New Z specs

"Vehicle speed-sensitive electric power steering"

Q60 DAS:
"With the DAS system, steering effort gradually increases with vehicle speed and lateral G,"

Nissan obviously is burying the fact that their using DAS (due to being known to be terrible steering) since you have to go dig up their technically definition of their DAS to even understand the specifications on the new Z
that's a huge bummer. IIRC there's basically no real mechanical connection between steering wheel and tires with that system

I was under that impression myself when I first heard about it however there is still a physical shaft connecting the wheel to the rack. Just massive motors attached to the rack and column.
