I think it launched there in 2010 or so, inflation adjusted we are talking maybe about +$5k? If they aren't close to the Miata/BRZ/Mustang/Camaro price, they might struggle. Especially in 2020+.
There was a report a few months back that this is exactly what they were trying to channel.That front! it giving me 240z vibes
Pretty bad when cheap i4 Mustangs are on par with these at half the price.
A beautiful car ruined by restomod nonsense.That front! it giving me 240z vibes
I think the current GT-R is at the end of its cycle.
Nissan and Italdesign Reveal $1m GT-R 50 Production Model
Back in June 2018, Nissan and Italdesign came up with a very special birthday gift to themselves. Jointly celebrating 50 years of the Italian design house and the GT-R name, the two brands collaborated on a one-off vehicle: the Nissan GT-R50. After presenting the car at the 2018 Goodwood Festival

They will probably reveal a completely new one after the special edition.

Ideally it'll be something that both performs and is priced comparably to the Ford Mustang. The Toyota Supra was always holy shit expensive whereas the Z cars were originally meant for the average person. The 300ZX got away from that and was a pretty big failure. The 350z was a return to form but then the upgraded 370z got really fucking expensive and people quit buying them (especially in light of continuing to get trounced in the HP wars by refusing to update).
If they wanted to chase all the price segments then they should just rebadge some as Infiniti and call it a day because hardly anybody will want to buy a $50k fully loaded Nissan Z car.
i loved the stylings of the 80s and early 90s 300z. The 350/370 never grabbed me in the same way but this looks promising.
Siick. I remember reading somewhere that they want to make it <40K to have a good chance at competing. If they manage that, it's going to be hard to choose between the next 86 and Z for me.
I hope this is what we really want. A true japanese sports car with stick shift option. Right now we have the 86, Miata, and the Supra, plus the Supra is only half japanese. but they all have some massive shortcomings. Right now I would take the Type-R over any of those. And the Supra is only half japanese.
Looks like a 240z! Awesome. It's very likely gonna has the same 400 horsepower twin turbo engine in the Q60.
The two things I care about most, please weigh less than 3000lbs, and of course include a manual transmission.
How much do you all think it'll cost? $40k?

A starting price under $40k would be pretty good. Cheaper than the Supra, but it would be up against the V8 mustang and camaro. It would need something to differentiate it, as it might lose in performance, unless it can keep its weight down.
That's what I'm saying. Would be god tier if it weighed 2800lbs. Hopefully they keep it under 3000lbs.
The Infiniti Q60 Red Sport 400 that the powertrain is rumored to come out of is a 4000lb chonker and it still gets to 60MPH in 4.5 seconds and quarter-mile in 13.3. I'd imagine on a Z car diet that would put it right with the V8 pony cars.
Yeah they really fucked that one up. Its ugly as sin and I might as well stick with my bmw at that price.
Well, if its anything like the 350z and g35, they'll be able to save a few hundred pounds by making it shorter. Though even if you take 300lbs out of the 3882 of the Q60, its still heavy.
Yeah, the same drivetrain with less weight would work well. Just depends on how much they can lighten it while also keeping it affordable.
I don't imagine they're gonna do a shitty ass interior like the 350z again, but I'd be happy with that if it means they put more funds into a lighter car. The 86 doesn't have the nicest materials in its interior and it's still nice enough.
Hell, I'd even be okay with the engine setup that's currently in the Nismo 370z if it meant the car weighed close to 2800lbs. Not to mention I prefer naturally aspirated over turbos.

Talk about a fucking upgrade.
You, as a kid, must've been fucking ecstatic!
The current 370z already weighs 3200lbs. Hopefully it matches that but I can see it going up to 3400. Should drive better than those two even if it's down on power. It's turbo anyways so a tune will surely put it over what the 5.0 and camaro can do.
my god that thing is gorgeous.That front! it giving me 240z vibes
Even at 40k it'll undercut the 4cyl supra. Next 86 is rumored to come out next summer and that'll be around the 30k-35k mark and down on power when compared to the next Z. So if it manages a price tag under 40k it's going to be damn good. Interiors on the newer sentras and altimas is pretty good so let's see how the Z fares.
I'll be wrapping those chrome strips....but yowza I love it. I own a 240z that is almost restored....been 11 years since I owned it.
Def looks to be an S30 and/or S130 inspired car.
Im all in for that, I was hoping they were going back to swooping longer hoods but im guessing overall its driving position and dimensions will be very very similar to the Z34.
Coming with a Twin Turbo V6 is a nice added bonus.
The tail lights really make me think of the ugly ducking.
P.S I hate that the ugly ducking never got any love.
I inherited a very very clean one from my dad but finding parts for it is an absolute bitch.
Seriously contemplating taking the L28 out and replacing it with an RB something.
Suspension...¡Ay, caramba!
