Description[]
The 2023 Nissan Z is a sports car designed by Nissan and produced starting 2022. It is the successor of the 370Z which had been in production for eleven years; the car however retains the same internal designation of Z34. The car is colloquially named the 400Z but is officially not numerically named; as with all Z cars the car is named the Fairlady Z in Japan. It is powered by a VR30DETT 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 9-speed Jatco automatic. Prior to this the car was previewed by the Nissan Z Proto, an early concept version of the Z with some minor detail differences.
The existence of this casting may have been teased by Hot Wheels marketing manager Jimmy Liu in an Instagram post. For its initial three releases the casting was named the Nissan Z Proto; no changes were made to the casting itself when it adopted its current name.

With a twin turbo charged V6 engine and its two seat cockpit design, the Z Proto is a worthy tribute to Nissan's previous generations.
