Based on this, sounds like the earliest a new Z will debut is at least a 2017 MY.

However, it does need to be competitive in price/performance with the Mustang GT/Camaro SS. Just to get those guys of the the Z's back.

According to the Canada dealer notice, the lower price was on a 2016 stripped down Z34. If the new Z35 TTV6 with 400+ hp comes in cheaper than our Z34's. I'd be shocked but happy. Our Z34's would be worth a lot less but it would not cost much to upgrade to a Z35, so Go Nissan!!!

Don't think they will release the q60 coupe and z35 both in 2016. My guess is 2016 q60 coupe, 2017 z35, 2018 r36.

I know that over the past few months we have speculated, talked about, and argued over many rumors and leaked details over the very secretive new Z.

only details we have had to go on so far is some possibilities tossed in interviews from Nissan execs and the details of the 2016 Q60 that was shown. the details of that debut has given us all renewed hope and dreams of the next Z will/can offer.

now for the fun stuff:

last night I stopped by the Pittsburgh auto show for it's last night of the event. very nice to go last day since the crowd was very small and made it easy to navigate. and yes I know this isn't a bug name auto show and what could possibly come from it but you'd be surprised as to what you can hear from reps at these shows as well. I learned this last night first hand.

stopped at the infiniti area and was looking around. I made a comment as to why they didn't have a Q60 there mostly joking since again this isn't one of the top tier locations for auto makers and shows. the rep I was with went on to tell me they actually had one coming but due to the winter storms their truck hauling a few vehicles could not make it.

he then went on to tell me (off the record of course) that the Q80 is pretty much shelved for now and if anything it'll be a loooooooong shot 2017/18 idea.....if anything at all. I guess cutting into the GT-R market is still a big no no.

he also said that due to design stuff and some other issues we will be seeing a Z prior to the Q60 launch. so I would take from that comment that the Q60 is delayed at least a year now as well. also mentioned that the Z update has a chance of early 2016 release but most likely will be a fall 2016 if all goes according to plan.

the Z will most likely be TT since he smirked and asked "do you think you're ready for over 400 horsepower?"

I would assume with the few big car shows coming up we should be getting some new solid info on the Z very soon.

note: this was all just discussion between a rep. so please if anything doesn't end up being true remember I never said this is guaranteed. i'm just helping out the community with sharing info that was told to me. if not true then I am sorry and will be just as sad as the rest of you.

you sure ^he wasn't a Hyundai rep who just happened to be there checking out the Q-line???

I think there is no Z35, its going to be the Sylvia's line, they call it iDx thing with a hybrid 4cyl engine and maybe an option of turbo for the nismo version, ye it will be cheaper but faster than those pesky brz's lmao

Tadpole · 03-18-2015, 06:17 PM

They need to up the ante on horsepower to at least 450 or better. 400 Hp is laughed at now by the pony boys.

in the press releases the initial car on the infiniti side will have 400 and a sportier version (IPL) will have 450 the next model year. basically our 370 vs nismo.

sidenote 400hp boosted in a lighter car (Z vs fgt pony car) will absolutely smash that abomination that is a mustang.

A 400 hp turbocharged Z that's lighter then "the pony boys" wouldn't be laughed at. If the Z35 could stay the same weight as the Z34 then yeah the next Z would be faster then all 3 current ponys. Even maybe a M4 too. No way the Z would be 450 Hp way to close to the GT-R can't expect Nissan to jump up 100 Hp... when in history have they ever done that?

The Z31 Turbo to Z32 Turbo HP bump was in that neighborhood. Unfortunately the price jumped $10k at the same time.
