The Ford Mustang won’t be the only sports car on the red carpet in Los Angeles this November.
Basking in the glow of the awesome GT-R, Nissan is ready to unleash a restyling for the iconic Z car.
Engineers have been flogging Germany’s Nürburgring with prototypes--and creating a feeding frenzy for the spy photog set.
So here’s what we see: The new Z car is definitely ballsier. Check out those beefy flares over the rear wheels.
Compared with the current Z, the new car is shorter and wider. And we expect the nameplate to switch to 370 Z, as Nissan drops the 3.7-liter version of the VQ V6 under the hood.
And you can bet there will be a convertible version to go along with the coupes we’ve been seeing.
