2015 Nissan Z will be lighter and leaner


 
  news 
 

Initial rumors about the next generation Nissan Z stated that it would be ready for the 2013 model year, but it seems those rumors were completely wrong. In an interview with Inside Line, Nissan’s design boss Shiro Nakamura said that the development of the next Z sports car is in its early stages and that we would see a concept version of the car soon. The production version is actually set to arrive as early as the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.

The previous generation - the 350Z - was extremely successful, but unfortunately, the current 370Z didn’t acquire the same high notes. According to Nakamura, the next Z sports car needs to have a stronger impact. To achieve this, the next Z-sports car will be lighter and leaner, and will most likely rid itself of the current 3.7 liter V6 engine in favor of a new four-cylinder engine. This will make the car more fuel efficient, and, according to Nakamura, will make it "more accessible to open the door to more people."

As for its exterior design, the next Z will combine the current sporty look with "excitement, substance, and agility."

I was a bit sulky at that time because I was really anticipating for the next generation Nissan Z. It was just a rumor.

They are going to focus on sales rather than increasing any numbers and enhancing appearance. It is only for two persons? It’ll be good if they enhance and improve this one.

@Steve216: I’m hoping also that there will be four-seater in this Z.

If they are targeting sportier appearance, they don’t have to because they already attained that sporty stance.

So if they mean it’ll be lighter and leaner, does it mean they are going to make Nissan Z different from the other. I hope this will benefit the current speed and agility.

If the Nissan is lighter and leaner, does it mean that they are going to change its current exterior into all new Nissan? What performance can it give from the V6 engine?

I hope the new one will be 4 seater, that’s all that has been holding me back from getting a Z
