Short version:

Like everyone has pointed out, Nissan doesn't have money to develop a new RWD sports car platform because they're broke and people don't buy sports cars. It only works if it can be shared across multiple releases

This is why Toyota is using the Z4 platform - it's cheaper to license existing stuff than develop it on your own.

This post claims the Z35 will use the CV37 Infiniti Q60 coupe platform, which is itself based on the same FM platform that started in in the 350Z/G35. In other words . . . this is gonna be a Z34.5

a long version of what we've all heard before, with history thrown in

I bet SPL is gonna love this. All their arms and crap are going to be easily adapted to yet another car

Mildly updated FM platform + VR30DETT + new front/rear end = 400Z

Nah... Mid to late August you gonna get more info

such as whether it will come with a manual transmission . . .

IIRC there is no manual currently paired with the VR30DETT

but Z1 and CZP have made it work with the CD transmission in the Z34

nissan certainly would be able to do it

re eating words etc. I’m 75 years old. My daily driver summer and winter is my 513 RWHP 2009 370Z with a lot of money it. Very little stock. So, getting some new technology, not such a big deal for me. I had a 93 300ZX Twin Turbo. Had to sell it after moving to New Hampshire. The have winter here. I will wait until the 400Z is at the dealer but will have to be fantastic. No, the 370Z is not mid-life (top end life) crisis. Since 1983, I’ve always driven Nissan sports cars. Prior to that, was all sports cars.

i thought it was confirmed already for the manual trans on the 400z? no?

OptionZero 07-17-2020 12:55 AM

Absolutely nothing has been confirmed

Looks like the manual is gone and the price could be 3x more than the current z.

How did you figure that?

OptionZero 07-18-2020 02:33 AM

Yeah
Did u even read the article? It makes no mention of price nor transmission options

Just speculating that it MAY have electric assist in the future

I would be surprised if it doesn’t have a 6MT bc Nissan has a tendency to look to push things related to performance than interior and reliability (at least when compared to Honda and TOYO); and I think while a 6MT is becoming more and more scarce - it is still a want by a lot of enthusiasts. If it winds up being a Z34.5 - I’ll be thrilled - I don’t know how many times (myself included) where members said ‘If only they would upgrade the interior, infotainment included and offer a turbo for tuning; they can keep the current body and I’ll be thrilled - it’ll be like TAKE MY$$ ‘ .
So regardless, as long as they offer a 6MT and a turbo - I’ll be thrilled - especially if the Nismo come with the current Recaros - bc those are ‘noice’. Anyway - Hoping the end of this year and the beginning of next we will actually see what the production model will look like and if there will be a 6MT etc. Can’t wait to see reviews :)
