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

triso07 · 09-09-2015, 08:58 AM

How to sell a new Z:

3100lbs or lighter
375hp base v6
420hp turbo nismo variant
Slightly better interior materials
Clean body lines (NOT that stupid new V grille they're adopting to every model in their lineup). Zs and GTRs are special. They don't need your dumb corporate design language face.

And a 4 banger to compete with sub 20k class

Get over it guys. The next Z is a crossover. No more sports car.

Nah, the GT-R is their flagship with the techno crap. So it stays as is with up-dates. The Z is a different story. It doesn't sell well. So they got to do something with it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but how many 3100 lb car with 375-420 hp are out there with a price tag between 30-45k? Let's be real and not ask Nissan to do the impossible.

I think every Z owner would trade theirs in for this new model if it is produce but to get that kind of performance we have to dig deeper into our pockets and pay more!

They're at 350hp right now with a Nismo variant. A jump to 375hp is not an outrageous ask. As for the weight savings. The base 370z is at what 3250? Again, with a redesigned body and focus on keeping weight low it doesn't seem unreasonable to hit that target.

Nissan has to step up their performance game, but they don't have to try and compete with America's HP levels. They just need to make the Z a little faster and a little lighter with a killer design and people will buy it.
