Toyota Supra borrowed the platform of BMW Z4 to resurrect again, how can its old rival Nissan Z watch the old rival monopolize the market? Therefore, Nissan has developed a new generation of Nissan Z as early as Toyota decided to jointly develop the Supra with BMW. As a two-door sports car, the Nissan Z has been selling well in overseas markets, and although the domestic ownership is low, it is also deeply loved by domestic JDM fans.
The Nissan Z has launched several generations of models in japan and north America, which has been well received by fans. The affordable price, excellent handling ability, and good power make it a favorite street sports car for young people. Now the new generation of Nissan Z has finally been unveiled, and recently released a price, the price in Japan is 5,241,500 yen - 6,462,500 yen, at the current exchange rate of about 270,000-332,000 yuan.
After all, in Japan, 270,000 can buy a 3.0T V6 engine coupe is quite cost-effective, and it is necessary to know that the same level of supra needs 640,000 yuan to win in China, and it also takes a long wait. Of course, if Nissan Z is introduced into the country, its price will not be cheap, unless it can be sold locally, or in the form of CKD assembly, of course, nissan Z itself is cheaper than the supra, all the imported pure import version is expected not to exceed 500,000 yuan, and the cost performance in the field of small sports cars is also very good.
The appearance almost restores the design idea of the Z Proto prototype car, and also continues the family design language of Nissan Z, and the overall shape is relatively young and dynamic, which is in line with the aesthetics of the car user group. The front face design not only pays tribute to the old model, but also adopts a different design from other current Nissan models, such as the wedge-shaped lower edge of the lid, such as the big eyes of the bionics, in addition to the boxy grille also has a retro charm, which is in line with the tone of the Z series as a whole.
The side shape is the finishing touch of Nissan Z, and the A-pillar design of Nissan Z has not changed for many years, using a hard and gased corner line design, leaving a deep impression on consumers. The line between the A-pillar and the roof is obvious, and the folding line extends all the way backwards to the parking space, forming a slip-back design, and the triangular carriage formed in this way is also the usual design language of the Z series models.
The tail design is full, the entire taillight area is more square, and the black decorative panel in the center forms a penetrating design, and the light strip design inside the taillight is also paying tribute to the old model, retro and dynamic. The design of the exhaust is relatively low-key, using a flared vent, it is expected that the sound wave is more sensory, in addition, the lower diffuser is also more moving, in line with its positioning, after all, this is a god car that can drift off the track of the original factory.
In terms of interior, compared to the supra, it is true that there are some crotches, after all, the supra uses the platform of BMW Z4, and the Nissan Z belongs to independent development, although the shape is relatively cheap, but the material is still solid, especially the curved layout of the center console seems to find the feeling of the Japanese sports car in the 90s, the triptych plus the LCD dashboard and the LCD screen seem to have a sense of time and space dislocation. As a fun model, it makes sense.
The power side is definitely its highlight, the whole series is equipped with a new 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, the maximum horsepower can reach 400 horses, the torque reaches 475 Nm, and matched with 6MT and 9AT gearboxes, 0-100 acceleration can be done in 5 seconds. The most important thing is that it uses a mechanical handbrake, which is really the Z series of consumers' careful thinking to the death, the person who buys this car inevitably does not pull the handbrake to shake the tail, for it such a combination of power is not only abundant, but also very playable.
Summary: The bringing of Nissan Z finally allows Nissan to fight back in the face of the old rival Toyota supra, but the premise of entering the domestic market sales is that the price should be reasonable, if the price is low enough and the cost performance is excellent, I believe that its competitiveness is still much greater, after all, the cost price overseas is very cheap, if the introduction of the right way its pricing can be low.
