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

littlejuanito · 01-27-2017, 03:52 PM

It's gonna be 400HP... I'm guessing it will be called the 400Z

Nissan will show a Z concept at this year's Tokyo auto show - Autoblog

At last, we have information that seems to be informed. I wouldn't necessarily believe all of it and there is clearly information missing (eg., will it be RWD and will there be a manual option and has the rumoured puny 4-cylinder option gone?), but in less than 40 weeks there will be an unveiling of of the 370's successor. Wow!

...and please don't believe the 'artist's impression' rendering from BestCar magazine. Like all pre-concept attempts, it's a horrible mish-mash of bits from here, there and everywhere. Be patient, wait & see

They spoke on that a year or two ago saying they may just switch it to Z and do away with the numbering.

Also FYI the number prior to the Z in the name was based on displacement not horsepower so technically it would revert back to being a 300Z.

Ding ding ding you are correct!! And I'm good with them just going with Z or z34, z35 and so on.

Yup but I'd happily buy a 400Z with a small high reving V8

Just imagine if that vk swap ever became a reality for a decent price.

Im taking a wait and see approach to these news.

Im wondering if after 30yrs of owning Z's it maybe time to move on.

There have been a couple of mentions of the stalk like "mirrors" on the concept.

Those are stalks to hold cameras that we can view on our screen. Our Civic Si has one on the right (under a conventional mirror). It's really great, but sorta hard to use at night, lots of glare.

Have seen this on several concept cars.

Where'd you see the info about an IPL version of the Q60? That may keep me out of an RS3 when it hits U.S. shores if it truly has 450hp, firmer shocks, LSD and hopefully a better steering rack. Link appreciated!

Does the Q60 Red Sport 400 count? idk

Ape Factory · 01-27-2017, 11:11 PM

It doesn't. The RS has 400hp, relatively soft suspension, ZERO steering feel, zero exhaust noise and no LSD. I test drove one and it was a pretty meh moment. The engine was nice but it wasn't drool inducing. The car just had zero edge/excitement to it.
