Nissan To Preview New Z Sports Car With Tokyo Motor Show Concept: Report

Looks like we will see the next gen Z next year instead of a year later than expected. Nissan is way more prepared than they let on, as usual. Can't wait for the Tokyo auto show.

Smaller? Less Cylinders? Electric?!

...Pass.

I'm in if they get it right. Electric motors have all of their torque available from 0 rpm. Smaller probably means lighter as well. A turbo four could be interesting, especially if it's under 3000 lbs. I don't get how people can say no to something we know nothing concrete about.

Any new Z is better than no new Z. The brand must live on. There is nothing wrong with owning one of the classics! I'm proud of my Z34 and will probably be buried in it. Ten years from now, it will be neat to show up to meets in a well-maintained 15 year-old car.

Glad I have a daily driver to keep the miles down!

Very true. If they don't get the sales up, they'll kill the Z. It wouldn't be the first time. At the rate I buy new cars, I'll be looking again sometime in 2021. I still need the daily driver, but it's too much fun to drive the Z every day.

Chuck, I'm with you. While mine doesn't have all the cool stuff yours does, I still enjoy driving it on a daily basis. I can't see owning a car and leaving it in the garage, only to be driven on the weekends when the sun is out.

I wouldn't mind a daily driver for rainy days and running errands where I need to buy more than two loaves of bread, though. I might need to pick up a $1500 Craigslist beater truck and $49/mo liability only insurance.

Awesome. Can hardly wait.

XiP · 09-13-2013, 09:29 AM

I hope it's really awesome

It could cost $1000, weigh 1000 lbs, make 1000hp and have an attachment to fondle your balls while you drive and someone here would still bitch about it.

This s the only forum I know that worships other brands for minor attributes and complains on it's own for the most trivial things.

The Z for most in this forum is a vanity purchase though. That's why our forum is structured with this type of nitpicking and ridiculousness. We have the cake and eat it too crowd.

Oh that explains it! I wondered why it was so important to me that my Z color matched my Coach purse.

my guess is they saw how well that crappy built but TONS of fun to drive 86, frs, and brz sold and nissan said to themselves "I want some of that" hopefully they dont try to pull a sub 20k car to compete. The Z car may not be the fastest on the street, but one thing they have ALWAYS had is good build quality and reliability which jacks the price up a bit. turbo 4? ok, im down with that as i have a subaru wrx so im well aquainted. electric? GFYS nissan. maybe in 30 years when they have perfected it. but now? batteries are ****, that thing will last all of 5 years, as 99% of electric cars from all manufactures are already proving. they are heavy, expensive, complicated, and dont last as long as the cars they are put into. extra torque or not, if they so much as touch the next round of Z cars with an electric motor I will just buy an M series BMW or something.

I drove a BRZ and boy was it fun. but upon inspection....... its built like you would expect a sub 20k car to be built..... like a piece of ****, especially interior quality. and, of the 2.5 "scion being the .5 pretend company" companies that build it, the subaru BRZ would be the one you would expect to be the better version if there are any differences at all. I hope..... no PRAY nissan isnt going that route seeing an opportunity to just make some cash off of unsuspecting lemmings. hell mazda and mini have been doing that for years, ever drive an MX5? its a damn blast! would I ever own one? not in a million years. no one gives them any attention, and act like OMG HANDLINGZ!!! is some kind of brand new concept invented by the frs,brz,86 in 2013....

If they make it smaller, no upgrade for me. Hello C7.
