Design wise it is all visual.
The black roof makes the car look lower and longer.

Same cars but the blue looks longer.
Not a new trick this use of...

Those who have not seen the 400Z reveal, should.
It is on YouTube.

You are correct.
Many points, most negative on kicking off the new Z at this time.
A major point is price . Even if Nissan offered a really new Z, from the bottom up, that was priced near 60K,...

Cool Carbon etc

Also,add cost.
Sure does appear,using the same chassis,same weight.
Beef up the HP with a ready developed engine,looks like the plan.
Marketing wise,call it a 4O0Z that equals 400 HP.
Aftermarket...

Cool Well done video

I pretty much agree on Doug's comments.
Again,the PROTO is a work in progress.It does look more done than not to me.
I suggest to many to look at the PROTO.the overall design flows quite well.

Interesting fact on the 6spd manual.
Maybe Nissan was digging back in the Z tradition.
The original 1970 240Z was available ONLY with a manual(4spd).
Beginning in 1971, a 3spd auto was available....
