TerribleONE

I agree, unless driving at the limit which is hard to do with a GT-R on the street.

Interesting read but nothing that has not been said before.Will 2017 be even the year a new one comes out?They mention a shorter car.I sure hope that does not mean shorter driver/passenger compartment.At 6 foot 3 I am already a tight fit in my vert.

That article reads like some ******** honestly. It's horribly written and kind of gives me an impression that they just copied and pasted different pieces from previous rumors.

Then the interior section says



Then it goes on to say they will offer many features to make the interior more modern.

Meh give me a reputable site

It really sounds like the article was translated into English.

These are the speculated rumors I've gathered so far from endless counts of hours reading articles online:

- Turbo four and Turbo six both with hybrid technology
- Targa or T-Tops roof
- 400 pounds lighter
- Multiple engines offered
- Price in the ballpark of $30,000-$60,000

I should hope there should be more synergy with the GTR. A de-tuned NA version of the engine for example, but lacking the AWD system (and back seat) and general luxury. Add in Recaros, bigger brakes, bigger Rays wheels, nismo exhaust & suspension and the MFD for the Nismo Z. 60k wouldn't be bad for that though half that should be the target, at least for the base version.

what's the price tag on that going to be??

I think the engine will be whatever we see in the new Q60 coupe. Nissan/Infiniti said it will be TT around the 400hp mark. I'd bet my money they follow the same path with the Q coming out first and the Z following after with a shared platform. I don't see why they would deviate from that approach. I don't see a problem if the Z is tuned for more power than the Q60 coupe, but the Q60 can be tuned to the same output or greater there is still the weight and suspension that will separate them.

I would assume close to the current ZL1 being 55k starting.

chevy didn't really bump the pricing on the new vette vs the old that much.

I mean the new vette starts at 55k which is about the same or maybe even less than the 2013? I cant remember off the top of my head.


maybe I can coax some info out of a Nissan rep at zdayz.

55k for a 800+hp car isn't bad at all... although the new z06 is close to 100k now with all the bells and whistles

it wont be 800hp lol but I guess through the testing the engine is quite capable of monster numbers.

the only way I can see it having 800hp is if chevy wants to throw a competitor at the hellcat. otherwise I don't see them going to crazy with the Z06 being at 650/650 hp/tq.

maybe I could see it being 600hp area. the old ZL1 is 580 I believe so 600 would be more than previous and less than the z06.

then again the ZL1 had more than the previous Z06 soooo who knows.

i feel that by the time the Z comes out (2017?) with the rumored 400hp it won't be enough to hang with the competition.

Right now the Z is in a unique spot, though: well above the Miata & FRS/BRZ though below Vettes (where GTR challenges at least the higher end models). It's a sweet spot they're almost alone in. Base models should be a value added proposition for the formers and the high end ones might be roughly comparable to the latter. The only previous challenger was the S2000 and since Honda turned into 2000's Toyota that hasn't been an issue...

They don't have to get in a HP war though should be close enough to challenge in the end results: most practically the butt dyno and ability to get out of their own way while keeping the cost somewhat down.
