For one thing, it'll save me having to say, "Well, actually, it's a 370Z. The 350Z was the previous model, which had a slightly smaller engine. You see, the numbers signify..... blah blah blah blah blah yawn".

At last, we have information that seems to be informed. I wouldn't necessarily believe all of it and there is clearly information missing (eg., will it be RWD and will there be a manual option and has the rumoured puny 4-cylinder option gone?), but in less than 40 weeks there will be an unveiling of of the 370's successor. Wow!
...and please don't believe the 'artist's impression' rendering from BestCar magazine. Like all pre-concept attempts, it's a horrible mish-mash of bits from here, there and everywhere. Be patient, wait & see ![]()

Smart move to assess when firm data is out about a new Z. I could see the company simply calling it.....The Z. The car has a unique heritage and it will be interesting to see what Nissan create now.

There have been a couple of mentions of the stalk like "mirrors" on the concept.
Those are stalks to hold cameras that we can view on our screen. Our Civic Si has one on the right (under a conventional mirror). It's really great, but sorta hard to use at night, lots of glare. Have seen this on several concept cars.

It doesn't. The RS has 400hp, relatively soft suspension, ZERO steering feel, zero exhaust noise and no LSD. I test drove one and it was a pretty meh moment. The engine was nice but it wasn't drool inducing. The car just had zero edge/excitement to it.

A 2016 model 370z costs $60000 in Australia now. 5 years ago the price was $65000. We only get the top of the range model here.
I spoke to my local Nissan dealer and a salesman said Nissan will stop making Z cars. |

A Nissan salesman said they're won't be a new model? That settles it - there definitely WILL be one, in that case. The rumour is confirmed!

HOWEVER.... Nissan stated in 2013 the Z would possibly built on a new MODULAR chassis that would be able to be modified or all drive trains, RWD, FWD & AWD. Which common sense would say, that's why the Grip Z was a mish mash concept of sports car and crossover. In a early 2016 article it was stated that the Nissan juke would be the first car in a 5 car series on this NEW MODULAR PLATFORM. If in fact the new Z will be the second car to be built on this modular platform? Then in fact all speculation is null and void till we can at least get some feedback on chassis specs from the new platform. I think it's very possible we get the Benz MCT in the AMG's for our Z? I think DCT is very possible if in fact we get that new chassis for our Z's. Which I think is MOST PROBABLE. If that's the case... all these very logical guesstimations and speculations will be dispelled. Remember this post.
