Next Nissan Z Scooped

I like the look of that concept, tone down and smooth out the character lines on the side, fix the nose so it has a better grill and doesn't look so goofy, then they really have something there.

No 4 bangers though. Just no.

I don't care how they do it but all I need is this.

1. Car is lighter than it is now (by a good amount, not like 50 lbs)
2. Car is faster than it is now.
2a. slight power bump via DI with a lot of weight reduction (still NA v6 so those who want big power can still after market turbo it)
2b. Close or lower power with big weight reduction ie smaller turbo engine like in this article IF it is relatively easily and inexpensively tuneable to more hp than what we currently get with full bolt-ons
4. It needs to look at least as good as it does now.
5. Obviously resolve fuel starve problems, etc.

Bottom line, make it a better car. I don't care what's under the hood as long as it's a better with better tunability. Having a v6 as an otption is actually a great idea for those who need the displacement for max power with an after market turbo set up. The turbo 4 would be great for everyone else who are just doing bolt-ons with their current Zs as long as it can get us a lot more than we currently can NA.

Hate to tell you this. But that's an old picture of a GT-R with the V6. Seen it about 2 years ago.

Believe it was on Playstation too.

I think that's the car they unveiled last week or the week before alongside the new Lexus and Acura NSX.

I like where the concept is going. It's still a bit raw and needs refinement, but I like the direction towards a futuristic version of the 240Z. I especially like the roof line and more slender body. They need to retain the wide rear end though. That's the best angle of the 370Z. What I don't like are all the crazy lines and angles on the panels. It doesn't need it and I doubt most of it will make it to the production car. It reminds me of the GT-86 Concepts. Also, this doesn't look like a Nissan designer created it. More like a very creative artist. I wouldn't put too much thought into it, including all the hate. It's one of the better renderings we've seen so far.

LiquidCrewZ · 08-26-2013, 12:06 PM

Next Z with a 4 cylinder, smaller, and looks riced out. Pass

edk370 · 08-26-2013, 01:51 PM

Disappointed. The styling sucks. The original S30 was meant to be the "one and only." Nissan is wimping it down: 4 banger turbo? How about a 6 cyl hybrid instead?

...I'm gonna buy a used 40th anniversary down the road. Or maybe a clean z32 tt or FD3S with a LS7 swapped.

Always funny reading those crazy comments by people.

As long as it has a distinct exhaust note and more horse than the current Z, I'm all for it.
