JDM-TOY Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hey guys came across this article about the 400Z for the 50th anniversary. Who Knows https://carbuzz.com/news/the-z-is-coming-the-z-is-coming-nissan-400z-in-the-works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3c0y Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) It's already been made by Ford controversially. Just needs a LibertyWalk kit to make it obvious! Flat front like a 240Z, recessed headlights, the taillight panel with 3 elements tail lights, it's all there. Shame it's not a 5.7L because they could have even called it a 350Z!

Administrators gav240z Posted April 14, 2020 Administrators Share Posted April 14, 2020 Good time to launch a sports car. Amongst the greatest downturn since the 1930s. I'm sure they'll sell a bunch. JDM-TOY and RestoZ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 What with the current Corvette and Mustang offerings it's hard to see that any new Zed would be competitive in the US if what Nissan have been offering Zed wise during the last 20 years is any guide. The Murricans have finally discovered handling and braking so their offerings are now beyond the drag strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted April 16, 2020 Administrators Share Posted April 16, 2020 I just wish they would go back to an inline 6 again. Not really a fan of V6 mang mang. JDM-TOY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmd Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 inline 6 are not as good for packaging. Even BMW had abandoned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 The BMW Supra has a straight six but Nissan has plenty of V8 experience not that I'm a fan of DOHC V engines, too bulky and un-necessarily heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators gav240z Posted May 7, 2020 Administrators Share Posted May 7, 2020 I can only hope it will look something like that render... Mazda teased with their RX Vision concept and then never released anything. https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/mazda-wants-rx-vision-115887/ Despite it being 1 of the most beautiful shapes I'd seen in years..

24 Dat Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I just did a scale comparison between the length of the Narava (a known length) to the Z and if there was no change in the distance between the cars in the video shoot it it looks a if the new Z might be about 4.150 meters long which almost the same as the original 240Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDM-TOY Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 So many speculations and I bet Nissan will leave fans disappointed. This is what happened when Nissan replaced the Pulsar shape with the Tiida and then realised that they needed to revive the SSS to pick up sales again. Seems like coporate management at its best..... gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somewhat agree. I am expecting to be disappointed (again), but hoping this time they might have got it right.

DattoZ Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 mannnn from the fan renders i am seeing. Some of them look cool but am mostly disappointed... -No long nose! argh! -No Deep light buckets - looks still quite 370ish Hope Nissan will surprise us!

Look at it this way, if it was absolutely perfect I'd be thinking of which 240z to sell to buy it. So if it's another generic 350z/370z type deal, I won't be tempted to sell anything.. I just wish Nissan did justice to the S30Z the same they do for GTRs, I mean every GTR has been a success and become a legend, but I feel they get soft on the Z. They should go back to the S30Z concept, have a simple reliable and powerful engine in the budget version, but create a halo version that shares the same engine as the GTR with similar peformance.

Could not agree more, it seems that the Z has been sacrificed so it does not compete with the GT-R performance wise. The basic problem seems to be that Nissan lost their ambition for the Z and settled for a generic semi performance coupe that was not going to get anyone excited, particularly performance potential wise. It almost seems like Nissan don't want to make waves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndBir Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 The rear of the yellow rendered image seems a bit more retro - 300zx maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost seems like Nissan don't want to make waves. There is just something special about a GTR. Even my Nissan Stagea feels special when I drive it. The Rb26 etc.. when I got into an R34 GTR I just felt like this is fantastic, this is truly special. Same when I drove my FD RX7. I don't get that excited with the 350/370z platform. It just feels generic. It's a bit like Seinfeld, not particularly funny but everyone can watch it and get some mild laughs. The GTR really appeals to part of your brain that appreciates exceptional engineering and a package that is well put together. I just wish they would make the Z feel special. The way my old 240z's feel special. I know it's not easy to replicate that feeling, but the modern Z's are all so toned down, and the silhouettes of the current proposed car just oozes more blandness. I really hope I'm wrong.

hmd Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 @gav240z you are comparing a $190K GTR with $50K 370Z. gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted August 5, 2020 Administrators Share Posted August 5, 2020 True, but that's why we need a halo version of a Z. Something higher priced with premium fit and finish but also performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
