The seemingly endless stream of unofficial leaks and spy pictures/videos of Nissan's latest Z-Car finally reaches its peak this morning, with the release of this very flashy official video from Nissan. This lengthy nine minute promo is slick, well-produced and genuinely interesting to watch.
Clever 'x-ray' style images dissect the car, as different aspects are discussed in more detail. Considerable focus is given to the geekier bits of the car, such as the VVED (Variable Valve Event and Delay) system that aids combustion, and the SynchroRev Match system that negates the need for heel-and-toe manouvres on downchanges.
The video explains how some of this stuff works and exactly what it does, and manages to do so in a way that should be accessible even for less technically-minded petrol heads. The clever moving 3D images and diagrams are interspersed with some dramatic driving footage, watching the 370Z elegantly swooping through some twisty bends. At the end some side-to-side comparisons with the 350Z also make for interesting viewing.
