The rear end is going to be straight up and down and not sloped like this rendering.

That’s not it. Parts are correct but it’s been stylized. Can’t see them putting fake (and ugly) vents on a car they made so classic looking. Look at the actual pictures. There are some that have been lighten enough to see pretty clearly.

I'm just glad there's gonna be a M/T

I need to brush up on my kanji, but it looks like it says it's got a 7 speed automatic and 7 speed manual. errr.... scratch that, this is the best I could translate:

Quote:

toransumiishyun[transmission] ha[is] 7 (something, probably speed) AT ni[to] karo(?) e MT mo[also] (something something)

so all i got is "transmission is 7 speed AT ??? MT and ??"

could someone help me out? hahaha

Eww looks like a mustang in the back no thx

Surprised they aren't giving it the new 9 speed. The teaser image didn't appear to have those vents on the side, but it was shadowed. Looks like they took the 300ZX back and modernized it.

I don’t even care.....I won’t even acknowledge the existence of the concept until I see a running prototype. I pay no attention to the sketches, all blah until something concrete is happening.

OptionZero · 06-11-2020, 10:16 PM

Thankfully I just want to steal the drivetrain

Honestly I don't really like it. Some of the renderings look ok but some look so terrible like the purple and silver in the Japanese magazine. Good gosh that thing looks horrible.

tvfreakazoid · 06-12-2020, 01:44 AM

It looks dinky. Like a little larger than a miata lol

I'll be in my bunk!

Here's a brightened version of a screencapture from the nissan video:

The shape looks great. I do see some similarities between that purple concept from the Japanese magazine and this image. We'll see. Not a big fan of the detail work on that purple concept.

This lightened image makes it look even more like a revised 370. As in same underneath, but with the 400 hp turbo and maybe a different trans. The proportions look the same. Actually, the windshield and side windows look nearly IDENTICAL to the 370. This would make sense from a cost cutting perspective. Nissan is hurting, and 370Z sales sure didn't help. Sales wise the car has basically been a turd. Dealers basically gave them away to sell them. So keeping the dream alive at minimal cost makes sense. But I'm sorry, my 370 looks better than this teaser car.

FWIW, the rear of that magazine scan does not match the silhouette

Nissan, unfortunately, probably won't put a DCT in the standard Z. I could see it in a Nismo though.

Standard automatics are no where near as good as DCTs. No matter what they say. Only the ZF is close, but even that depends largely on programming skills, and even then DCTs are still much better under serious manual performance conditions.
