I think the money worth it tho

 

Everyone has different values for what is worth it or not. I'm not paying $40-45k for a 13 year old chassis with new sheet metal and a borrowed engine, yet I was perfectly fine spending $5k on my Recaro seats.

 

2023 Nissan Z spotted with Fairlady Z badge

2023 Nissan Z spotted with red interior for first time!

https://www.nissanzclub.com/forum/th...irst-time.692/

 

To be fair, the FM chassis is 20 years old this year. But allegedly, the new chassis and suspension modifications make the new Z as much of a driver's car as any before it.

That said, however, it is dated (however effective) and this lends support to my belief that many EXISTING Z/G owners just aren't as enamored with it. And Nissan wants to attract NEW, first time Z buyers with all the hoopla. Like, targeting people who want a Supra or incenting those buying a Toyota 86 to spend a little more for the power of the Z. Just guessing.... if I were a Nissan marketeer, I would certainly use this tactic.

Something's missing here. Where's the shifter? Looks like an A/T with minimized console controller and paddles? And what's up with the dash display? The new Z's display has a round boost gauge on the left - at least on the one I saw and all the pics posted. Hmmmm.....




Wait, here's another semi-related thought/conjecture.... Red trimming is Nismo signature.....

 

We already know that the new Z is getting three interior colors - red is one of them. This is way better than the blue, not as in your face.

 

Well, go ahead, burst my bubble. Hmmmph.

But yes, saw the blue, live and in living color. Umm, no thanks.

 

Nice eye, i actually agree with you, that isn't a normal color scheme. The colors are solid and not 2 tone.
It could be a Nismo and possibly equipped with DCT to justify it's price tag, which frankly it needs to have if it's going to have a closer price to the C8.

What's a normal color scheme for a car that hasn't been released yet?

 

The dash is an LCD screen. It has configurable gauges. The red car currently has a G-meter. You can change it to a boost gauge and likely many other gauges.

Look at the pictures are the blue seat 2 tone or all blue?

 

Got it.

But yet another one bursting my bubble. I mean, I thought maybe it was a turbine speed gauge for the jet engined Nismo.

 

I mean there IS a turbine speed gauge...

 

That's only one of the four planned color schemes, which at this point are all different styles.

 

Guess we'll see eventually, all speculation until then as nobody has actual facts.

 

There's no way on God's green Earth that a Nissan Z is going to be anywhere close to $60K. Even a Nismo. Who would buy one at that price?

 

That's the same thing we said when the Z32 TT, Supra TT and the RX7 TT all came out.

 

370Z started at what $30k? The Nismo was $45k, this new Z will start at $40k so you'd think the Nismo would be $50-55k
