  • The New Nissan Z is here. But to understand why this new Z is important, we need to go back and look at the last 6 decades of Nissan and Datsun Z. Nissan has a chance to finally beat the Toyota Supra, but the legacy of the Z is full of trials and triumphs, and Nissan will have to learn from its mistakes in the past in order to make sure the new Z is everything it needs to be.
    So let's take a trip back and analyze the true story of the Z, every model from the before the 240z to the 260z, 280zx, 350z, and 370z, and see the rich history that made Nissan's most popular sports car what it is today.

    New Nissan Z or the 2020 Toyota Supra? Which one would you take?

    My grandpa passed away nearly 2 years ago, one of the things he left was a Datsun roadster 2000 which he and his friends had built for racing. It sat unused for 35 years. I had every intention of keeping the car and restoring it because it’s a really cool car and had sentimental value because it was my grandpas. Once he passed away, my grandma just decided to sell it after we had told her that we wanted it and what we would do with it. That’s not even the worst part. She sold it to a neck beard in a van for about 1k worth of yard work. If she wanted something done she could have asked me instead of selling my most important connection to grandpa. You understand my frustration right?

    After seeing the history of this car I must say nissan did a fantastic job in bringing this old design into the modern Era

    This (and the GR86) is very likely to be the last generation of pure combustion engine manual cars before milk carts take over the world of motoring.

    Let's remember Nissan is doing all of this WHILE BEING ON IT'S LAST LEGS.

    The “your mom” Fairlady joke. That’s why I liked this video. No other reason needed

    Brings a tear to my eye, Nissan stepping up to the plate and delivering.

    This feels so polished and professional for someone with 100k subs. I gotta stick around for this guy.

    the Z32 is one of the most timeless car designs ever - still looks stunning today.

    Man this is such a well researched video. I want a Datsun 240z!

    I loved the z32 as a teen in 1989. It was the most ahead of its time Z ever introduced and oozed personality and charm. It was the most appealing car on the road in the early 90s for many. Wish the 400z had a similar front end to the shark like z32. The rear is reminiscent of the z32 which is its best point stylistically. Its sure to succeed and should help nissan regain its glorious past.

    370Z owner here. With some tasteful mods, it is an amazing car. The refreshed Z will be awesome.

    They kept Z34 chassis code to maneuver stupid Japanese regulations to keep the car cost low. If they called it Z35, they wouldve needed to add whole shitloads of safety sensors, autonomous braking and stupid electronic handbrake. Thank god to Nissan for being smart

    You may be a Nissan hater but this was practically a love letter to the Z and what a letter it was! I'm a pretty big nerd when it comes to the brand but

  • @stezenast5878
    @stezenast5878 2 роки тому +52

    The fact that they're using existing parts (engine, chassis) is a good sign. It means the new Z will be reliable because all the parts have already been time-tested

    By far the best recap video of the Z history with so many interesting details and images, quality work-can't wait to see what you create when the new Z comes out next year!

    Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo is, and always will be, my favorite Z car.
