Nissan Gripz 2016 Review
The sports car silhouette and the raised ride height of the Gripz are two of its more prominent features. These two characteristics of the concept underscore the belief that the old 240Zs didn’t have to be low to the ground to be fun to drive. If that’s Nissan’s goal for the Gripz, then it might be onto something here. But the concept is more complicated than that, because depending on your taste for unconventional design, the Gripz Concept will draw heavy reactions from people who either love it or hate it. Some people appreciate Nissan’s boldness while others scoff at the mere suggestion of a Z crossover that could dilute the Z family’s sporting legacy.
A configuration of the front section also highlights the unconventional distribution of panels throughout the concept. The bumper and the fenders, for example, appear to be made entirely from one panel with no clear hints on where one ends and the other starts. A view from the side will show this panel extending all the way to the bleeding A-pillars, stopping only because of the presence of the butterfly front doors. It’s the same thing with the matte black wheel arches and the intakes just below the bumper. The concept also features three-spoke 22-inch concept wheels. The tires were specifically built for the concept by Bridgestone.
