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

Figtuna · 12-07-2018, 12:16 PM

Been watching and reading this thread for sometime. I have a 2015 Nismo tech and I love it. I know most everyone would like to see a newly designed & engineered Z, I'm curious too. It'll be a wait & see proposition but the bottom-line is that Nissan HASN'T released any official announcement concerning the Z...screw the the so-called "experts" that claim to have the insider knowledge and have poo-pooed the future of the Z. Speculation & interpretation are mind killers. So I'll leave it at that! If I was a Supra fan ....I'd be pissed! In the Jan 2019 edition of Automobile magazine they DROVE the new Supra and reports that the turbocharged 3.0L BMW in-line 6 will make between 360-380hp with a curb weight just under 3,300lbs! Oh sure...it'll have fancy electronics and gizmos to sway us, but after reading the nay-sayers on this thread complaining that the new future Z might make only 400 to 475hp, I can only wonder what the Supra guys are saying, mostly colorful metaphors. My subjective thoughts tell me that inexpensive after-market parts can bump the HP upto similar numbers. No word yet on the cost but history is replete with the Super being over-priced. Who knows, maybe the reason Nisan hasn't said anything about the future of the Z is because they're waiting for the final rendition of the Supra to hit the market to see where Toyota set the bar? We'll just have to wait & see. In the meantime I'm enjoying my Nismo and thankful for a rich rewarding sport cars. Happy trails & happy Holidays

Saw these on Insta today. Wouldn’t be surprised if we get something similar to these images. Hope the front end looks better.......I’m not a fan of the new Supra design and this looks busy as well. Also too much “Nissan Corporate” face.

What a boring and unimaginative rendering.

It'll be nothing like that.

Hey, that's my line.

It looks too much like a 350z and I hated those.

That looks more like a concept car picture. It will be interesting to see what the new Z35 will really look like. Hopefully Nissan will produce the new Z35 if not word is they will discontinue the Z all together since unfortunately Nissan is not putting their energy towards sport cars but more the wave of the future Nissan thinks they can sell more units this way which is not entirely true. Fortunately though we know Nissan will continue producing the GTR.

I have seen the future and that's not it.

335 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque from a BMW-sourced, twin-scroll turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six.

claimed curb weight of 3,397 pounds.

its short initial gear ratios and a launch-control feature, Toyota says the Supra will clock a zero-to-60-mph time of 4.1 seconds on its way to a top speed of 155 mph.

The base 3.0 model will start at $50,920, with the 3.0 Premium starting at $54,920. Launch editions come in at $56,180. The primary option package is the Driver Assist bundle for $1,195, and base 3.0 models can get the upgraded navigation and stereo for $2,460.
