Nissan's old Z car has been with us for more than 10 years, which explains why enthusiasts have been screaming for a new version. Well, here it is, in concept "Z Proto" form, featuring real throwback styling that dates all the way to 1969.

"Every time we design a car, it's an honour, but with the Z being in the very fibres of our heart, so many passionate members have Z running through their veins, the same can be said by millions of people who have been touched by this car," head designer Alfonso Albaisa told us on a Zoom call with the Z's stylists.

Hiroshi Tamura, "Mr. GT-R," said on the call "this is our DNA. Many say Nissan is dying, but, no, we are the phoenix that is rising."

If Tamura's not bluffing, we feel pretty good about the brand and its sports car aspirations. Let's hope when the production Z comes out, it sets the world ablaze.
