News in Brief

Nissan goads us with updated Z looking more like Datsun 240Z than ever

Published Updated

We awake today to the news that Nissan has refreshed the Fairlady Z (or just 'Z' in some markets) coupe, with new colours, wheels and other styling updates. We reckon it looks more like the iconic Datsun 240Z of the early seventies, and that is a very good thing. There's a high-performance Nismo model and even a brand-new six-speed manual gearbox. Imagine that, a rear-drive sports coupe with a manual transmission. *sigh* That's right, it still isn't sold in Ireland - or anywhere else in Europe for that matter. Rumours suggest that might change, however, so keep lighting those candles at mass.
