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

370Z JT

500 HP for $50K sounds great. What Japanese import can boast that. But then I'll believe it when I see it

Edit: looks like $50K is for the 400 HP version. LOL

If I had to speculate? I'd say the 400HP Z would be about $8000 cheaper than the 400HP Q60.

I think the $60k Z will be the 500HP Z. Rightfully so...

Interestingly, when the GT-R was first released in 2008/9, it was 479hp for $69k (or £56k in Britain) - and it was considered a bargain. So, $60k (maybe £50k in Britain) would make a 500hp Z car even more of a bargain than the original GT-R.

I just hope that any new 3.0 litre Z car costs the same or less than the current 370, even if it has somewhere in the region of 400hp. Personally I think Nissan will give the new Z significantly less than 400hp (maybe 370hp?), leaving themselves with room for successive power hikes, as the years go by. Hope I'm wrong.

As nice as that would be, look at all of the "power hikes" they gave the Z34 in 8 years. Lol. I wish i could be more optimistic, but...

True, but you only have to go back to the Z33 - 350z in 2003/4, which started at 279hp and gradually crept up to 313hp, by 2007/8. I like it when Nissan do that to their engines.
