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

Id LOVE for you to be correct but that magical sub 3k weight with two snails up front...sounds exotic to me. But you're right, they probably have the tooling in place. Stranger things have happened.

metal is cheap.

it's the technologies, dampeners, pipings, suspension, coupe premium etc that adds onto it.

i can see the next Z debut around 35k for the entry up to into the 50's for a nismo.

Some meaty looking tires too....thats promising.

the new Q = meh to me.

sure the engine may be 'exciting' but the design didn't wow me as much as the RC-350 or even the miata.

FPenvy

front grille got toned down a bit which was bound to happen. the proto front end is amazing but would never go into production that way sadly.

i'm disappointed with how the really downsized and changed the gills/vents on the front fenders. the proto versions were perfect. now.....kinda weird and without seeing in person not liking them.

Except that attractive sheetmetal on the rc-350 came at a cost of a 4000lb curb weight

In a way it kinda reminds me of the new accord coupe, but more refined....personally i think it's a good looking car just from these few pictures

FPenvy

you're now the 3rd person to say that it reminds you of a new accord lol



that's not good for the Q60 if it's reminding Nissan guys of a Honda.

not referring to weight just aesthetics.

this car is probably going to be up in the high 3's as well most likely. wouldn't be surprised with a 3800 figure
