Zed’s not dead

Alfonso Albaisa, Nissan’s Senior Vice President for Global Design, let slip that a replacement for the ageing 370Z is on the way. “The Z-car, oh my god. Huge pressure,” Albaisa told Wheels when asked about his upcoming Nissan design work. October next year marks the 50th anniversary of the launch of Nissan’s ground-breaking 240Z, which lines up nicely with the Tokyo Motor Show, where it would be logical for the Japanese manufacturer to reveal a new Z-car.
