Nissan Gripz Offers A Rally Fighting Take On A New Z-Car

If you want to go off-roading, you can choose from a tall hill of SUVs and trucks, large and small. If you want to go fast, there’s a similar pile of sports cars. But what if you want to go fast off-road—or at least look like you do when you’re not stuck in rush-hour traffic?

That’s the apparent target for this, the Nissan Gripz. The “Z” isn’t just a passive aggressive swipe at copy editors; it’s the tie between this concept and Nissan’s Z sports cars, the idea being that if you cherished the 240Z or ever lusted after the 370Z, maybe a four-seat variant of the Z line that looks like a half-pint Rally Fighter would catch your fancy?
