Looks pretty good to me. Funny how theyre trying to "ween" us off the 6 cyl and their reason given. Im betting it has more to do with GTR overlap.

 

I hate these stupid mockups because the cars never look like that.

As for the 4-cyl, I'll pass. It will probably sound like one of those nasty Evos or STis. Give me the throaty V6 with a turbo any day.

Less than impressed.

At least the numbers look good. ~300 horses and a weight reduction will be welcome.

 

I really feel like if they change it to a four cylinder turbo a lot of people will switch platforms or look for 370s for the v-6 powerplant. I dont think a I-4 turbo powerplant will be competitive against other cars that have v-6s with modding and tuning

 

Sounds like they want to neuter it and make it another BRZ or FRS when the Z crowd wants a Japanese muscle car, not some limp-wristed kiddie car.

 

That rendering looks similar to the Camaro.

If I wanted a fuel efficient car, I'd buy a Mini. Glad to see they are considering keeping the V6; though they'll probably make it severly underpowered so people will choose the I4.

 

It's just going to be a BRZ/FR-S with a slightly larger, FI powerplant.

I agree with Flick, renderings are useless they're only broad concepts and the final result is nowhere close.

 

At least with a facia like that front bumper sales would be through the roof

 

Reminds me of the SLS, except really, really ugly. I hate prototype renders.

 

as long as it comes out with a long hood, sharp nose to chin cut, and a stuffed rear look Ill be happy. I forecast the 4 cyl being the flop and more going with the 6.

It's funny with the power of the internet nowadays being able to see just how finicky masses of people can be to change.

lol

 

Z33 was $30k and Z34 was $40k. If Nissan puts the VR38DETT transplant in this new Z35, I would buy it in a heart beat even if the price is start out at $60K. No need to do any detune to pass the emission testing, because the VR38DETT is carb and emission compliant. Or waste millions of millions dollars to design a new engine for the Z35. That way, Nissan can save a whole lot of money to keep the new Z35 cost down.

 

Ugh gay. If they make a 4 banger Z i'll be pi$$ed. IDGAF if its 2800lbs with 330hp. Z's are traditionally six cylinders. If nissan wants to move away from real motors they should ressurect the 240, no need to slander the Z.

You wouldnt make a V6 bimmer
You wouldnt make a FWD porsche

 

i hope this was a typo ^

 

umm... i hate the thought of a Z with a four banger this isnt a honda.

For the other guy who said bimmer arent six cylinders e30-e46 M3's were all 6 cylinders not to mention the 335i is a six cylinder with a turbo so umm yeah

 

i like it. i think nissan needs to bring back the 240z. 2.4 litre w/ turbo for a low price. then they have room to come out with a 400z at the same time as well as a new gtr. <a man can dream..

 

That's what I was thinking.

Just about everything under the sun that originally was bred for V8 power has been offered with a V6 some time down the road.

However, I'm not buying into much of this until Nissan comes out with it themselves.

 

I predict the 350Z will always the the best looking of all the Zs.

 

Aren't most or all current bimmers inline 6? Maybe the poster above is saying you wouldn't see a v6 since bmws come with inline 6? Just taking a guess lol I'm probably wrong about bmws not coming in v6 form, but I remember when searching for my old 325, all 6 cylinder bmws I looked at were inline 6

 

looks like a 280 and a 370 inbred and popped this out

 

Maybe they should look into an engine redesign instead of reducing to a 4 banger and calling it a day...Vq's are nice but make it more refined??

 

They are, and i hope thats what he was saying
