Side profile gives off 370z vibe. I actually find top half very identical to 370z. The interior is nice. I think I'll be totally fine with it. I'm assuming it's gonna be the SRM 6 speed.

The front end is a tough one. I absolutely hate the headlights. The headlights not only look terrible, it makes the whole front end look meh. If Nissan can fix the headlights and revamp the front end, I personally think it's pretty awesome.

This B roll is nice: https://flixel.com/cinemagraph/mrdhc...XLGensi2RzrAAg

The headlights need to be larger. They are small throwing the look off.

I know there's not much spec available and i'm sure you guys saw this , but I was thinking -- what width wheels do you think it'll come with? 9.5" and 10.5"?

I honestly like the wheels on the prototype. Wheel width matter for those who autoxes. I hope Nissan will release the specs soon ..

Thank God they left the gauges
Thank God for handbrake!
Those wheels are sick.
That roofline is dopeness.

Hoping hips are added to Nismo!
Hoping for better looking mirrors.
Hoping they redesign the front end.
I dunno how I feel about the headlights.

Can't wait to test drive!!!

I agree with you on every point; and I agree with you on the test drive although we both know - we'll have to wait at least 2yrs for it to be out so we can test drive a USED one - bc we all know Nissan dealers won't allow for any test drives - they will treat this the way Honda dealers treat the CTR.

Go to 10 seconds in.

Nissan if you are listening: 300HP VR30DDTT, 6MT, $40000 or less to start.

Pretty please

Ok - I don't think yellow is the right color for an unveil...really disappointed they went with that.

The grill is just lazy and absolutely a no go. The Q60 has a massive grill done right, I don't know why this one looks so out of place. It's too sharp edged, and even Alfonso glossed over it as if the grill was an after thought in the reveal event.

"The grill is not an artificial element, it is a result of the things around it". Sounds like an excuse for a lazy design.

The rear has potential, would really need to see it in another color to make a determination.

The interior is a 10/10. Overall...my hype didn't increase, but glad this thing is legit.

Real mechanical diff. Viscous diff is one of the huge drawbacks of Nissan 370z. I remember on summer day, 370Z diff would turn in to open diff during a autox run.. I really hope Nissan puts a nice diff in there. If not, it's gonna be tough to sell as cheaper cars like twin comes with mechanical diff.

Torsional Diff like a Wavetrac would be great with no drawbacks like a clutch diff. I do like my OS Giken a lot though.

Something like a low maintenance Wavetrac will do.

I'm hoping the wheel wells will be like the 370. Huge, to fit big meats.

Nope, no, nada. At this point it wouldn't make any short list for me. There isn't a single picture from the 23 on Car and Driver's gallery that make me like this car. Hoping a different color is what I'm needing and/or to see it in person.

Agreed.... the overall shape from a distance is more of a car that's going to blend in... I don't know... would have to see in person. And agreed.... Nissan just cannot do headlights for some reason.

After looking at the interior pics, I saw:
Turbo boost gauge and Turbo impeller speed gauge. This tells me it is the 400HP 3.0TT as on the Q60 the 400HP Red Sport has turbine speed sensors, the 300HP 3.0TT doesn't.

I saw the typical Nissan key fob thing (lower left of steering wheel), same as my Q60. The "Proto" is very likely a fully functioning chassis.
