Next z like original 240
 

"The current Nissan 370Z is six years old, meaning a replacement is on the horizon. But what will the next Z car be? In an interview at last weekend's 24 Hours of Le Mans, Nissan Chief Creative Office Shiro Nakamura revealed that one idea for the next-generation Z could see it move down market, closer to the original 240Z or the 1999 Concept Z."


Next Nissan Z could be more like original 240

Looks like we will be waiting awhile for new Z, doesn't seem like they have a direction of what they want to do with it yet. Unless Nissan is trying to throw us off with some Pear harbor type ish.

how many of these threads do we really need? :ugh:

i guess the OP misses his Z

/move

can Nissan get their **** together? quit wasting time with lmp1 cars and give us a new Z

if you dont like your Z, trade it for a challenger.

strong reasoning

alternative apparently good enough for the OP

Only if it's a Hellcat. :eek:

Fast Lane Daily. About the 3:25 minute mark. This was posted on the 19th. :shakes head:

Next Z May Be Delayed(dateline - June 15th)

cliff notes: they mention a gap in production similar to the one between the 300zx and the 350z as a possibility

THIS JUST IN:

nobody knows for sure what the next Z will look like, or if there will even be an upcoming Z.

In a way, I kind of hope that they do not make another Z. Our current Z would hold value a lot better.

I saw this bullshyt coming.

Yes FLD confirmed the next Z is still years away.

The upcoming camaro is going to be a 455hp/455lb tq, 3600lb, 53" ride height, beastly tire wearing, magnetic ride control styling, 1LE bench marking, first elect steer with real feedback in sport and track mode.... And a stock moderate track suspension.

The Z is heading toward novelty car.

I remember my 09 Z felt so visceral. My 11 was visceral but slightly muted, the 13 went deeper into the GT world. The Z gets softer instead of more aggressive but key disturbances in the car haven't been fixed.

I think my Z is awesome In spite of, but reality is, Nissan has created a formula for failure when updating this car. Things that should've been looked into. Not necessarily in this order.

1. Direct injection
2. Weight reduction but to add some insulation around the wheels
3. Better tires
4. Adjusting the suspension for slightly improved stock cornering.
5. Exhaust tuning
6. CSC failures
7.a better interior update
8. Throttle response improvements

The Z never needed a external refresh till about now since they went so long. But improved radio, soft touch upper doors, better quality plastics on the console and door controls have been much needed.

Nissan totally missed the bus in updating this car. Though we buy it for a different reason, the right changes would've attracted more new buyers.

There would have to be a cease in RWD car production for the Z value to maintain. Demand is low for a Z. I just don't see it. We lucky it was holding value pretty strong till 2013. Now, there's a lot of good Z deals. From my vantage point. We're seriously headed toward novelty car.

At the very least the next Z needs to compete with American muscle and/or other 2 seat cars. In the sense of power, tracking, and price.

The whole time I thought they were working on the next Z cause of that Jay Leno video where he paid Nissan a visit....did they scrap their original plan or something?? :shakes head:

They got their heads up their a$$ right now. Because they don't know which direction they want to go with the next Z. There's no leadership (motorheads) in the company. Just look at the LeMans car. :confused:
