My guess is, they want to boast it's 60-0 braking and 0-60 are all a bit better, so the weight change will likely be relative to the power.

I guess we'll find out...

I could be totally wrong here, but really, cost savings. The more they can loot the Q parts bin the better. The big changes should be in weight, handling, braking, and maybe tune.

I expect the rest of the drive train to basically follow whatever is offered for the Q (except for the AWD, I would guess), and the Z will almost certainly have a LSD option for the midlevel and up trim.

Also, they don't want to price themselves totally out of the running vs. Mustang and Camaros.

Realistically it will also mean fewer warranty issues if every version isn't boosted, but I guess we'll see.

I'm just doing simple math. Considering Nissan isn't planning on making the Z a coupe, convertible and crossover on a whole separate chassis. Which I believe is the strongest possibility

The current Q60 is 3700lbs (rwd base)
The current Z is approx 3300lbs

The new Q is expected to be 3,500lbs
So I expect the new Z at maximum, 3,100lbs.

Not withstanding they don't use the *GRIP Z chassis which could make it as light as $2,700lbs considering the grip Z is 2,500 lbs in AWD.

Nissan is trying to REMARKET the Z. So expect surprise changes. If we'll like those changes as a whole is something entirely different.

Guy in a stock, heavy RS400 Q50 got 12.83 @ 111.48mph with 1.947 of 60. If this engine makes to the next Z if there is one it should put down some serious numbers. RS400 at the drag strip! - 2014 Infiniti Q50 Forum

Thats a PHENOMENAL time...and that trap speed. Wow. Especially for an AWD vehicle. I wonder if this a fluke or it can be consistent or maybe Nissan is being very conservative on horsepower?

At least on this rendering it looks like the rear quarter windows will be more useable

COSMO · 07-08-2016, 11:34 AM

The rear looks like an old Honda crx.. Any decent sports car has to has a nice @ss or it just doesn't flow,,

I see some FR-S/GT86 look in that trunk

2.5 4cyl turbo? you sure it's not the 2.0T currently offered in the Q50 and then the next Q60? where are you getting this info if you don't mind me asking....

NRTim · 07-08-2016, 06:50 PM

I still strongly believe Nissan is going to offer 2 engine choices for the next Z with a whole bunch of trim levels

sunkist350z · 07-08-2016, 06:50 PM

I like it just has to be cleaned up a bit on final production.
