Yea, a cross over Z. :shakes head:

Actually Nissan was working feverishly on the new Z, but apparently all the R&D effort got redirected to work on this instead...

:rofl2:

Now you know where all the Nissan engineers are working on. This is more important then anything else. :tup:

:facepalm:

Nissan's hard at work creating nothing anyone cares about I see.

I miss the days of cool concepts. Instead we get crap like the 370Zki

dafuq is this?

Guys. I know what's happening here. Someone replaced Nissan's Alexa with Siri.

*Nissan builds 370Z for tenth straight model year*
Nissan: "Hey Alexa, wtf do we even do with the 370Z?"

Alexa: "The weather's not looking so good out there. 27 degrees and snowing."
Nissan:

Very sad indeed. Enjoy your 370Z you already have!

I’ve been keeping an eye on a lot of the comments taken from too Bissan executives lately, definetly seems like the Z as we know it is dead for now. Everyone says “ the Z platform is not a top priority.” They went on to say “there is no need for further projects when you already have the GTR as the flagship model.” They also notes that more efforts will be put forth on the NISMO brand.

Cuz everyone wants to spend 100K+ on an AWD “sports car” with back seats that weighs a lot? Nope.

Sounds about right with everything i've heard too, all this came from interviews with Nissan VP's by respected automotive journalists like motortrend and road and track.

I was on nissans website builder and noticed the color choices are limited. Colors that have been available earlier in 2018 are no longer listed. Do they do this at the end of each model year or is this a sign of discontinuation after the 2018 MY?

Another Z Rumor
 

Nissan partnering with Mercedes for the next Z?
https://jalopnik.com/huge-grain-of-s...n-z-1823764622

sooooo someone at jalopnik got bored and reused the same article from 3 years ago but added in the talk of the new supra.

all the info given in this is very old. just fyi.

I read this too and no matter what else they said .. this

"Whatever Nissan ends up doing, I hope the next Z becomes a reality somehow—
even if it has some Mercedes guts,
the world is better with a Z in it. :tup::tup:

I have to agree with this

I don't even know if this is worth posting but... jalopnik hates talking about the Z in any positive light. So there's probably something they heard half credible. But I think we already assumed this so... it's worthless news.

https://jalopnik.com/huge-dose-of-sa...z-w-1823764622

I just posted this in the appropriate area n I was hesitant to do so. But hey... it's Z news I guess?

Yea.......it's a big.........Here’s a wild idea: what if :shakes head:

Saw that yesterday, did not feel it was noteworthy....

Don't know if this has been posted yet.

https://www.carthrottle.com/post/nis...-up-to-475bhp/

I'm feeling a little more hopeful.....just a little.

:iagree:

And here's another:

https://www.leftlanenews.com/nissan-...hp-100124.html

Still a bit skeptical about Nissan giving the green light until it's confirmed directly from Nissan themselves.

its like groudhog day in here.


all the same info we've had for 2 years now :rofl2:

This is the same thing they said around this time last year... so I'll believe it when I see it.

The most cost-logical thing they can do is platform share with the Q50/Q60 and rinse and repeat. AMS has demonstrated that they have a lot of headroom in the new VR30DDTT (they just dynoed around 800whp in their project Q60), so if they made a 450hp version of the Z to properly slide it against things that compete within the target price range (Camaro, Mustang... I know the Z isn't those cars but for the money it is going to draw those as alternatives, and Nissan knows that, and Nissan needs conquest sales for a next gen Z), it's doable and there's a decent business case for it.

I don't know where all the Mercedes BS is coming from... they don't need Mercedes to do any of this. At most, they make a bottom-tier trim like the Q60 that plucks that garbage Mercedes 2.0 turbo with its garbage transmission, but that's it. They don't need anything else from Mercedes.

VR30DDTT with a 6MT please Nissan. Or a DCT.

Another story on rumors for a new Z:

https://www.autoblog.com/2018/03/19/...cessor-rumors/

Lol I told you guys Z news would heat up again in 2018, then die again...as for that autocar website, what those idiots don’t know is that the Tokyo Motor Show only happens on odd years, I seriously(hopefully) expect that they release a concept next summer.

400Z Just Announced?
 

Is this real or what?

https://www.carthrottle.com/post/nis...-up-to-475bhp/

I read this also hopefully it's not just another false rumor. Fingers crossed, although it will most likely be out of my price range.

https://www.carthrottle.com/post/nis...-up-to-475bhp/

400Z apparently just green lighted. Q50 and Q60 doppleganger

3.0 L - shouldn't be called 300Z? Oh wait - we've been there already.

Can we just get a marijuana powered 420z?

Reading the article they expect the size to grow in all dimensions... I think that would just start to be to large... you can add horsepower but if you add size and ?weight too ? What are you gaining..price!

And it would be legal in Canada.

Nissan '400Z' Is Reportedly Happening With a 475-HP Nismo Version - The Drive

475 hp twin turbo v6

Ha ha

Have you seen the Canadian marijuana road side test spoof yet on FB?
