i would have said the same thing too, but i have seen more than one article pop up stating that nissan themselves have set a target weight of no more than 2800lbs for the next Z and with the Q50's chassis, i just dont see that happening |

I know Nissan is extremely strict what they say about their upcoming cars like Z, but I have a feeling TT car with lightweight chassis will be our future. A car that will yield slightly faster than current Z 0-60, braking, handling etc.

And the Juke / GTR here Quote:
I would prefer Nissan cut down on the options, its a damn sports car why should the sports package be extra. everycar should have good brakes, tires, etc. Luxury items should be the only option for those who want a racer vs GT |

whoa, didnt expect this thread to get moved from the "other cars" section lol. in any case my original post was only meant to update people on some more hints that got dropped by one of the higher ups at Nissan, not meant to start speculation, but i can see how it can lend itself to that. i myself am with AK on this topic, im actually excited to see what they do with the next Z, but as for any details...well i'll just sit back and be patient for Nissan to reveal those.

I'm afraid Nissan will simply kill the Z which they did before and sell smaller turbo 4 sport car under the Silvia (200SX or 240SX) name plate. Btw, how are FR-S (GT86) and BRZ doing in Europe?

I don't know why people keep saying this when nissan has been quoted as saying over and over again that they will not get rid of the z as it is an iconic car in their line up that attract people to the brand

Let me remind you that Nissan had done multiple upgrades for the 350Z during its life cycle and that is what you would expect a car company to do with the iconic car. The truth is Nissan is giving the GTR upgrades almost every year and even the Juke is getting a Nismo RS version with higher engine output while our Zs have no upgrades at all in 5 years. I count what they do but not what they say.

and the last i counted, the 350Z had only about 2 updates in its entire run, those being the uprev engine in the 35th anniversary edition if you want to count that as an upgrade and then there was the full refresh which was the VQ35HR engine with a couple of changes in body styling to go with the engine upgrade

There is certainly nothing 'official' but just looking around the car world shows 'change' is coming. The next Z will reflect this and as AK has stated its going to be exciting.
Technology yields better power, in a smaller package, improved chassis dynamics and handling. I feel pretty good about Nissan's ability to harness that change and make a car worth considering! |
