Camera setup for this shoot Larry?
I love how they kept it simple. No scoops and just letting the design speak for itself. It's a classic roadster design that doesn't fail.
Looks like a hideous toy car. Sorry its just how I feel. I don't think this car looks inspired at all.
@@moonrooster7160 some people are just never satisfied.
@@moonrooster7160
It is ok. There are plenty of other choices that may suit your taste.
@@esphilee yeah like an older version of the z
@@moonrooster7160
This car is for Z fans, it will sell like a hot cake. Ofcause You are entitled for your opinion.
I like how I can see each of the generations in styling of the Fairlady Z captured in this new one, very nice.
Yes! That’s what it is! Well said
That's cause they don't change anything
@@giraffesushi8112 haters never change either
@@z32luvr neither do bootlickers.
@@z32luvr who is
hatin?
Can't wait to see this car in a darker shade of blue
Like the devil Z?
and put them black and white Wats then just call it the Devil Z
Yeah, I do believe I seen a render of dark blue and it looked pretty nice
You mean Midnight blue?
AKUMA ZETTO
We all know that there is going to be a formula drift car made out of this and it will look so cool.
Several
I guess Chris gonna be person behind the wheel
Imagine, rocket bunny kit on this car.
Hoepfully they use tune the engine it came with factory rather than the old 2jz swap formula
@@lliimmee-9556 looking forward to a white RWB version
I'm a old Z fan, like big time. I lost a little love for the 370. But... WOW. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 . THAT'S HOW YOU MAKE A OLD CAR A NEW CAR. THANK YOU. REALLY.
The best tribute car to come out in years.
Very retro taillights. Reminds me of Cyberpunk, new yet retro.
👍 exactly
Yes those look good
Somebody needs to mod it into the game
Same, tbh I hope someone makes a light bar with that black housing, that would look sick
Well... I want it! Nissan was my first love. S13’s and 14’s got me into cars. Option video, 300zxtt, R32,33,34’s filled my dreams. This car is re lighting an old flame🔥
KingDM haha your right bro;) I had a kid so I thought I should get an STI since it’s four doors and I knew if I got something RWD I would slide it. But I really miss it lol. No track here in Maui or I’d build one for track/drift duty!
100%
@@justinturner4850 you could have bought a r34 4 door but im guessing you need reliability and not too deep of a pocket to spend on
I think it looks waaaaay cleaner than the new supra
not only that, it's got a manual!
Agreed!
Amen, puts supra to shame. I think the Supra is way too much BMW inside and out, compared to the iconic supra its nothing like it at all. The Z is a direct clone of its classic version, the design speaks for itself. It will out sell supra by a mile. Supra i hate to say it because im a huge older supra fan 2jz.love them but the new one feels like a sell out.
Why is it with the Supra that basically being a BMW is considered a bad thing to Toyota fan boys?
@@juelz4516 because it's supposed to be Toyota probably?
Well there goes my savings. I love how at certain angles the headlight looks like it's raising an eye brow at you.
Its teal'c from SG1
I might need to start saving my pennies if these end up driving as good as they look.
Just take a q60 for a reference point
@@userseveneleven The Q60 has a very "squishy" auto trans, it's heavy and loses a lot of power in the drivetrain. This Z is light and the trans will grab hard so more power goes to the wheels
I wanna like your coment but i cant coz u on 69
Was gonna buy a c6 vette but this thing looks worth the wait
Ends up driving as good as it looks, ENDS UP ! It's designed from DAY ONE ! To Drive as good as it looks!
Nissan does NOT go racing for fun, they race for engineering data banks , on the cars they race.
Better boost that savings account with Dollars, the question is , can YOU , Drive well enough, to explore twin turbo on track day ?
Nissan has to give you one for free. this is the best car commercial ive ever watched. I want one in orange!
I’d like to see the Fairlady Z badging make production
Rumor has it that it is.
Stateside? Hope so
@@AzureCrux I believe they said for Japanese market only.
@@Martell3003 ugh I bet they will make it like the 420z or some bs here smh
@@von... Not sure if trolling but if it has any number attached to it, it'll be 400Z or just Z.
Love it, absolutely love it. It’s just so basic in a world where nearly all cars look like spaceships. I needed this. Nissan and Toyota killed it with the new z and the gr Yaris. The only new cars I’m excited about it.
the more pics you take , i'm getting to visulize of what the final shape would be in production and in my mind it looks sick af to be tweaked ! imagine this goin up pikes peak and the clouds in the background !!!!!!!!!!
I am a massive Z guy.
First car was a 1986 T-top 300zx n/a.
I love the z family.
This car is epic.
Nissan has to be proud that car is so nice, it's one of the most beautiful revival
@@KingDeadMan FD Kit?
@@JimMcBeam Formula Drift
Not all hero's wear capes :
Some wear dope sun hats and heavy ass cameras , thank you Larry for getting us through this year 💯🙏
Very clean snd simple looking i like it.
Agreed. The new supra looks like totally overdesigned.
@@pa86_ yes it does and no manual. plus many have complained about the factory suspension setup being terrible on the supra
This car has become the most anticipated car for me, can’t wait till production model and order one.
Sucks that I have to wait even longer for the convertible version.
@@fortheloveofnoise9298 just imagine if they gone the T-top version on this one...
Larry done Made-It!! The big time baby! Larry's THAT GUY (congrats)
I love the throw back to the 300zx tail lights, one sexy ass z
I’m so glad they gave you this opptunity Larry. Well deserved and no one else would have bought it to us in the same way. Amazing work for a true icon of car being released soon.
That thing with a gargantuan spoiler is gonna look ballistic.
I want to know what the Nismo version will look like
White with red accents as usual 😜
Watching a true master at his work. Well done, Sir!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE that retro look in the rear of my favorite Z, the 300zx. It's about damn time Nissan. Thank You. You are going to bring me back to the Z fam. I can't wait to get one now.
This is how to design a sportcar. No FAKE scoop, no Fake vent, no fake wing.
Omg this car just look great.
Those photos are Absolutely beautiful, absolutely.
Soooo awesome what a cool honor to have Nissan contact you to be their exclusive release guy
It looks great lots of vibe from the first era my brother had a nice blue 78 280z when I was a kid in school I made him take me to school in it when he was home visiting from the navy
I know you're the best guy to do this release love your work Larry top shelf!
The new Z would be the most iconic beauty in sports car history. So cool!
This is the first Z car ive been excited about in a long time... What a wonderful episde of HAF... Keep it coming Larry!
It’s amazing just to see Larry do his craft
They did an excellent job. Kept the original theme going and it looks very similar to the last generation. More power and upgraded interior was all the last model really needed. Bravo Nissan!
I love that you can tell when Larry had a ton of fun with some shoots
I'm not a big nissan guy but this...this is special
Man you have a way of capturing cars that makes them even more beautiful than they already are. 🙌🏼
the man, the legend, and the z
I cannot wait to get my hands on one of these!
Larry Chen is the Man! Jealous of your life Brotha, thanks for the Z content!
Wow. Nissan got every penny worth with this shoot. So much location knowledge and veteran execution at all of them, such good results. A true professional, Larry.
Damen Larry is getting mad respect from Nissan. You deserve it man
Im just waiting for Larry to say "as you all know, I have a Z"
But the shots is always amazing!!
lmao waiting for it!!!!
You presenting this to us!! Is a very beautiful thing 👌🏽❤️
Never been much of a newer z fan but I really like the curves and lines from the side view and the rear of this car looks amazing
The shots, especially out in the wild, are immaculate 👏
I was waiting this video so much, and it became way better than I expected! Cool stuff Larry, thanks again for the awsome content!
The Beauty in the Beast... of a city.
陈哥, much appreciation. Thanks for all that you do.
I'm so excited about this car!
this car is so beautiful cant wait to get one!
Honestly i think its stunning. As a kid in the 80s my neighbour had a full show condition 240Z, electric blue metallic, braided lines, painted engine bay, plastic covers over the lights, chrome everything. is dad was a restorer with the best restored Pontiac in OZ. God that car was beautiful and that Proto Z has so many stunning cues that take me right back to it. I'm sure you would have loved to shoot that car. And the '57 Pontiac Chieftain. and '28 Buick Standard for that matter.
Larry that has to be a honor! You do amazing shots, the fairlady is amazing! I'm hoping you get some super shots of the new Bronco!
Will Nissan use any of these for the brochures? This shot Larry are EPIC!
The more pictures I see of this purty car the more I like it. I feel like they put a lot of effort into making almost optical illusions. The car totally gets different styles and looks from different angles and that's pretty unique. The paint changes color a lot with different lighting as well which seems pretty intentional. I'm so glad you got your hands on it Larry 😁😁💙
This is now my dream car, your work guys is in another level, incredibly Beautiful !
This car is so nice. The tailgate is just *chefs kiss* ...you know the car is serious when your wrap the tires lol
What a beautiful car, can't wait 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good looking car ... be interesting to see what changes from this "proto" version to the street version and of course the race, rally and drag .... good job Nissan 👏
if they nail the price this is going to sell like the z33
They should price it around the gt86/brz to make it competitive in the market. It will sell like hot cakes
@@sooooootamad7539 no chance. It will be above the 30k msrp mark.
@@2ndAveScents well if the base is around 30k then it will be good too. Just not supra level price tag
@@sooooootamad7539 twin turbo v6 will be over 30k base closer to 40k. If that’s the base engine that is what I would expect. Hopefully the center touch screen isn’t some cheapo TFT garbage like in the Prius either, but even with it as an option I would expect it to be over the 37k base mark with that engine.
@@2ndAveScents man they should do a digital dial dash instead. I mean even that is fine though. 37k to 40k isn't as bad with an engine like that. Maybe base could be na
I'm so excited for this car.
Hey Nissan, there better be an "Orange Bang" special edition color at release!!!!!
my 1st 72 240z was orange.... and grey and black with primer and bonds..lol
The square grill looks like a nutcracker doll
Best outro on UA-cam Larry. Love this channel.
Larry has the best job in the world
oh yes that is very reminiscent of the classic Z
Thanks Larry!
And you deserve this bro, you are an amazing photographer.
Awesome video and amazing images! Cant wait for this car!
Wow... what a crazy opportunity! So so nice!
most these pictures look straight out of a game!! well done!
The more you look at it the better it get. I want one now
That is super sick. They did a damn good job with that one for sure. I want one.
i LOVE THE RIMS THAT CAME OUT OF THE TRUCK BED
absolutely beautiful work!
Gorgeous car, they are taking their sweet time getting it out on the market.
This car has such a perfect stance to me. Not too low, and does not have god-awful wheel well gaps. The wheel/tire combo is perfect as well.
the design is very minimalistic, love it!
LARRY LARRY LARRY!!!!!!! Killin it! !!!
This car is mindboglingly beautifull. It's not for sale yet, but already a timeless classic.
I like how nice you made LA look! Amazing work!
Cool shoot Larry (& crew) I've been viewing 'Autofocus for awhile now and your presentations have really grown on me. This car, you have, celebrated, elevated and given a context that is relatable to the public. Whether associating with Grid Life, doing the company a favour, celebrating creativity or recording an event for posterity, you and crew have become the standard by which I judge all other auto image making. And I love the 'Z' family. Cheers.
Can't wait to see this in person!
Never been a Nissan guy, always been a muscle car guy but always appreciated the old Zs. Might have to cop one of these when they come out.
Always the best contents 🙌🏻 and Devil Z is back ! Be ready Blackbird 😎
If Nissan decides to builds this I will buy one.
So clean
we love you Larry Chen!
Amazing shots.. job looks like a ton of fun
beautiful shots. i learn a lot from your work :)
Larry do these kind of videos! This is more interesting to watch/listen! than hearing what people have done to there cars/trucks!
Great shots and scenic spots Larry!!!!
The best man for the job just love this the I love the fact that it's modern retro old skool z, so gutted we're not getting it in the UK, has anyone else ever seen tyres wrapped in plastic wow that's factory fresh
pictures are absolutely insane
Bruh, my first car was an NX-R (NX2000/100NX). I then purchased a 350z in Le Mans Sunset (the greatest colour ever made), and currently own a 370z in Magma. I don’t normally comment on UA-cam vids, but I also happen to be an amateur photographer, and your shoot is fantastic...!
So much love to you and the team, simply because I know the effort involved in staging shots like this, and also because I love the Z.
Thumbs up!
Amazing work per usual!!!
The look is growing on me. Side profile is sick.
Love this vid and I’m really starting to love this car 🙌🏽
real z32 vibes from those taillights!!!!
Hell yeah!!! Lets go!!!!
Gorgeous!!! Happy New Year
Larry, you lucky SOB!
Just kidding, no luck here. You've worked your ass off for this. Nissan couldn't have picked a better person for this shoot. A great photographer who is also a Z Stan. I'm happy for you.
