You can camp out all you like with a telephoto lense at the side of the Nurburgring, but as-yet unreleased cars can pop up in the most unlikely of places. There have been plenty of spy shots around of the new Nissan 370Z but perhaps the clearest images can be found in a teaser video for a new Need for Speed video game.
We don’t get to see the whole car but some of the details are revealed. If this really is the 370Z we can confirm that the next Z will have similar headlights to the US ’09 Nissan Maxima, which taper into a V-shape. The rear is stubbier than the current car and the taillights have a fishhook design.
The car is likely to use the 3.7-litre V6 found in the Infiniti G37 but recent rumours suggest a 4.5-litre V8 could find its way into a special edition Z. Stopping power will be provided by Brembo brakes and the car will ride on 18 or 19 inch wheels. The most important aspect of the new car is that it could actually be lighter than the outgoing Z, which should sharpen the performance even more. The car will be unveiled at the LA Auto Show.
