[OFFICIAL] Discussion for the next new Nissan 400Z Z35?

NecioVato

Since the 'rona' has kinda screwed everything up etc as far as releases of everything out there. When would one start to see 'spy' shots or 'manufacturer tests drives' of the new Z - lets say it is going to start being made in mid to late 9/21 - does that mean this car wouldn't be released or reviewers wouldn't be getting their hands on one till closer to early 2022 at the earliest?

I’d bet we see the car officially next year (maybe early next year) and car available early ‘22.

The way news was moving. It looked like this year. But since its not. When you start seeing camo Z's on track... it should be 6 months later production begins. If history serves correct.

Very exciting news.

Unfortunate that it says "proto". I thought we were told the teaser video was the production car. Ah well, better to have something than nothing.

Just read the news online. So that 2023 release was to fux with us. Thats dumb. People coulda went to the dealer n bought another car on the strength of that article?

Im happy... im excited!! I hope Nissan dont eff it up. I got a dealer hookup for employee discount so it just might be right next to my camaro? I hope it will offer what was missing in the Z34.

Ie not front heavy. Reasonable technology. It doesnt have to he the greatest. But not empty like the z34. Just enough to hold its weight for the next dozen years.

Seriously though. The Z has the supra tearing up torque meters. The camaro is defying physics, the mustang can hang on the track now and Golf R's are making bad business of Z34's.
I hear the auto will be this cars weak spot. Im hoping this is one of NISSANS famous secret hold outs.
Remember, the 7 speed came outta left. We had no news till the g37 pre-production was in the auto shows.
The Q60 had the best v6 engine in the price range. I bought a camaro, honestly, cuz the transmission was that bad. That and $54,000 felt expensive for what it was. $44,000 camaro had more going for it. Faster, more tech, more torque. The transmission was incredible. Manual option, though I didnt go that route.

Now this beast of an engine is going in the right car. Hoping its 100lbs lighter? Same weight as the z34 at worst. Hope the engine bay has been designed not to be front heavy in the corners. I never fully tuned out the slop but overcame it with driving skill.
Hoping the transmission gets some modernized tricks. And we KNOW about them. Ya man found DS on our Z transmission days ago. Shyts been around over a decade. Lol better late than never though right.

Im pumped. But mainly. I hope these concepts are hiding some curves we cant see? Or like the GTR. Hope it looks a lot better in person. The GTR looks like hell in magazines n like heaven in person.
