Less than a couple of months ago, Japanese sports car aficionados finally got treated to the Z car they’ve been waiting for. It’s going to be a while before the Fairlady makes its way into dealerships, but everyone is eagerly prepared.
The 2023 Nissan Z officially premiered with a few quirks. One would be that it drops the numeral designation... although everyone keeps (unofficially) calling it the 400Z. The second would be that it features the same internal Z34 moniker as the 370Z predecessor. But, aside from that, it’s a genuinely nice package.
Its design closely resembles the Z Proto design study, so there are no surprises as far as the styling is concerned. More importantly, the two-seater is as highly anticipated because everyone expects it to give the GR Supra a run for its money. And it’s all thanks to the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine snatched from the Infiniti Q60 with up to 400 horsepower.
Now, all we have to do is wait for the initial deliveries. And prepare the aftermarket mods, it seems. The Nissan Z has quickly become a darling of the virtual artists around the world, many pixel masters coming with their interpretations – ranging from cool to forgettable. This vision, stemming from the mind of the CGI expert behind the jota_automotive account on social media, is a bit different.
First of all, it’s not wishful thinking. Instead, it’s a commission from automotive customization shop Arios Suzuki for a slightly wider and very retro custom kit. We really can’t call it a widebody kit, although it’s not far from it either. Aside from that, it’s all about the details. For example, the CGI Nissan Z looks stanced and even comes with a slight camber for the front wheels.
Speaking of the latter, the alloy design is a very cool and sporty one, but we’re not so sure the bronze shade combines successfully with the white, black, and red accents. Some might have an issue with the wide black plastic fenders, but of course, beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. For us, the fender mirrors and the stacked exhaust outlets bode well for these overdone protections.
