The 370Z Is 'Not a Priority' for Nissan
France & England will stop sales of all gas, diesel powered cars & trucks by 2040. Norway by 2025 and India by 2030. Volvo to discontinue gas only powered vehicles from it's line up. BMW spending the bulk of it's R&D monies on electric or hybrid models.

The writing is on the wall. Car companies are not going to start a car from scratch, that utilizes a gas engine only. Nissan has already undergone hybrid r&d for the GTR. As Christian Meunier stated, the GTR is their halo car and that will continue. "The 370Z is not a priority for us" but added "he/we would like to make a successor to the 370Z."

I take that to mean, no new model Z in the near future. But I keep hope that it's possible to get a hybrid Z in the distant future, as Nissan can use the info learned from the GTR hybrid to incorporate into the next Z.
