Sounds heavy. Havent seen a lightweight hybrid yet. Maybe 2009 to 2012 370 will be last true sports car from Nissan?

A car must preform significantly better than my current car. The 350 was not worth buying over my then DD 300 ZXtt, in order to justify the money. For 360 HP vs my 370 /c mods, I would pass. With a 76 mph slalom I would.

Nissan could just put regular side mirrors on this car and it could be the next generation Z car:

Nissan ESFLOW Electric Sports Car Remains Environmentally Sympathetic Without Giving Up the Joy of Driving


NISSAN ESFLOW Concept puts the spark into electric vehicles

It looks like a sports car, handles like a sports car and performs like one too. But ESFLOW is different than every other sports car yet built: It's electric. Using technology pioneered in the award-winning Nissan LEAF, the EV concept shows that driving can still be as much fun tomorrow as it is today.

At a Glance
•ESFLOW - a pure EV sports car concept
•Rear-wheel drive two-seater
•Two electric motors, each driving a rear wheel
•Laminated lithium-ion batteries mounted low for best weight distribution
•Dramatic styling with wraparound windscreen for unobstructed visibility
•0-100km/h in under 5 seconds

The Z is definitely not dead, and yes, it will be a new vehicle. I'm betting on hybrid, myself, especially given Nissan's current leanings toward battery tech.

You know alot of people in the automobile industry, including corporate people will tell you anything. Deep down they know the truth but can't tell you for various reasons!

It's not a rendering. :)

the next z has to be Turbo or twin turbo since the ghey juke has a turbo. imo it would be stupid for nissan to make a crossover turbo and their sport car n/a. maybe not tt since the gtr already have them.

Seems like every rumored concept Z I've seen sucks. But once Nissan finalizes the concept and it goes through production design...they nail it. So I doubt we'll be disappointed.

But really, I’ll be looking for continued incremental improvements in all aspects – of course more power, refinement in feedback and balanced handling characteristics, interior amenities and comfort, quality, reliability, and finally a design that remains very conducive to a mod-happy aftermarket. The 370Z is really a marked improvement in all aspects over the 350Z. Lets hope the same is true for the next Z.

So, I should call you in 2012?

Hope they stick with a gas engine

That's because it is a photoshop of an Aston. This is not an actual design from Nissan...

I'll pass ...I kinda hope they keep our body style for a while

That would turn into a problem for Nissan. Similar to what happened to chevey. The Camaro and vette all had the same motor. People were putting headers and little things on camaros and keeping up with the vettes for half the price so they discontinused them. This is what I have "HEARD". But it is true if u slap some headers and and tune on latter model camaros they stay w the vettes. I feel like if they tt the 370 all u would have to do is tune it and run some more boost and have ALMOST a gtr for again half the price. Just my $.02

Again, the car is real. The photos of it with the white backdrop are real.

It's simply a concept. However, I wouldn't say it's far-fetched to see Nissan push out a hybrid Z, especially if the Leaf ends up being successful.
