More info on the next 370Z

3rdDanZ · 09-08-2014, 09:39 PM

The Z35 isn't going to base with a 211 hp engine, its lower than the 1900's; like saying its going to be diesel. Its going to have 375 & 400 hp for the NISMO. A 3.0 liter is too low, & Nissan isn't going to go lower than 3.5 liters. The line would collapse completely. Nissan will only go down to 3.6 liters & up to 3.9 liters.

It will probably have launch control, because of the Mustang 5.0, new TPMS with readouts,, faster gears (2015's), about the same weight, handling improvements, better brakes, & improved aero. The S2K & Supra aren't returning either. Toyota's model is already out, the FRS. The LFA replaced the Supra, hence FRS. Nissan already picked a fight with Porsche, it has to stay in it with the 911-991 C2, & C4. Expect a low 12's car & a 0-60 of in the high 3's.

But again, we all know the Z has a marketed 0-60 of 4.6 s; yet, I can ET 4.2-4.4 s...The Z is going to be in the high 3's, with being able to knock off some more time - no worse than 4.0 s, so yeah, 3.9 s (with a possible 3.7-3.8 s).

There's a lot of certainty coming from that crystal ball of yours. You shagging Ghosn's wife?

Huh? Can't the new Z have 3.0, 6 cylinder with a turbo? Mercedes has a 2.0, 4 cylinder turbo putting out 355 horses that push a 3,500 lb car to 60 in 4.4 seconds.

Remember, Nissan also understands turbo engines, they got a 3.8, 6 cylinder pushing 595 horses. So a smaller 3.0 turbo with taller gearing in the high gears or a 7th gear could help Nissan increase its mpg ratings city & hwy plus improve power at the same time. Also an engine like this could be used to power the Infiniti line of cars in the USA as well. Keep in mind, Infiniti is already using the 2.0, 4 clyinder turbo in Europe already.

The Mercedes engine with hybrid setup has pretty much been confirmed so I would come to terms with that. Also the rumored turbo four will most likely also have additional power from a hybrid setup so both versions will most likely best our z34's and should justify the rumored higher price tags.

Rumors aside, is the presumed reveal still happening in January or is there anything sooner on the horizon (end of Oct)?

Yeah, I wouldn't mind knowing when the reveal might happen. I think we're all starving for some concrete info on the next z.

mishuko · 09-10-2014, 06:56 PM

If MB is confirmed the engine manufacturer i'll be very disappointed... then again just means i'm going to be rebuilding this engine a lot more than I originally intended =)

1slow370 · 09-10-2014, 07:22 PM

A 2L turbo is exactly what I want in the next Z better resale for me.

Rusty · 09-10-2014, 08:31 PM

Well, Dodge dropped the price of the '15 Viper $15,000, and increased HP. So I could buy one for $80,000 next year. If the price of the next Z is over $50,000. I would take the step up to the Viper T/A.

i would assume that if any info would be presented soon then it would be at the tokyo auto show. thats jan 9-11 2015.

6spd · 09-11-2014, 09:10 AM

You'd think we'd get some kind of prototype info/pics before that though, unless Nissan is just keeping it top secret until the debut of the commercially available model. Either way, we all know prototypes are usually let downs cuz their never actually made, cough cough wrx cough cough lol

b15 · 09-11-2014, 09:55 AM

I'll bet the GTR shows up before the Z35

Ah, okay -- thanks! I knew there was something big coming up in Jan, but didn't know if there was another sooner event it might be revealed at.

I doubt it, only because it would hinder the sales of the 2015 nismo. I was thinking a little before summertime
