Get a EVO-R high wing for it! Will look sick.

Jordo!

I love the new Nismo and I really like it in black.

Actually, with the red trim, it kind of reminds me of the old 60's TV Batmobile...

Cosmetically, a big improvement over the previous version and the extra options (several of which were always there for the Japanese version, BTW...) are a great idea.

If the next gen Z fails to impress, I may see if I can swing a gently used 2015 Nismo once the current Z is paid off.

nismo steve

It's interesting that you should say that. I feel the opposite about the wheels. In the pics, I was all for the new style, but video really shows how much the flat spokes kill the appearance of concavity. The centers are definitely deeper on the rear, but depending on the angle it's hard to tell.

I gotta give the old rims the nod.

Neat touch that I will miss as well, but on the other side of it, it seems like they're doing this because they're making the NISMO stuff more widely available and want to create the impression that these cars, while limited to less than normal production numbers, aren't going anywhere anytime soon. That part I like.

Perhaps a full run of M/AMG/RS/V cars for the everyman? I'm all about it.

They should go with SE-R for the "lesser" models and leave Nismo for their sports cars.

They sort of did that already, and I think it led to brand confusion. You had the Sentra and the Altima (and if you want to get more specific, the 200SX as well) and the branding never really took off very well for any of the models except the Sentra.

I think the execution of the NISMO brand starting this year (the Juke, new Z, and GT-R, amongst the Versa, Pulsar, and Sentra concepts) is far better than any previous performance branding Nissan has done. It's consistent with respect to color schemes and exterior design themes, you get performance gains (however big or small, but I think they're working on that as shown with the GT-R and the Juke especially), and all the other things you'd expect from a performance variant of a car.

Ford and its ST brand is heading down the road Nissan already did with the SE-R variants. The performance stuff is there, but the branding isn't very well executed. It doesn't have a flagship like Nissan does with the GT-R NISMO, and that's the same problem that Nissan had with its SE-R branding. You won't see a flagship with Ford's ST because an ST variant doesn't fit into the Mustang branding, and it's highly unlikely you'll see a Ford GT ST. Where the NISMO branding is set up to where you could apply its design and engineering philosophy to almost any Nissan, you don't have that with the ST brand.

Here's yet another walk around of the 2015 NISMO, this time of the European model and in Pearl White:



I'm a firm believer that when Nissan made the new body kit, Pearl White was the only color they were thinking of -- the other three colors were just shoehorned as an afterthought.

BTW: Checkout the lady at around 0:45 who can't keep her hands off the Z's sexy front hood. Car can't help but draw the hotties to it.

White is sort of the official color for all the new NISMO cars
