yeah...i agree, best one so far. if they thin down the red a bit, it would look better imho
Might be the best so far but in my opinion it’s still just Meh …
To be honest I think it’s going to be really hard to come up with aesthetically pleasing Nismo.
Most on the forum agree that the beauty of the Z is it’s simplicity and classic lines…and changes for a Nismo will affect those lines and the simplicity ….it’s why I’m not waiting for a Nismo. I’m more than happy with the Z, and I don’t need the extra power because I won’t be taking it to the track. I mean I suppose it could come in handy if I feel like doing donuts in the supermarket car park?

What do you guys think about this one?

I respect the work put in to create these and others like it, but it's just not my style at all. I could never drive something that looked like this. Some crazy wide body with odd shapes, vents, fins, forged carbon and deep dish chrome wheels... none of this works with the new Z to me.

There’s always the SEMA crowd on these renders, anything is possible. I sure hope Nissan doesn’t destroy the basic clean shape with tacky vents, wings, etc. it’ll be a challenge but waiting to get surprised!

I don't understand why the majority of these nismo renders look almost identical to the base model. Since when has nissan made a nismo version of their Z cars with the same front and rear fascia?? The Nismo versions have always looked different and imo better with a sportier more aggressive look.

I don't think Nissan has committed to a NISMO version yet?

If not, it'd be odd to make a thread for a vehicle that doesn't/won't exist.

Back in August Tamura said if there's strong customer demand for a Nismo model to return then why not. Nissan has not officially confirmed anything, though I do believe it will happen. I was hoping for something mid-January at TAS, even if it's just a teaser on a screen, but not sure how realistic that is at this point.
