[OFFICIAL] Discussion for the next new Nissan 400Z Z35?

Nick216

Literally turbo is all that car needs. 2.0 NA is dreadfull

Duc_Z09

Coming from a Mustang the lack of power in that car was a deal-breaker for me. The Z is better in every way except handling, and even that's open for debate. Certainly has a $h*t-ton more grip than the little Scibaru...

Looks: Z>twin
Brakes: Z>>twin
Power: Z>>>twin
Interior: Z>twin
Steering response Z=twin (both are good)
Grip: Z>>twin
Perceived quality: Z>twin
Cabin visibility: Z=twin (both suck)
Day to day usefulness: twin>Z
Price: Tough call, but IMO you get what you pay for.

Yep. I could even live with the interior, given that car with 300 HP.

Unfortunately I am not even sure if those motors hold up to much hard use without FI.

Davey

The steering is really good on the BRZ, and the shifter placement is pretty much dead on. The pedals are just right for heel & toe, the blind spots aren't bad at all... I think, other than the Salad Shooter wheels, it's a pretty decent looking car, too. I just could not deal with the lack of power. You put some sticky tires on it and there goes about 75% of the fun.

I guess I could get a golf cart and put plastic wheels on it and drift it around everywhere, that would be fun, right?

@FPenvy
I'm just basing my predictions off the numerous articles I read about the next Z being offered with "multiple" engines

@UNKNOWN_370
Tell that to Nissan who's gonna sell the 2016 Maxima with the VQ engine and thanks man but I've been a member here since 2009 just never posted lol

Anyone know if Nissan ever showed a 370z concept prior to unveiling it at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show? Any old articles would be nice

FPenvy

A. it's not cost effective nor a selling point to have 3 engines. only multi-million car selling models like jetta, civic, etc... offer something like a baby engine, hybrid, performance, and diesel.

a car like the Z being a low volume seller with a bit higher price point even 2 engines is not a great strategy. when you factor in wanting to expand slightly and smash the BRZ/FRS then yes a 4 banger, Z body, nad small price will make those cars go bye byes.

B. Maxima always gets the hand-me-down engines from the sports cars before they move on to the next platform.

C. the G37 was unveiled with the 3.7 VQ that also went into the Z. so by that you can say the 3.0L TT V6 shown in the Q60 unveiling is the next engine in the Z.

Weird thing is that Nissan is being very secretly about the Z35. No news (From Nissan), No concept, no dates....nothing.

Davey

Announcing a new Z isn't exactly going to get the 2015's selling... Unless it's a turbo 4-banger competitor to the BRZ...

NRTim

I'll play along.....no Z is gonna cost $60K

My prediction for the next Z:
Entry level: Turbo 4
Mid: NA V6
High end/Nismo: TT V6
