Default New Z34 350z?

Was just reading the latest Japanese car magazine (more like a gossip mag), and on the front page was the supposedly next version of the 350z.

This one has a VQ 3.7 litre engine and 340ps.

Design wise, it looks very very good.

I couldn't find an equivalent picture of it but they did call it the Z34 350z.

Anyone else know about it?

Default can you scan it and post it here?

I am thinking about waiting to get a ultra yellow track or wait for the next generation. Would love to see this picture.

if it's a 3.7 litre, they would probably call it a 370z. wouldn't they?

Yeap! that's the one.

It still had the 350z badge on the back so I'm not sure what's up with the naming thing.

I have to say it does look very good especially the back which sports 4 exhaust pipes. Still had the same rear lights, except slimmer and more sporty.

MC350z, any more shots of it? Seriously if it looks like that then I'm getting this one.

BTW, in another mag, there were pictures of the next NSX.

They said that Honda was trying to make it to look like the Carrera GT and Garrado, but to me it looks like the Odessey at the front and nothing special at the back. I think Honda is playing the waiting game, letting Nissan and Toyota roll the ball first before coming up with the new NSX.

I picked up the magazine that you scanned (I didn't buy it just browsed through).

The NSX front looked like the Honda Odessey, a little tamer than the last picture you posted.

Default if this is the 2006 350z I will wait

I like the front much better than the present model. the hood looks nice and defined. But have to wait till I see it in real life.
just getting so desperate .... my Jetta just doesn't get it anymore

I love Prototypes and Concept Cars.. Its nice to dream..

I would say the Z will have to Make 400bhp by 2009 to keep up with the competition.. Im mean if the new Eclipse is only 10bhp shy of the Z for 5-10K less... That is a problem for Nissan.

I agree that it's gonna need more HP, but I would say that just HP numbers don't really explain the difference between the Z and the Eclipse. As we all probably know, the Z will beat the Eclipse in every way.

So is that pic somewhat a resemblance of a future Honda/Acura offering?

Actually December 2005 is the end of NSX production. They just announced it a couple days ago...
