When is the 2011 Z's released?
 

I was at the local Nissan dealer recently and they are already stocking 2011 Altima's, when typically are the the 2011 Z's released, Jan.1st?

next year model cars typically come out the summer before that year. 2011 370zs are already out. they have anniversary models and unchanged models.

Dealers are already having the "end of the year clearance sale" so the 2011s should be arriving in a month or so. Nissan website still lists 2010 Z models. BTW - the 40th anniversary is a 2010.

ah good to know.

The electric 370Z has been delayed until mid-2011. That's what I heard.

:icon22: If it's electric, then it won't be a 370 will it?

Maybe they'll start using the amperage as the designation. :rolleyes:

My apologies. Half electric: http://www.370z.com/MagazineArticles...Z-in-2011.aspx

The first hybrid Z. very interesting

I'll believe it when I see it. Or at least when something with Nissan's name on it makes the announcement. This idea has been floating around for over a year, with many people reporting it but all from the same little-known source.

Who wants an electric sports car anyway? We're probably not talking about a Tesla, it will probably be more like a Prius.

After you guys mentioned the possibility of a 370 hybrid I did a little more digging and located this site (attached). It appears that Nissan will be teaming with Mercedes, among others, on this endeavour. This could make for a very interesting machine. It appears the concept rendition is using the 350 style headlights, not my color!

Why wouldn't you? In application like the Z-platform, it would have more performance implications (at least, you'd hope!) than anything else. Who wouldn't want a 50-80 ft.lbs boost through the entire power band?
