More info on the next 370Z

Sure does, which benefits me and my time line. still is a long time. if its true I wonder if theyll just continue with the Z34 platform till then or kill it off in 15 or 16?

If they do put 10 years between the 370z and it's successor they better go big especially with it also being the 50th year anniversary of the Z.

A member on here says he talked to an engineer at zday 2014 and we can expect a 2017 nismo rs with stock forced induction to send the 370z out with bang. Any bets that's gonna be a close to 50,000 dollar nismo lol... Just sayen

I think they'll continue it for a few more years, if that's the release year. Seeing how the Z34 assembly line is already built and paid for, it wouldn't hurt them to squeeze a few more sales and empty whatever stockpiles they've got.

Yea... well... I hope it's not as pathetic as the RS upgrade the Juke got. What was it: a 10 hp boost?

if they kill it wouldn't the value of our cars increase a little then? possibly? if it does come out in 2018 the way inflation is going 60k will be like 40k now lol 0.o

The member on here I think his name was Huck mentioned they were thinking of a super charger for the 2017 nismo rs not a turbo. I hope they go turbo!

I think some of you are overthinking thisCarlos Ghosn Nissan restructurization. Nissan started with the bread and butter cars on design overhauls. then the restructure the SUV/crossover market. while doing this, the Z got small updates and price restructuring.


It feels to me its taking long for the Z to come out because of the way they are systematically restructuring. Also, they don't want to make the same marketing and pricing mistakes that they made with the Z 34. they want to build Nismo name into something more meaningful than just badgesand appearance mods with minor tunes. restructuring a sport car segment is much more difficult then the bread and butter cars.

Have patience and give nissan a chance to show and prove. I think we will be happier with the Z35 than with the current 34.

I am not sure about the bold comments above. After all didnt we get posts of nearly all Nissan models being tarted up with Nismo aerostyling and interior lately? To me this indicates them merely milking their current vehicles and not really caring about the true meaning or performance orientations of a Nismo and what it should at least stands for. In essence I think Nissan made their statement showing that Nismo is nothing more than a badge and extra income potential for them.

Now... I'd pay 60k for that but there is no way that thing will be close to 60k.

With the power figures they announced for the FT-1 they can't go much past 60K IMO. Looks only go so far and around 400 HP isn't enough for me to justify 60,000+

zeeder

The new C7 is only 460 HP and it doesn't take much to get to $60K and the Porsche Cayman S is 325 HP and starts above $60K!
