It not and never was 400z. That was an internet rumor from 6 years ago that all the click bait website have used since

Ah yes, I remember the "380Z" and "390Z" articles now that I am thinking about it....

The Z35 will still be a "Fairlady Z" in Japan, all other markets the Z35 will be called "Nissan Z"

MSRP: $34,995 (this is for the base with 0 options)
There will be 2 packages
- Base: 0 options.
- Type S: Brembos, thicker sways, coolers, other stuff.
- Type T: Leather, Power Seats, Heated and Cooled, Auto cruise, blind spot, etc
- Type ST: Both S and T Packages
- Each package will be roughly 5k each, ST will set you back 10k

Base gets Akebonos, Sport or Nismo get the Brembos - No more floating calipers.

All cars get...
- The 400hp Flavor of VR30DDTT
- The Digital Dash
- Android Auto / Car Play
- Rear Duckbill

Dry Weight = 3,252lbs

The Auto we're seeing on the Gunmetal and Silver cars is the Mercedes-Benz 9G-Tronic, no more 7 speed.
- Yes, it's still a torque converter Auto
- No, it's not as nice as the ZF8 (based on what I can find online, I've never driven anything with this transmission personally)
- It's better than the Jatco 7spd we all know now
- This transmission is already in the Titan and it will soon be in every Nissan / Infiniti RWD vehicle (including the Qs)

Yes, this car really is a 370Z with a Body Kit and a VR30 Swap and the chassis was massaged.......heavily (more aluminum, more bracing, carbon fiber)
- "370Z Sport" is the new "Base" (thicker sways, wider forged wheels, etc)
- "370Z Nismo" is the new "Sport" (even wider wheels, thicker sways, bracing)
- There is a Nismo version coming....it won't just be a body kit, exhaust, tune and some badges this time

The 6 spd manual is a carryover from the 370Z

There are 3 USDM Production cars in the US for a Dealer's Meeting and for journalist afterwards to review.

White 2 Tone: Stick, Sport, no pics have leaked (yet)
Silver 2 Tone: Auto, Touring
Gunmetal: Auto, Base

There is not a roadster in the cards right now, sorry folks.
Nissan is gunning for the Supra and the Mustang but it's main target is the Supra - make no mistake.
I don't have Nismo Info other than "Brembos" and "Baby GT-R"

Can you fix the link?
EDIT:nvm found it, was posted on the 400z forums

If that's production representative; I'm totally in for a test drive. The new Z may end up saving me $$$ the same way the 370Z did when it was going up against a used P-Car...

andytn3591 · 03-26-2021, 02:28 AM

I would love to see the Sport version with the Brembos. It looks way better with the 6 pistons. Also I don’t want all black wheels.

The big question for me is that if they would fix the CSC problem on the Manual trans because it seems like they use the same trans of the 370z. How good is the new 9 speed AT?

I just sold my 370z recently and was looking at the C63 AMG. If the new Z is around $43k for the sport version, or $50k for the Nismo, I’ll definitely get one.

1/4atatime · 03-26-2021, 09:45 AM

Wow! 35k plus a nice upgrade packed for $5k wow wow wow! I was not expecting that cheap honestly. If this is true Nissan knocked it out if the park. I wont be picking up one straight away because I just got my 370z but in a year or two yeah I definitely can see myself getting one for that price. Idk might just add a turbo to my car. But I am very excited about the prices if the leaks are true it's going to be a home run! Good job Nissan! I'm happy that this looks like it might just be successful and keep Nissan afloat.

i would take all that info with a massive grain of salt.

nissan hasn't come out with any actual info since the proto reveal last September.

they have not made 1 update since then, they have not given an actual release window, they haven't given any specs, etc...

they havent even actually confirmed that the VR30 (which we all know it has) will be the powerplant.

in my opinion nissan is failing majorly with this car. if they want it to sell they should be pushing updates and marketing to drive up sales. otherwise, this car will flop aside from the small group of Z people like us that will buy one.

Which is why I put if true in my comment. Honestly though sometimes leaks do more to drive hype than a straight press release. What will give you more articles and clicks no info or leaks for a year and then one press conference with everything. Or multiple small leaks over the course of a year gauging people's reaction, building hype, and getting free press? C'mon leaving the hood up on the car for people to see wasn't a mistake it was a calculated move. Not having the car shipped fully wrapped up was also a calculated move they wouldn't be dumb enough to ship it in a open shipping container with zero protection. Look at how the C8 was shipped it was wrapped fully in plastic that they could tell if it was tampered with.

I feel a $35k new car price will drive my 370Z Nismo price waaaay down. Could sell my car now for around $30k+. $5k more for a new car .... I have a feeling my car will drop to around $27’ish K.

1/4atatime · 04-01-2021, 05:01 PM

Man Nissan is really hurting they only sold 28 370z vehicles this year. I hope they can hold on long enough to make it to the launch. Honestly if they keep bleeding cash and can't get the car released ASAP we could see nothing more than a proto Z and the end of Nissan.

Nah, they won't end until they release the Z. They've put enough hype and the $$ they have into the Z to cancel the launch. With the pictures of the Silver and Dark Grey Z's surfacing, its safe to assume those are the pre-production spec vehicles slated for the LA Nissan design center and then TN before getting into hands of the journalists. Its a good thing Nissan's top seller is the Rogue, that'll keep Nissan afloat along with their new Pathfinder for the time being until the new Z is released.

This is a trash article peddling misinformation. They sold only 28 370Zs in 2021 because there were probably only 28 new 370Zs left to sell as of Jan 1st this year.

In my last convo with a dealer manager, the final 2020 370Z rolled off the production line way back in June of 2020 (at least for North America). The remaining 2020 Z's sold out quickly this year and there are virtually none left nationwide in the US/Canada.
