Nissan Gripz Concept - Inspired by 240Z Rally Car
 

I'm pretty sure it won't wear the Z badge...



Frankfurt Motor Show - Nissan teases crossover

My thoughts exactly, if anything it should be the replacement for the juke

gripZ

What did I just watch? A road bike and some headlights?

Yea, it's the new CAFE standard for fuel mileage. Nissan is going to produce high end bicycles to meet the standard.

GRIPZ

I'm telling you, this is all about "gripes."

Nissan is ******* with us, everyone! :hello:

No, really, I hope so. :ugh:

Yeah true look at what they did in Lemans with the GTR LMP1 they where dead last at the race and they are rejoicing! Morons!!! Lol

Is nissan really serious? Clips of a 240, and naming it gripZ???

Could this really be the end of the car we all love :shakes head:

Pretty sure the newer articles say "inspired by the 240Z" not "replacement for current Z" lol...cracks me up how many people are over reacting to this concept that nissan has not even officially said anything about as far as where it would fit in their line up.

that concept look nice i like it

A lot of folks are freaking out because it's inspired by the Z. I will put $100 down that this is not the Z successor. If it was im sure they would have had a more current Z in the promo doing sports car moves, rather than just rally cars and bicycles lol.

That's it, get Carlos on the horn!! Enough of this horesh*t!

:iagree:

I don't think Nissan is that dumb as to make this concept the next Z… but what if ?? :confused:

- If Nissan is just playing with our minds, they could be just making time before they show the new z35.

- If Nissan makes this the next Z, I think there will sufficient arguments for people to be mad at them. Because they will be killing the z heritage. Also it may well be the only affordable japanese sports car that's really worth it, all other japanese companies are boring.

Wether or not this may be the next Z it's a good bet, chances maybe the same as to flip of a coin.

Don't ever underestimate the stupidity of Nissan. I say that with a grain of salt. Why? Money. They could care less about "enthusiasts " with Z's. If it's not banking its scrapped. Don't blame them either.

^this ^ is what i had in mind, but those clips showing the 240 and all the talk around the internet about the next Z being a crossover really freaked me out :eekdance:

On the other hand, it doesnt make enough sense to change the Z in such a dramatic way.

We can speculate all we want, we will just have to wait and see :wtf2:

i think what they're going to do is put the new car on skinny-road bike tires.

cooltoy think the 370z can fit road bike rims?

is not the next Z... i read an article somewhere that said is the Juke replacement... is another crossover :shakes head: Damn you Nissan for playing with our minds using a 240z in the teaser clip.:shakes head:

nope its not the juke replacement,its a new concept,the next z.

We won't know till they "officially" announce anything.

here is the profile. hard to get a real reference point for size but ive got Juke NISMO and this thing looks bigger and longer not to mention the rear slopes almost like a coupe

When is the reveal?

This better be a really nice truck.

It would be great for 370z market....

All this speculation. Just give us the details!

Even the headlights are sort of shaped like a Z's :eekdance:

F*ck it! Ill keep driving my Z for now. Good excuse to mod the hell out of it now :stirthepot: and continue to enjoy it :driving:

:rofl2:

ok... google the name and here you go...
1- The Nissan Gripz Concept Is The Z-Inspired Crossover We Were Worried About

2- Nissan Gripz Concept - AutoWeek.nl

3- Nissan Comes to Gripz With Potential Juke Replacement, Previews Grippy Concept

I can continue all day long posting some articles... im just saying what i found on the internet under the name Nissan Gripz... now if you see the concept and is the next Z please share the pics with the community ;)

All the links have something in common.... all says that was something like a Crossover... Anyway we are going to know soon :tup:

:iagree:
:iagree:

In my personal opinion.... This concept is another damn car that Nissan are not going to make... If they are going to release something new into production... they have to start making the damn IDX Nismo... just my 2 cents...

Ok... is a damn crossover is not a Z



sorry for those how are waiting the next Z concept ;)

the overall car does look like a next gen juke with the short overhangs. I see design language in the top half that could influence a new Z though ( grill hood A pillar roofline) as the video talks about the future of the 2 seater sports car

its not the juke replacement,everybody new it was a crossover, a Z crossover
"Klein did however say that the 370Z remains a success and Nissan had “no urgency” for a replacement, although he did say that “standard evolution is not best for this kind of product”. “We won’t see a 390Z or 400Z,” he said, as it “doesn’t make a lot of sense” in the current market."

ok ok ok bro!!! for me still a crossover and not Z... even if the name have a Z... :p

:iagree:

I kinda like it....

It really looks like an evolution of the Juke. Nissan has made terrible decisions in the past, but I doubt they'll $h1t on the Z's heritage by turning the legend into a crossover.

Lmao, i knew it....all this fear mongering and over reacting for something that isnt even remotely a replacement for the Z

By Zeus's beard It IS the Z35 and all of you shall covet it!!!
