Besides the looks of the Nismo Z, I think it packs some really good tuner goodies from the factory to save would be tuners $$$. I'd look at the Nismo Z as a work in progress (minus that obnoxious spoiler) for a tuner type driver. It says that Nismo retuned the VQ35HR with new internals (80% new parts). Perhaps it's worth investigating if the refined VQ are now better suited for more aggressive FI mods. The Z is looking more and more like a beefy late 80's 911 whaletail edition.

New Z..........

Like what I see so far but it needs a set of HREs. Those wheels without a
lip makes me want to replace them before I leave the showroom....haha

I dunno, that just looks like a kit. I still think this one they had in R&T seems more likely.

Vicki Butler-Henderson. She's one of the hosts for Top Gear rival Fifth gear. She works closely with Tiff Needell. Professional race car driver and instructor. She's was really cute in her younger days, but she's gotten a bit chunky lately. Still an awesome girl nonetheless.

The autoblog Nismo rear looks like someone after they got a busted/swollen lip.

The R&T "enhanced" render looks like someone with braces smiling when they clearly shouldn't be.

Have to agree. Looks like some kind of stupid honda-like retrofit.

the one from R&T is conjured up by a 3rd party artist that has nothing to do with nissan.... the autoblog pictures are official releases directly from nissan.
