Imo it's just of a fail. Especially with all the fake *** vents.
If the new Z is expensive, than nissan wont make any Z cars. Especially with their financial issues.
Nissan needs to make cheaper trim levels of the new Z

Apart from the fake vents, I actually like the new Supra a lot and I think it does a lot of things right. I actually thought one might replace the Z one day; however the lack of Manual made that otherwise. I don’t think it’s fast enough to warrant an auto trans only... especially since it’s not a DCT.

It would of been better if they kept more of the concept look.
At least they should of kept the wheelbase same as the mkiv.
For me I'm not a fan of the look. Now the concept design is much nicer.
Supposedly they went with the zf tranny. I guess it can handle more power. But it seems its cheaper for them to go with the zf. Since a lot of other manufacturers are using the same tranny.

Let's hope the design of the Z will be better than the supra. But I think, if anything, they will fall short if they use the Nissan's auto transmission.

Is there any other Nissan using the 3.7 motor in the Z? If not, replacing it with the 3.0TT could be seen as a cost cutting, streamlining measure. Grasping for straws I know.

Octane · 03-04-2020, 08:07 AM

they're all about cutting cost right now, should know more in may when they release their updated models.

Yep. Another clue pointing to something happening with the Z.

per jalopnik:

Another interesting nugget in Nissan’s Canadian trademark filing is a reference to the logo being used with “Electrically-assisted land vehicles...”

I believe the electric assist is in reference to the new Nissan logo, not the new Z logo.

KCZ · 03-20-2020, 05:47 PM

That's not a new Z logo at all. It's the old Z logo, used on the 240-260-280's. It seems to fit with the report that the next redesign will take some cues from the 240Z's.

Anybody read Forbes? He didn't seem to state his source [sigh], but I'll post the article anyway:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/peterly.../#60a209b2af41

So if Nissan does to the 370Z like they did with the Frontier with an engine replacement, it might be slightly promising. Throw in an interior refresh, then we're talking. If the brand new model is going to be some sort of hybrid and drops the manual transmission I plan to just get the last remaining model before it goes completely EOL.

Time to put some money in the bank.

When he said this in the article. The whole thing became bullchit.

"An updated Nismo-spec Z, developed by Nissan’s in-house racing and customizing arm, which was added to the lineup in 2017, employed a tweaked V6 generating 350hp."

tvfreakazoid · 03-27-2020, 06:22 AM

Well with all the fearmongering going I wouldn't expect a new Z and gtr for a while.

I'll be in my bunk!

Old news. He states his source is Japan’s Best Car Magazine. The magazine says it’s sources are Nissan insiders. I posted a picture from the article several weeks ago.

The 2021 Z will have the engine from the Infiniti Q60 Red Sport- 3.0L V6 twin turbo, probably tuned so it would have a bit more than the Q60 Red Sport's 400hp. Hopefully a manual would be available. It wouldn't have the new 3.8L V6 non-turbo engine that the Frontier is getting which was designed for trucks.
