OFFICIAL NEW Z REVEALED *LEAKED*



NOTICE they changed the color of the oval shapes in the grille to body color. Really helps get rid of that rectangle shape. Also added a small spoiler on the hatch. Take my money NOW!!!

EDIT* AUTOMATIC shifter in the interior pictures on this one. Also gun metal wheels and the brakes look like the 4 piston Akebonos from the current 370Z.

EDIT2* After looking over more carefully you can see sensors in the front and rear bumpers as well as a big square detection sensor in the grill for driver assistance. Red side reflector on the rear and amber reflector on the side of the headlights. The carbon fiber appears to be replaced with regular black plastic trim as well.

Ok now the Z looks fire in this color. The spoiler on the rear really ties it together. However honest opinion I don't think I'd buy one. The reason is simple I can almost guarantee I will be able to make one on my existing 370z much cheaper than I can buy one. The chassis is the same basically so if I wanted I should be able to take the body panels off the 400z and put them on the 370z (or someone will make a body kit) I can already drop a vr30 in the 370z for cheap (those motors are not expensive) and I enjoy the physical guages more than the digital ones in the interior. Add in the cost increase we will see and I bet I could do it a good bit cheaper than buying a new one and selling my old one.

Edit: So taking the Maxima price increase it got for 2009 to 2021 model it's a 7k increase for the base model. I expect the same or more for the Z which in my opinion isn't going to fly with consumers.

"Leaks" are saying that the car will start under $40k. Under $40k for a sports car with a likely 400hp and updated tech is a damn good deal. I can't imagine anyone complaining about that absolute bargain compared to the Supra.

viiv

Under 40k means $39,998.

I know I've read tons of comments on other sites of people saying they won't spend 40k+ on a low-mid trim level Nissan. I don't think it's so much the price to performance that's the problem but rather peoples perceptions of spending 40k on a Nissan. Nissan really damaged they reputation when they had issues with their transmission, started basically signing payment plans to anyone who walked through the door, and started trying to cheap out on their cars. I know lots of people that used to buy Nissan cars but won't touch them with a 10ft poll anymore everyone says they felt cheap to them. I really like my 370Z but lets be real here the 370z didn't sell that many especially compared to the 350z. And not even enough to have Nissan consider refreshing it for a decade. Those sales numbers for the 370z especially the last few years are no where near enough to make Nissan consider selling another one if this one sells the same. And no one can say sports cars can't sell in large amount just look at the C8 it's selling faster than any other car in the lot. Heck the Supra which everyone claims doesn't sell well outsold the 370z 3:1

LMAO- Swapping 400Z body panels onto a 370Z would be super costly and there will certainly be enough differences in ways panels attach to the chassis that it would be a major PITA.

It wouldn't be any worse than S13/S14/S15, I swear those cars are adult Lego sets lol

I can see an easy Z35 front swap or the Z35 Sideskirts on a Z34 but......that's about it.
