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

Wow..These guys say the Z is Two years away from production? That doesn't seem right. If it was two years away from production, why would they be showing it off

Wow..These guys say the Z is Two years away from production? That doesn't seem right. If it was two years away from production, why would they be showing it off in "almost" complete form now?

They're wrong. It's coming out next summer/fall as a 2022 model year.

It might just be the lens he's using, but looking at the Z head on here the square grille actually doesn't look bad to me anymore. It looks aggressive.

It Looks soo much more like the 240Z (which is awesome!), and even the rear looks better (to me).

I disliked the 370z quite a bit in the pictures and teasers, but once I saw it in person (and then lowered w/spacers) I fell in love.

No. You can't say Z without front teeth. Ask him.

I agree not sure if it's just growing on me or that picture is so much better than what Nissan showed. However I do like it more than I did initially. Still think it's a little too wide (I understand it's for cooling) and I don't think blacking out the bottom helps any. I don't think it's garbage anymore but I do see some areas of improvement to make it look smaller like having a bar across the front that is paint matched to help make it look a little smaller.

Can't wait to see it in other colors. I think it'll look amazing in black.

Definitely not considering yellow! It seems to hide all the lines on this car.

I'm thinking white will look good also. I've seen a Tesla Model 3 in white, and white really makes that car look so much better than the majority of which are grey. It shows the lines on the 3, which actually are not all that bad.

Also wondering what kind of red or blue they will be offering.

But definitely no yellow for me.

Yea, I think most of the colors will really good on the car. Personally, I loved my Brilliant Silver, but a Monterrey or Deep Blue Pearl would look really good.
Let's hope Nissan/aftermarket has a spoiler add-on or duckbill option. That would curve the rear end out nicely.

Are the seats similar or the same as the 370z on this 400z?

I'll be in my bunk!

The first thing I did when I bought my Q60 was buy the OEM lip spoiler for it. In my mind's eye the new 300Z needs a lip or duckbill option to "fill-out" the rear end.
So yeah, I'll also be on the look out for an appropriate (hopefully OEM) spoiler!

And louvers. This car is begging for some old-school louvers!

When I was looking at the up-close shots of the underbody and interior, it is very clear to me that 98% of the Proto Z is actually already at production level.

If you go back and look at the underbody shots, all of the under body parts line up and interface with the outer body panels in an exactly OEM way. Nothing is trimmed and tucked, it all looks like it does on our current Nissan vehicles. The only thing that looked not 100% was that the Q60 muffler had rear extensions welded on it, which is typically done when Q60 parts and 370Z mufflers are interchanged.

The interior looks extremely final. Despite using many current 370Z parts, there's nothing about the dash or door panels that are "proto". They look to be at a manufactured level of fit/finish. The only thing I think is "proto" was the software running the gauge cluster (which also seemed to be turned off when in USA) and the yellow/black seat trim. No way will yellow/black be the seat trim on all versions of this car.

The only thing I saw that seems "proto" on the exterior are the headlights. The "high beam" element is an aftermarket LED module. Headlights are super expensive to make, so it's likely the final headlight wasn't done yet for the proto. I will say the headlight design isn't likely to change much at all, the DRL seems final. It's just the aftermarket high beam thing is obviously not final production. I also hope Nissan adds fogs to the front fascia, that would help to break up the "proto" look of the front nose cone. We'll see.
