I dont care how fast it is. After driving a DCT I simply will not go back to a standard slushbox tranny. Im done with manual transmissions in south Florida.

I get it's just a rendering of what it might look like. But if they want to out do bmw supra, they will need a bit more of a pop.
Of course lay down the right amount of power. I'll be in my bunk!

I mean... 2023 release? I'm not gonna wait that long for a Z. Hopefully when they do drop it? I'm praying they'll give the Z a deserving transmission?
I'll just bid the waiters enjoyment and I'll be a fan from the sidelines.

A few articles came out yesterday claiming a fall 2022 reveal. Sales for 2023... I agree about its looks. Ive been struggling with that since it came out. The Q60 looks waaay better, but that transmission has to go. The 2008 g37 had the same problem. But at least back then Nissan went from 5 speed to 7 speed in 2009. So far im really digging my camaro's performance. So maybe ill get a used red sport. Do you think the GTR DCT would fit in the Q60RS? If it did.. would it have to be an AWD model?

Those articles are basically the same (sourced). I don’t believe the ‘23 date is accurate. There is a Nissan insider and a person that works for a Nissan supplier that both say production starts in 9/21.
If this were a new chassis, I could see a delay. The new car will use the existing chassis, a current engine and drivetrain so hard to see how it would be delayed. |

Since the 'rona' has kinda screwed everything up etc as far as releases of everything out there. When would one start to see 'spy' shots or 'manufacturer tests drives' of the new Z - lets say it is going to start being made in mid to late 9/21 - does that mean this car wouldn't be released or reviewers wouldn't be getting their hands on one till closer to early 2022 at the earliest?
