Exactly what I was hoping for and expecting to be honest. They are simply updating the Z34 chassis. Nissan is not going to spend truckloads of money on developing an all-new chassis when they are struggling now. Throw in the Q60 Red Sport motor with 400hp with a manual trans, update the interior and tech, and bingo! I love how it is clean and doesn't look like it was designed by a 12-year old like the Supra. The rear taillights are supposedly inspired by the 300ZX. Bravo! (I'm a former 300ZX owner and current 370Z owner). Will be made in Japan and likely less expensive than the BMW Supra.

I don't expect that it will be less expensive than the BMW Supra. I expect it to be probably around that same price point of $50-60K

Looks the new Aston Martin Vantage which is good thing. Can't wait

Wow! Who would have thought that in such uncertain times it would be Nissan to come out with a beacon like this. I am too excited to see the remarkable homage that is being paid to the S30 even with only a view of the silhouette. Great news today, Gents!

I like it!!

I love they brought back the hood bump ala the 07-08 vq35hr, I loved that on my 07 solar orange.

The Nismo version will look like a champ if they do a body kit and rear spoiler/Wing. I hope they fix it to fit the taller guys with no issues like the original S30.

could be just the shadow but the sexy curves are gone

In order to do that, they'd need to re-work the chassis so the floor pan sits lower. The roofline does NOT look any different and the rear sloping hatch creates issues for the seating position

We should hope for parts compatibility

I'm not selling my Z34 to buy a new Z34.5 from a dealer and eating that depreciation

i would buy the engine and transmission ESPECIALLY IF THEY MADE A CARB LEGAL SWAP KIT

but stuff like a better transmission, brakes, suspension bits, if it all bolted up the way R32/33/34, Z32 and S-chassis stuff basically all was cross compatible for a decade . . . that'd be cool

We are all excited, as the new threads continue to post, all good. Thanks Nissan I hope the z35 is worth the wait.

Yes, it looks blockier but perhaps a little more masculine. Love how it is 1000 times cleaner and more mature than the Supra. The Supra looks like it was designed by a 12-year old kid. Love that there is no horrible duckbill spoiler. If the tail lights are truly inspired from the 300ZX tail lights, it should be terrific!

I agree, the z32 one of best sports cars design still timeless to this day.
