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

Ape Factory · 03-08-2017, 08:22 AM

Yes but the Supra will be real and the Z will be vaporware unless they've been running around with a test mule no one has seen or photographed. Kind of a tease but better than nothing, right?

Pretty sure the Q60 was only ever caught on camera after the prototype unveiled. Maybe Nissan is just that good at hiding stuff lol

Well if the Supra ends up using the carbon fiber chassis that was originally discussed with BMW then the Z will have to step it up for sure as right there will be significant weight savings.

If Toyota is going after the Z with the Supra then they have majorly FAILED.

Nissan does have 2 testing facilities most people don't know about, one in Japan and one in Arizona....

Can someone translate from the Japanese? From the cover of this week's edition of Best Car Magazine (the people who started the Tokyo Concept rumour). My Japanese is non existant, so I have no idea what this monstrosity's supposed to be, but it has a Nissan badge, I see the word 'Scoop' and I think I see FRZ in the japanese text somewhere? Help me please...

...but, back to the original question, can anyone translate the Japanese in the picture?

FPenvy · 03-10-2017, 08:40 AM

To me that seems like the proto for the Silvia not a Z

Sidenote it's not bad. Kinda has a merc gts kinda vibe

Ok ... that's a much better perspective. I'm not opposed to that direction

Concepts leave so much to imagination when you think about a finished production model. I mean I like the mirrors on that concept, but part of the reason they look really clean on it is because they literally just stick out of the door panel paint lol. The reality of having to actually mount them could easily destroy the look and often does.

The headline reads "Nissan Silvia grade FR sport born!?"

These "hints" can be gold man, good find. I remember in '07-ish, sh*t like this was leaking about the Z34 and they werent THAT far off. And it started JUST like this..."Translate this, what is that, etc?"
