Nissan 350Z Mule - Cayman Competitor?
Look a little closer, though, and it’s obvious this ain’t no normal Z. Lines of matte-black tape conceal what appear to be welds in the roof and doors made to shorten the mule’s overall length from that of a production Z coupe. There also is the matter of the bulging don’t-quite-fit-right headlamps.
The shortened wheelbase and the bug eyes give this prototype the feel of a 3/4-scale Zâ€â€which could be a huge clue as to what’s concealed under the altered sheetmetal.
Rumors abound that Nissan is working on a production version of the rear-wheel-drive Urge coupe concept from the 2006 Detroit auto show. Whereas that concept had transparent lower door panels, a two-plus-one seating layout, a T-top roof, and an onboard video-game system controlled via the steering wheel and pedals, a production Urge would probably be more conventional to better battle small, sporty cars such as the Mazda MX-5, the Pontiac Solstice, and the upcoming BMW 1-series coupe.
But the performance sights may be aimed a bit higher for whatever this car isâ€â€the Nissan was seen testing alongside a Porsche Cayman. That fact could point to this mule’s being an early prototype for the successor to the current 350Zâ€â€or a smaller-engined variant such as a 300Z or 250Z.
Whatever it is, it’s clear the future’s looking mighty bright for Nissan enthusiasts. If it’s the next (or a different) Z, there’s no better coupe to benchmark than the Cayman, and if it’s a mule for a smaller modelâ€â€we’d love a sports-car lineup with the Urge, 350Z, and GT-R.

Terlihat seperti 350Z biasa... Dengan kenalpot yang lebih besar saja... Tidak ada perubahan laen rasanya... Kalau di banding porsche cayman, saya rasa ini perbedaan kualitas yang bicara... 350Z masih banyak memakai plastik keras pada dashboard n jauh lebih baik cayman urusan interior, karena german selalu mementingkan detail interior...
Urusan kencang, dua2nya kencang. handling top abiz n balance semua... Hanya cayman biasanya lebih perfect dibanding 350Z karena 40tahun pengembangan porsche di dunia sportcars(porsche 911)...
