Here?s a version of the pic with the shadows brought up so you can see more details.

There?s a metal strip that runs from the a pillar all the way down the roof to the rear. A Z badge on the C pillar. And you can see the front lip and how much the real lip stick out.

I hope Nissan debuts this thing sooner than later and gets the hype going. There is nothing about this thing that says concept car to me, this looks like a production ready car.

In a perfect world I think they give us two engine choices, a turbo six and a turbo 4. A turbo QR would be fantastic as a base model.

Same here. I've been thinking about gettting a 2017+ Q50 and people are taking the non redsport models and hitting 400+ whp with just a tune and a few bolt ons.

The redsport comes factory tuned at 400 crank, so imo would be easy for Nissan to put 375-425HP in this car

Edit: check this out $2,900 for a tune, intake and a heat exchanger makes 430whp in the Q60. Drop this beast in a Z that is lighter with a manual and you have a bomb recipe for a sports car.

This. Manual gearboxes for both as well!

The more I look at that pic, I also see a lot of Jaguar F-Type in there as well.

Yeah I forget the article discussing this, but I believe the redsport is basically the 'normal' 3.0 with different software. Hardware might even be all the same.

This. Do it while expectation's are still Low. Don't need social media & "renderings" overhyping this comeback. NSX & Supra come to mind.

Nissan would be really start to just wait u til we?re on the other side of this pandemic bs, and then just start releasing new car after new after new car. They have the oldest line up on the market right now. If the Z is as near producer ready as it appears they could announce it and launch it pretty quickly. Also these cars are supposed to be released by 2023. So at the latest we?re 3 years off. I just don?t see them waiting that long now. Nissan desperately needs a win of some sort.

Also because we were so excited to see the Z, no one noticed the GTR wasn?t in there! Sounds like we won?t see that until after 2023 now.

One of the rendering artists I follow just posted this. He had been working on this before the reveal. What?s awesome is it?s not too far off from what Nissan showed. Again, I am all for this fucking thing.

I would not mind that one bit.

The silhouette in the Nssan ad looks quite nice. Wonder if there will ever be another 2+2 design rather than just a 2 seater.

Do we know the exact drive train being used or just assuming it will be a 6 speed manual plus VR30DETT?

Assuming. No confirmation on the drive train. Heavily rumored

Pretty solid assumption though. We know it?s still based on the FM so we can safely guess on at least one engine choice. The 6 speed is just a rumor but it?s based off of info directly from a presentation. As fucked up as nissan?s decisions have been, I can?t imagine them releasing a new Z with only an auto. The Supra makes sense because of its history, but not the Z.

It'd be awesome if they surprised us with a straight-6, but they'd probably reach out to Benz for that (or is that an Infiniti-only thing?) No way they currently have the means to develop that themselves at this moment.

^Awesome yes.

Happening? Not a chance in hell.

With the VR being so capable and already in several units it would be unwise for them to go to an entirely new drive train.

Makes me wonder though. If the new Z comes in manual and has a VR30, that means Q60 manual swaps could become a thing.

A q60 manual making around 450whp would be such a good time.

Nice. I hope they revise their model nomenclature scheme as well. Q-everything was a poor move.

Word on the current Infiniti model names.

Didn't know what was what for a good minute. Then lost total interest because everything just felt the same.

It’ll probably happen. Lincoln is going back to names after a decade of trying the MK bullshit. That was probably the worst version of that.

A good article on the whole subject, its paywall locked but you can still scroll and read it, just not copy paste it.

https://www.autonews.com/automakers-...ot-cap-revival

Essentially they are going to be like Acura and be up market vs full on luxury. This could mean RWD cars might start to disappear from Infiniti if they platform share.

It seems like Carlos set some really high goals for Nissan/Infiniti and they struggled to meet them (they didn't) and over stretched themselves.

Combine that with the quality issues and no wonder they are bathing in red.

Hopefully this isn't COMPLETELY bad news. Platform sharing can mean the successor to the G20 and the next-gen Q60/G37 would definitely deliver if the Z delivers. Those two would probably the the only thing I'd be excited about from Infiniti moving forward. I don't know the Q-names, but the M and Q models didn't really sell well here anyway, so that won't feel like too much of a loss.

very not terrible.

not super stoked on the headlight shape, imo the Fiat Miata did a better job of looking like a Z than this does.
