Nissan Z

Nissan has been keeping its new rear-wheel drive sports car a secret lately, although fans can't wait to learn more about the upcoming Japanese racing car.

It is clear, however, that many are doing everything to come up with some clues regarding the development of the car which will be based on the interesting Nissan Z Proto concept. Based on what just stated by a member of the 400Z Club forum it seems that the new model will only be called "Z" all over the world, except for Japan where it will be marketed as "Fairlady Z".

In addition to this we are told that the Nissan Z should have a starting price of 34,995 dollars (29,700 euros), so it would be much cheaper than the Toyota GR Supra (42,990 dollars) and the BMW Z4 sDrive30i (49,700 dollars) and at the at the same time much more powerful. The two models just mentioned have a good 2.0-liter 258 horsepower, but it seems that the successor of the 370Z can unload an output of about 400 horsepower on the asphalt , thus bypassing the very expensive 387 Supra and BMW Z4 M40i. horsepower, which cost $ 50,990 and $ 63,700 respectively, and featured a 3.0-liter straight-six.

If we were to believe the source we would also have to endorse the introduction of the Infiniti Q60 Red Sport's VR30DDTT engine: it is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 capable of delivering 475 Nm of torque. Regarding weight, the Nissan Z it could be around 1,475 kilograms dry, but later it would be followed by the Nismo variant internally defined as "baby GT-R".

We are therefore talking about really full-bodied rumors, but for our part we want to underline the non-official nature of every detail shared so far. On the other hand, discussions on the shade of the paint are much more likely. The 400Z Club member reiterates that the machine will offer the same colors as the 370Z by adding a light yellow and some shades of orange , but until the Japanese brand makes everything official, we can only wait.

In the meantime we want to close by referring you to the definitive look of the Nissan Ariya: here is the electric SUV with 400 kilometers of autonomy and good performance.
