The Z Proto gets the seal of approval from legendary tuner Kazuhiko 'Smokey' Nagata.
During the reveal, Nagata told Web Option Tokyo, “It’s much cooler than I imagined. Nissan is good at making sports cars. Personally, I like this 100 times better than the GR Supra. They’ve kept the traditional long nose and short deck style, yet it feels very advanced.”
“Unlike the concept model, the prototype refers to a state that is as close to possible for the commercial market. I think this is a good tactic by Nissan. From the tuners point of view, there are a lot of possibilities to evolve the car. You could make a long-nose front bumper work, I feel.”
