so you can imagine the designers working on a successor, even if I am not going to confirm it.

Once again you can blame the average consumer for the wave of the future being electric and hybrid vehicles. I honestly don’t think it is in Nissan’s best interest to replace the 370Z or GTR models not the best move despite units sold Nissan needs to have a sports car line to remain popular in the current vehicle market today. Unless Nissan will unveil better improved models like the talked about 400Z in the future? It is good to hear that Z history is here to stay not going anywhere but like I said before the Heritage Edition Nissan 370Z is a part of the Z history and will be a collectors cars in the future. The GTR is already heavy I can’t imagine adding more weight to the GTR from batteries/equipment to go electric/hybrid not the best move. Good articles though thanks for sharing. What will Nissan unveil in the future??

You would think if they actually had any plans to keep producing these models they’d be screaming from the hilltops.

Why the big secret? You’d think they’d want to generate a little excitement.

Are they afraid it might cut into current models sales? LOL!!

560Z is where they need to go. Put something out there that realistically competes with the big 3 muscle cars. Some of those muscle cars flat out handle these days, so don't bore me with the true sports car argument. Do keep it a 2 seater though!

I can fantasize, right?
