VIDEO: Nissan 370Z partially revealed in Need for Speed teaser
Click above to view gallery of 370Z screen caps from NFS: Undercover
Recently published spy shots of the upcoming 370Z have largely revealed the overall shape of Nissan's iconic Z car. But there's certainly more to see, and thanks to an official movie trailer for the upcoming Need for Speed: Undercover driving game, we've got a few glimpses of the final product. The 370Z will apparently be a drivable car in the game, which features a more theatrical story-line than most driving titles. The character you see above is Hector Maio, one of the game's criminals who pals around with his brother Zack. We've got screen captures from the video below, as well as the video itself after the jump. There are only glimpses of the 370Z throughout most of the video, particularly the car's headlights on in the dark, but near the end we see Hector greeting his, ahem, associates around it.

Ugh. Keep the lines clean and crisp. Boomerang lights are not clean and crisp.
A great shape, ruined by over-stylization. Don't try too hard to be cool and cutting edge. Form follows function, WTH is the function of the boomerang 'L' is for looser shaped lights?

I disagree. I guarantee this thing will be a definite looker. The tail lights flow very well. I cant wait for this car, first time I have truly been excited for a Japanese car in YEARS. sorry GTR

Where the hell have you been? EA has been doing this for years with the Need for Speed series.
On a side note, isn't the guy in the 3rd picture from the first Fast and the Furious? Quality Oscar-caliber performances for sure. :-P

I'm sorry but it looks unbalanced. like a whole bunch of cars stuck together. the rear fenders don't work on this car, and look at that blind spot- what is this- the CTS Wagon? I hope it looks better in the official pictures. Don't diss me. My sister owns a 2006 Z and it's probably the best Nissan I've ever ridden in.

I like the GT-R style roofline with the sharp angle on the a-pillar, but I do have to agree that the rest of the car is a mess. The bulbous shape of the car is dated and the boomarang lights are horrible (especially since it has them on both ends.)
The real test for this car will be if they lightened it up enough to make it a real contender in the twisties.

That's Christina Milian.

Torrent - Girls call other girls 'hot' or 'cute' plenty of times (where I live) and nothing wrong with that. Also, I'm not the girl in the avatar (for inquiring minds).
SPF - I had a feeling that was her...I just didn't want to say it. Either way, she's a cutie.

I don't get why EA keeps going back to this character format? What was the best NFS title all time? Yes NFS: Hot Pursuit 2. It didn't have any of this nonsense and that title is still fun to play.
I will now get off the soap box.

Not just directing this toward you VP, but to all others....
Everytime NFS stuff comes out, we are all reminded of Hot Pursuit. Guess what? Let's move on because HP2 was on PS2 in 2002 and what we loved about HP gamnes were done well in Most Wanted and hopefully the new game will do the same. Many of us don't go back playing PS2 games from 6-7 years ago BECAUSE WE HAVE MOVED ON TO GREENER PASTURES. I made a choice a long time ago not to be that twenty-something slacker (not you VP) w/girlfriend rumaging through the bins looking for cheap entertainment for the weekend. It's f@$king sad. Do I buy games from those same bins? Absolutely. Good deals can be found everywhere.
Son of a... I forgot where I was going with this.

I wonder how relatively realistic will the car be in the game. I'd like to know if Nissan actually provided a test mule for the EA so that they recreate car's dynamics in the game.
