Nissan has posted photos from both Kyle and I on their Facebook page from ZdayZ this year. If you have a Bookface, please go and like/comment/share the heck out of it please!
In the meantime, how about a family photo? LtoR: 2014 Juke Nismo RS, 2015 370z Nismo w/ new "Tech Package", and 2015 GT-R Nismo It was an honor to be asked by Nissan to shoot these cars and from impressions, it sounds like they couldn't be happier with the results!

Nissan just posted a cropped version of one of my photos as their banner for (I'm told) a month's duration! Super excited about this! If you are on Bookface, please go and give it some "like" love!

there's a difference between a COOL looking car and a GOOD/BEAUTIFUL looking car. the new 2015 undoubtedly has the "cool" edge over its predecessors but I would firmly disagree with anyone who thinks this new look has a better long lasting appeal. the 09-14 nismo has a proper flow to it, perfect proportions and doesn't feel like things were added to it, it feels like that's how the 370z should have looked in the first place. natural. But as for the new one, there are a few things they added i think make the car look COOL, but not necessarily good. At first I fell in love with the front, but the more I look at it the more I start to dislike it over the old simple race-car style. The rear is Hideous now and that wing looks like a stretched version of what comes on the sport. LAZY and looks bad. the Side skirts on the other hand.... as well as the seats, im hoping you can buy from nissan to retrofit my 13. other than that its a ugly rehash of a car that would have benefited much more from a diet, better cooling, revised clutch system and a little more power "NA". thanks nissan for wasting a good chance. They are trying to draw in a crowd that spends most of their time looking at car calenders and collecting fantasy hot wheel cars. 12 year olds.

I was just talking with several other Z guys today about the new front end. I'd like to see if they have any data on the old vs new. The 458 Speciale is rocking a similar front end so there may be some magic mojo to it that we're not seeing (other than the obvious larger front end opening for cooling purposes) but we think the earlier version of the Nismo front end probably has more downforce though it's not really much.
Also of note, the two "holes" below the grille opening are blocked off with plastic, these could have easily been used for some sort of brake ducting or the like. I'll be interested to see when/if they do an RS version next year that utilizes more of this bumper and we're just not seeing the "future potential".

i agree it MAY have some aerodynamic advantages but are you on a track 24/7? I care more about my cars looks than I do its on paper performance from a wind tunnel. otherwise I would be driving around an 800hp ugly a$$ EVO or something. If the performance gained subtracts from the cars beauty then its an overall loss in my eyes.
