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

TN.Z

I have always hated corvettes (until the C7), but if I could I would buy a C7 no doubt.

Yeah the new corvettes look great, but I literally see 5 a day. IDK about you guys, but seeing a car too often kind of ruins the cool vibe.

babyzilla

BTW....still any word on the next gen Z?? :/

SgtGoldy

Yup, thats why I don't think I'll ever consider one. Literally one on every corner here in Orange County.

Nope the next word will be at the Tokyo Auto Show but I doubt there will be anything then either.

Since the Z kept its same drivetrain for this long, do you guys think there is a possible chance that theyll throw a stock boost in there and make it a 4banger? 4 banger boosted Z that throws down more power than NA now.. what are your opinions should
this happen?
I mean..if i can recall.. mustang ecoboost sitting on 2.3l? 4c and the audi a6 going from a 3.2 to a 2l boost?

350 hp out of a boosted 4 cyl is a lot and they don't have that engine yet. As far as I figure they won't be developing an entirely new engine for the next Z.

They will most likely use the new engines from the Q50/Q60

Z has always had 6 cylinders. If they must use a 4, they should consider bringing back the 200SX or 240SX.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifogio uses a 2.9 Twin Turbo V6 with 505HP, and 443 lbs of torque. Can't see why Nissan will not do something like that. And market it like the Alfa Romeo does with the Giulia.

I wish they would've don the 4C headlights how they did on the Quad.

From what I read. They are changing the headlights on the 4C. More like LED strip.

The alpha is a luxury sports sedan. The q50 competes with that. They wouldn't market their sports coupe to compete with a luxury sedan. Not to say I don't any to see a 500 hp TT v6 in the next z. That's exactly what I want them to do. 400 hp base Z 500 hp Nismo. Price it in the 30-45k range and they will have a solid competitor.

If they don't show us anything at the TAS its official that they don't care about the next Z they have the tech and money its right there in the Q60 project Black S, that's what the new nismo should be based on but they will find a reason not to. I guess Nissan's "priority" is chasing heavy luxury coupes with the infinity emblem on the front instead of staying true to their own.. lmao

NRGz

I guess an upgrade is an upgrade for the Z.. even if theyll have to swipswap the Qs in here. I know someone here or elsewhere will bite. I hope they make the packages different or atleast make a drivetrain upgrade on the nismo!

When i had my car serviced, they asked if i wanted to trade/UPGRADE my 09 chicane base touring for a red 16 nismo that had sat since day 1. I politely declined after the salesman tried to sell me a nismo bodykit and suspension. I told him one day, when nissan decides to keep up or i can sell my life away for a gtr ill be back.


..or theyll suprise us with a GTR setup in the Z. Jk nissan wont do that..ever..maybe

Did you ever watch the Alfa Romeo Giulia commercial? Where they have it zipping around the country side. Hearing the exhaust. That's the type of commercial Nissan needs. I didn't mean to compare it with the Giulia or any luxury sedans. Just that type of commercial that catches your eyes and ears with speed and noise.
