Cant wait to get one of these... seems promising.

I like this render
https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/pp...-rendering.jpg

It definitely gives me the vibes of a 370z with a body kit and new headlights and taillights

That looks pretty good to me!

I kinda like that render, sorta..... :ugh2:

problem with that render is i saw vents in the front bumper which i think will make it look even better.

also, those chrome roof strips gotta go lol

dig the GTR wheels and brakes though :tup:

Look close man, those are side marker lights on the front bumper

That chrome strip is the first thing to go if they don't offer a chrome delete package. Want to see if that back ends looks like an updated 300ZX back end, if it does it should look pretty nice.

dont kill my hopes for some functional aero dammit lol

Very Jag F type look.

That's it! I was trying to place the lines.
Not a fan of the big, open maw in the front.

The Jag F-Type stole the look from the 240Z... so the Z going back isn't Nissan copying the Jag. ;)

it looks very much jaguar F-type, a little Aston Martin Vantage

If that's how the new Z looks, I like it. Now if they go with auto transmission, they should use the zf tranny

I'll be in my bunk!

https://www.e-typecenter.com/uploads...range-01_2.JPGThe 240Z stole the look from the Jag E-Type.

They both look like fat lumps. Where are the lines of the 240Z?

Many of the renderings are thicker/chunkier than the actual car shown by Nissan. Not a fan of that. Keep it lean and mean.

I don't know folks … the "most-realistic-to-production" drawings I've seen thus far look too much like my '17 with tweaks to the sheet metal.

I was really excited when I saw this version; and, I think this is what the Z needs for its next gen …

I actually feel like that one shouts Hot Wheels a little too much. I like the previous render. Looks very similar to the silhouette

Haven’t checked the forum for awhile and this is great news! Personally I like the Autoguide render the best as it pays homage to the original 240Z the best but with a modern vibe. If it comes with a stick and drives well, 2022 may be the year to part ways with my M2.

How is the M2? Any issues with it? I've always appreciated that car for what it is.

babyzilla, My M2 has been trouble/issue free so far (knock on wood). I follow the M2 forum on Bimmerpost and it looks like the original M2's have been very dependable with only few minor issues. The M2 Competition with the S55 (M3) engine which came out at the end of 2018 has slightly more issues, which included a few engine swap outs by BMW. However I believe those issues have been worked out, as I haven't seen anything on this for awhile.

I really enjoy mine. It's faster in every aspect vs the 370, is definitely more parctical and the vision is great. A few things I miss about the Z, hydraulic steering (M2 is really precise and very good for electric). Shifter as the gates feel better defined in the Z, plus the M2's feels a little rubbery and the height, length of the clutch pedal travel. The M2's one is really long and the top stop point is about an inch and a half above the brake pedal. I've put in a BMS clutch stop to shorten it but it still comes too high. However the pedal's weighting is good, it's light and excellent for DD duties plus it's the damn easiest 6mt I've ever driven!

I plan to keep it at least 5 years before making a switch. I really hope the 400Z is a winner and makes it a hard decision for me to keep the M2 any longer :icon17:

I was replying to the 'fridge door handles' comment - not saying there won't be door handles at all.

Personally I'm glad. I've been told the technical reason for the 350/370s having those door handles (and apparently it was technical, not for styling purposes), but I won't repeat what I've been told, because it's not important - what's important is they've got rid of them.

The car in the video has been smoothed out and styling lines/creases have been removed. It will be nicer than that.

They've got the headlamp housing wrong though. Think 240z.

amusing thought:
Nissan reuses the transmission

keeps the plastic CSC

third generation of failures

still says no problem

lol

I think the smaller Aston/Jaguar-esque headlight route would be fitting. The original Z carried European inspiration and doing that in similar vein, as opposed to just reinterpreting the 240Z, would be more tasteful imo. Quite frankly, that makes a good looking car regardless of continental inspiration.

No offense to anyone though, but it's pretty annoying to see car sites try to pass some random illustrations just for clickbait. Some of these interpretations are just baseless or go a delirious path without any realistic engineering sense behind it...and then some people get overly invested in criticizing it or as if it's actually it.

It'll be more exciting if/once we set test mules. MKV Supra forum was getting really close to the production model.

I could be happy with almost any headlight if the CSC problem has been resolved.

New Render on Motor 1:

https://www.motor1.com/news/427056/2...ept-rendering/

mehhhh front looks like a ford fusion.

no stand out body lines or curves. i would probably pass if that was end design.

that being said if they bring back Monterey blue i'll probably end up buying one lol

babyzilla, Getting back to you in regards to the M2Competition model (late 2018s till current) with the S55 engine. Did some searching on Bimmerpost. It's an ongoing issue, it's a crankhub problem that can ruin the engine. All M3 & M4s with this engine is susceptible. There are fixes for it and is highly recommended if you do any engine mods or tunes. If you're stock and past the 3 year warranty, better to have it fixed vs paying for a new engine. Luckily I have the original M2 engine which does not have this issue.

That rendering completely misses the one cut line we CAN see in the video, which is the rear quarter hip line. This rendering is missing that completely. It also looks out of proportion to the video. Nope, not going to look at this one anymore.

same thing I thought...the person who made the fan rendering completely missed a MAJOR group body lines.

Found another render based on the teaser

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f42b3ff209.jpg

Found this pic as well. The bottom was the render and I altered it to make it the top version a BIT CLOSER to how nissan would approach the actual ride height and such. Added bigger side mirrors, raised the car a few inches, cut the fenders so they didnt wrap around the tires.

are there any rumors as when to everything will be fully revealed? pics, specs, etc. if the z looks anything like the above pic im sold.

let us hope Nissan avoids all the fake vents

What u dont like the fakery vents of the bmw supra.

Plz I hope they have functional vents.

I'll be in my bunk!

Damn if they made the New Z look like this. Wow.
It would be on another level when it comes to looks if your comparing it to the bmw supra.

But as for type auto tranny, now that could be the **** part. Potentially

I'll be in my bunk!

I agree...

But I thought you were going to stay in your bunk? :confused:
