Spy shots: Nissan 370Z prototype spotted testing in Germany

The 370Z will be targeting the Porsche Cayman on performance

The Nissan 350Z, or ‘Fairlady’ as it’s known in Japan, is set to be replaced next year by an all-new model sporting a larger displacement engine and a dramatic new take on the car's look. The current car’s combination of a front-engine RWD layout and a torquey V6 has won it numerous accolades across the globe, and it’s a formula engineers won’t be mucking around with for next-gen model. Our new spy photos show the car at its clearest yet.

The new Z looks to be somewhat shorter and trimmer than the current car, accentuating the flared wheel-arches. Also new is the rear quarter panel area around the hatch, where the window line sweeps upward, giving the car a bit of a familial resemblance to the sword-like design of the GT-R. A rear diffuser that surrounds the exhaust tips gives the car a more finished look from behind, while up front the more aggressive air-intake area and downward-sloping nose bring to mind the current Nismo car.
