Put me in the back of that Nissan Z hearse when I die.

Nissan Zearse

[u/KintailPhoto → u/RedditHatesTuesdays]

Updoot for you.

[u/Good_Air_7192 → u/Shmokesshweed]

By the sounds of the impending merger with Honda, Nissan will be putting themselves in the back of this Z hearse.

[u/Shmokesshweed → u/Good_Air_7192]

😂😂😂

[u/SPLICER21 → u/Shmokesshweed]

Transmission is probably crap. Like early R35's, that Nissan Legal Team "smallprinted" weren't warrantyable if you used launch control. Best believe I'd go into SERIOUS debt for a Toyota Century GR Wagon stateside, though.

[u/ajkd92 → u/SPLICER21]

Is that a Century V12 with twin turbos?

🤤

"Some of Nissan's tech college students combined..." Good project, hopefully just a proof of concept but it needs some work for primetime.

[u/yellowcroc14 → u/sonbarington]

God awful and I love clownshoe cars, but Nissan footed this bill? That’s pretty sweet to let some kids dick around for probably very little useful r&d

[u/Rynyann → u/sonbarington]

Should be noted that it isn’t a college for engineering or design. It’s a trade school for bodywork / automotive repair / that kind of stuff.

So it doesn’t really have to make sense or flow well, so much as it has to be well assembled.

[u/RiftHunter4]

That Z is the ugliest thing I've seen. Where can I buy one?

Also, I can't wait for Doug Demuro to review it in 10 years.

[u/Shmokesshweed → u/RiftHunter4]

Thissss...is an abomination.

Head on over to carsandbids.com and click on the "Abominations" tab to see more vehicles like this one, including thissss... Thissss... And thiss.

[u/Flamebomb790 → u/Shmokesshweed]

Is the fiat multipla and the Pontiac aztek in the list as well?

[u/Drzhivago138]

The C/D pillar area is...not great. But they get an A for effort.

[u/Adach → u/Drzhivago138]

It could use a little more fender flare

[u/Jamaican_Dynamite]

Remember the Nissan Stagea? A little change here and there, this could be a hit.

[u/Santa_Ricotta69 → u/Jamaican_Dynamite]

That's what this is based on. As far as I can tell from the article, there isn't even any Leaf in it

[u/Captain_Alaska → u/Santa_Ricotta69]

It says in the title, it has the tailgate from the Leaf. The M35's tailgate is totally different.

M35 Stagea

This

ZE1 Leaf

EDit: Actually I think they grafted the entire rear end off the Leaf from about the centre of the rear wheels backwards. For example if you look at this in-production here you can see the rear window/body is too short to be the Stagea's (even if it was covered up by sheet metal) and if you look at this picture of a Leaf bodyshell I pinched from a Ukrainian wrecker you can see all of the chassis where the rear door is is mostly identical save for the fact they've obviously cut out the wheel well.

[u/TookEverything]

In 10 years, someone’s gonna comment that they’ve seen more of these than the normal Z.

[u/KingMario05]

Man, I wish my college did cool projects like this. So great to see Japan investing in its automotive future!

[u/V8-Turbo-Hybrid → u/KingMario05]

Some Japanese colleges are exactly build by local automakers, so they’ve many resources in auto education.

[u/wtfthisisntreddit]

This isn't new, same school students built this Murano Z thingamabob

[u/8N-QTTRO]

I hate that I want one. It's like they made the G35 sedan worse in every possible way, but still ended up with something cool somehow.

[u/Roboticpoultry]

People out here modifying the new Z and I’ve still yet to see a single one

[u/thetimechaser]

Holy shit just take Nissan out back and shoot it already

[u/jawnnyboy]

Turbo v6 rwd hatch with a 6sp manual? I’m in hahahaha

[u/ReaperThugX]

No wonder Nissan is going bankrupt

[u/DRJT]

Kinda reminds me of the old Mazda 3

[u/furrynoy96]

Fix that pillar and window and we have something beautiful

[u/DrFuckwad]

It has potential

[u/Educational_Age_1333]

The universe is gonna implode. The car everyone on this sub talks about.... And it's a Nissan 

[u/BroadlyValid]

Zeaf

[u/Hrmerder]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

[u/R_V_Z]

Who knew that Z + Leaf = Jenson Interceptor?

[u/mr_beanoz]

I thought it would be called Nissan Fairleaf.

Also, the article also has the Neo Skyline, which was a mashup of the 1970s Skyline with the last gen Skyline/Infiniti G35. For some reason, it looks like a drag car, at least to me.

[u/TheBestAussie]

This is so fucking ugly

Why they gotta do the z like that

Give me the 4 door Z type R

[u/NA_V8]

This looks like Homer Simpson's creation

Like the 80s Maxima wagon with the 300ZX engine my parents had when I was a kid. What a car!

[u/JTibbs]

Blursed

[u/dedzip]

Saw the picture before the title and assumed it was a new BMW

[u/AbbreviationsOk7512]

Kill it with fire

[u/No-Kiwi-1868]

It kinda looks like somebody inflated the Z's arse up

[u/BygmesterFinnegan]

Only a clown would own that.

[u/WabbitCZEN]

KILL IT WITH FIRE!
