Last week, the company debuted the Nissan Z GT500 Race Car for the Super GT series in Japan. It replaces the GT-R as Nissan's entry in that series and sounds incredible in this video.

Pretty badass!

QUESTION: for the retro Z fans. Do you think Nissan made a mistake by not naming it the 400Z?

There's also this pretty cool "Surf Out" electric pickup

All this has the Z community wondering if there will be an electric Z or perhaps a hybrid model.

Apparently the next GT-R will go hybrid.

In fact, Nissan is targeting 40% of its sales to be EVs by 2030.

They also recently showed an Ariya-powered single-seat sports car concept.

Someone spotted a Z on a trailer and the car was wearing Fairlady Z badging. I thought Z was going to be the global name but maybe Nissan will use the classic badging in Japan?

Pretty cool look at how the Z would look if they took more inspiration from the 300ZX

Here's a pretty wild rendering.

The spoiler is a bit (lot) much but the aero looks very DTM-style

Is this one a bit much?

Looks like the Motor Trend folks are doing some sort of comparison with the Z and the Supra... although that looks like a modified Supra. Odd

These two 2023 Nissan Z prototypes were spotted along Angeles Crest Highway (California) by the owner of the modified A90 Supra that decided to take a photo of them with his car in the background. I believe this if the first time we've seen the two rivals together like this.

Sounds like they are racing, but based on the slow speed they are passing the 18-wheeler I'm not sure they are.
