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

kay.zee

You said the Z is a niche car, why would they make another car Z car to have the same niche mediocre sales?

FPenvy

if this is their reasoning then the 370 wouldnt exist either............nor the 350.

actually i know for a fact the 350 was dead. it was saved by enthusiasts.

just stop with the stupidity here.

none of us actually know for sure if there will be or wont be another Z.

however ,i hold onto hope that they make use of that new VR engine and keep the Z alive with some upgrades and new body.

Since the 400hp tune in the Infiniti is called "Red Sport" I'm still going with my speculation of the next Z....

Entry level: 2.0T engine
Sport/Touring: 3.0TT engine 300+hp
Nismo: 3.0TT engine 400+hp

Last I read was that the 2.0T engine is only going to be made in the USA. Unless the Z is going to be manufactured here, I don't think it will receive that engine.

While I love my country, I prefer Japanese cars that are made in Japan.

NRTim

Yeah you're right:
Nissan Decherd - Nissan Smyrna Manufacturing and Assembly Plant

I do prefer a V6 only Z car but who knows at this point whether they'll offer a four banger turbo...

Magic Bus

I wouldn't lie to you guys

12,000 -15,000 sales is probably what they would need to keep it alive. Chassis wise at least. The engines are already there!!!

What do you think the Z is? It's not a sedan. It's not meant to sell for the masses. Just modest enough to keep a legacy going. 5,000 per engine per year should be good. Considering it's one v6 and two tunes. It's simple logic.

Put it like this, people like you were doubting me the camaro would be what it is today before there was a production model and just news. You can see my posts in the other vehicles section for the 2014 corvette. When we were having conversations of the mystery camaro.

I called it blow for blow...
As I have on a few cars...

How do I do this magical thing. By sorting out fact from Fiction and leaving out my own personal biases.

Just like I didn't forsee the mustang losing all that weight delving into irs for the first time. Everyone threw that svt cobra as a reason for them getting it. But they were facing a lot of new regulations along with irs. All the so called e,parts came at me sideways about my delusions.

I was told the Q60 would never get a 400HP turbo by the so called experts on this forum well over a year ago... Lol.
What the q60 has?

I'm wrong about a lot of things... But not these things.

Well Hopefully you arent wrong and they are working on something and plan to release it soon. 2019 for a Gripz type car would be a disaster.
