The Z's future
 

Nissan commits to 370Z's future - Autocar.co.uk

Pretty good news if you ask me...

the longest the Z was ever really fully phased out for was like 4 years from 99 to 2003.

If they go ALL electric then I definitely will not be buying another Z. If it was a hybrid with 400hp, then MAYBE I can consider another Z in the future. If they do go the turbo route then I would probably be all over it.

Just like the 240Z introduced people to affordable sports cars, I hope the next Z introduces people to affordable electric sports cars. Assuming the driving range improves, the only thing I would miss would be the exhaust note.

I've been talking this talk for a while now. Looks like I might be right.

If the z goes electric i will never own one... EVER.... turbo'd hell yes. im sorry but you loss everything fun about owning a sports car when u go electric. (sound, feel, modability, testicles)... alll those things gone with electric cars.

It's where the world is heading, though, so you might as well be first to the party.

Look up the tesla

True,

EV technology can be pretty cool if done right. It can only get better as technology advances.

Yeah, it's not the same fire breathing stuff we all know and love... but if that's the way the world goes we can at least still have power. And instant torque. :tup:

100% of peak torque available straight off the line may change your mind.

look at teslas review on top gear. a 55 mile range and handling like a pig is not what i call fun. furthermore, i believe that there will be something to replace gasoline for internal combustion engines. if not, there will be millions of 2 ton paperweights around the worls... im sry but the world will never go full electric practically...

It will take a long time to get there.

agreed. right now unforunately the words sports car and electric do not go in the same sentence. current technology doesnt allow it. nissan will be writing the z's death sentence if it does this.

If gas gets super cheap it will be a death sentence...

But that's unlikely. It's got a better chance at reinvigorating the Z brand than it does destroying it, IMO. My guess is we'd see a hybrid Z before a full electric.

People where scared and disliked the car when it first came out. Horse back was the main personal transport. Just look at how far it has come since then.
