Nissan 370Z Replacement To Get Twin-Turbo V6 Says Report
The Nissan 370Z replacement is expected to go on sale in the next couple of years and now a new report from Autoblog says we can expect it to pack a twin-turbo V6.
Nissan dealer sources in the US, who have reportedly seen the new model, told Autoblog the next-generation Zed car (rumoured to launch in 2021 or 2022) will use a version of the twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6 from the Infiniti Q50.

Nissan Just Trademarked A Cool New Retro Z Logo
A new trademark filing, currently being discussed on the NewNissanZ.com forum, doesn’t guarantee that Nissan is committing to a retro design for its next Z car or is making a “next Z car” at all.
But! At the very least, it lets us know that somebody at Nissan is still thinking about this model, which has been languishing essentially unchanged as the 370Z for over a decade.

Nissan Just Trademarked A Cool New Retro Z Logo - Jalopnik
The Nissan Z sports car (well, let’s be real, it’s a sporty touring car) has a storied but inconsistent history. So, too, does the Z emblem. The twin-turbo rounded wedge Z of the ’90s was cool, but the long and lithe Z of the ’70s was the loveliest. This new logo looks quite a bit like a...

Nissan Readies New Z Car
Nissan is preparing a successor to the iconic Z range of sportscars. First thing's first, it's going to need a new logo.
Japanese brand Nissan will also be getting a new logo. Recent trademark filings in the UK and many South American countries suggest the brand will ditch its current corporate logo in favour of something that's flatter. What's also interesting is that along with the trademark application, Nissan also applied to have a 'Z' logo registered. For those who know their Nissan Z cars, this new logo looks remarkably similar to that of the original 240Z from 1971.

New Nissan Z car to use 400Z name and twin-turbo V6
Long-awaited 370Z replacement will send 400bhp to its rear wheels, and is expected to be unveiled within the next year
The long-awaited successor to the Nissan 370Z is finally becoming a reality – and the all-new sports car could be revealed to the world within the next 12 months.
Tipped to be called the 400Z, it’s set to make use of a twin-turbocharged V6 offering greater levels of performance than its predecessor.
With the 370Z having been on sale with only minimal changes since 2009, rumours of what will replace it have been circulating for years.

The long-awaited successor to Nissan’s 370Z – ostensibly called the 400Z and powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6 – could be revealed within the next 12 months, a report claims.
If you look up the specs of the venerable 370Z sportscar on Cars.co.za’s New Car Specs & Test Drives section and click on the General tab, you’ll see “Date Range introduced (in) SA: June 2009”. A run of almost 11 years on the South African new-car price list is quite extraordinary, even if low-volume sportscars tend to have longer product lifecycles than stronger-selling passenger vehicle models.
Even though the Nissan received detail updates through the years, most notably at the end of 2017, it feels older than it is because "a sporty, yet ultimately comfort-oriented coupe with a large-capacity, non-aspirated motor that drives its rear wheels" is a decidedly old-school and (no offence intended) North American sportscar recipe. Now that Toyota has a Supra back on the roads (albeit with help from BMW), Nissan has to raise its game and re-imagine its Z car.

It’s official! Nissan teases upcoming successor to 370Z sportscar.
Yes, it’s official. Nissan has released a teaser video giving us our first glimpse of the upcoming replacement for the 370Z sportscar.
The Japanese firm played the short video (also added to YouTube and embedded below) after presenting its latest financial results and outlining its four-year, costing-cutting “transformation plan” .
While Nissan announced it would slash both its production capacity and global product range (by around 20 percent each), it wasn’t all doom and gloom. The company also promised to focus on “global core model segments”, including sportscars, and introduce “12 models in the next 18 months”.

Nissan 400Z Takes Shape With Renderings After Teaser Shown
Last week we got our first glimpse and confirmation from Nissan that a new Z model will be on the way and as you can imagine, this got the digital artists and renderers very excited.
It is reportedly being called the “400Z,” and is set to replace the 370Z within the next 18 months and will retain its rear-drive layout and classic two-seat, and long-bonnet coupe body style.
Nissan appears to have elegantly combined modern and classic styling cues to create what could be its most popular Z car ever.
Designated the Z35-series, the new Nissan Z will reportedly make use of the VR30DDTT engine from Infiniti with around 400 hp (298 kW) from the twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6.

Nissan to reveal new Z sports car prototype on 16 September
Japanese firm confirms reveal date for prototype version of long-awaited 370Z successor
Nissan will reveal the prototype version of its new Z sports car, previewing the long-awaited successor to the 370Z, later this month.
The Japanese firm announced on Twitter that it will reveal a ‘Nissan Z Proto’ on 16 September, previewing the new model that is due in 2021. Autocar understands the production version of the machine is set to use the ‘400Z’ title.
Nissan has revealed few details of the car, which will be the latest addition to its Z sports car lineage, which began in 1969 with the launch of the Datsun 240Z. The Twitter post confirming the imminent arrival of the ‘Z Proto’ read: “50 years of passion. Innovation at its core. Modern technology, with a vintage touch.’
The post also featured a short video that highlighted the 50-year lineage of the Z brand, and finished with a teaser silhouette of the new car.

Used car buying guide: Nissan 350Z
If you have a need for speed on a budget, you can’t do much better than the 350Z that Nissan offered from 2002 to 2009
There was once a time when the Mazda MX-5’s monopoly on the affordable sports car market wasn’t so unshakable. When keen drivers could take their pick from a raft of punchy but keenly priced B-road weapons that promised ease of use, kerb appeal and durability in equal measure.
The Nissan 350Z is just one of those cars, and although the 370Z that came after (and amazingly is still in production after nearly 12 years) is remarkably similar in terms of its design, construction and performance, it’s the older Z that’s beginning to cultivate genuine classic cachet, and it might not be long before casual enthusiasts are priced out of the market for it.
What are its selling points, then? Well, its front-mounted 3.5-litre V6 engine – unencumbered as it is by turbochargers – is widely upheld as one of the finest performance motors of the past two decades, proffering a commendable 276bhp in early cars before being bumped up to nearer 300bhp in 2006. It’s a hardy lump and, if given due care and attention, will soldier on well past the 100,000-mile mark with few complaints.
The 350Z’s interior is also held in high regard for its refreshing simplicity and the quality of its construction. Entry-level cars offered little in the way of luxury, but the GT package gained such niceties as cruise control, electric seats and leather upholstery, making for few compromises in terms of refinement, even compared with much newer models.

New Nissan Z Proto: hear the (manual) 370Z successor start up and rev!
Nissan has released yet another short teaser video of its upcoming Z Proto, a sportscar concept set to preview the eventual 370Z successor.
This latest clip confirms a six-speed manual gearbox (for the prototype, at the very least) and also gives us an idea of what the Z Proto will sound like.
We hear the sportscar start up and see the driver slot the manual cog-swapper into first. The driver then leans on the throttle, giving us a listen to the engine note. There’s also a quick look at the alloy wheel design.
Expected to wear the 400Z badge, the new sportscar will reportedly ride on a tweaked version of Infiniti’s rear-wheel-drive platform, as used by the Q50 and Q60, and take on the Toyota GR Supra. An earlier report suggested the 400Z would furthermore borrow the Q60’s twin-turbocharged 3,0-litre V6 petrol engine.

Nissan Z Proto Concept
Nissan has unveiled the Z Proto, signalling the company's intent to launch a new generation of the legendary Z sports car. Shown at an event beamed around the world from the Nissan Pavilion in Yokohama, Japan, the prototype features new design inside and out, as well as an upgraded powertrain with a manual transmission.
In Franklin, just south of Nashville, hundreds of Z owners and enthusiasts watched the Nissan Z Proto's Yokohama debut on big screens from their vehicles in a socially distanced event- part of a weeklong schedule of activities during the 33rd annual International Z Convention (ZCON).
First hinted at in a brand teaser video, "Nissan A-Z," shown in May, the Nissan Z Proto pays full respect to 50 years of Z heritage. At the same time, it's a thoroughly modern sports car.
"The Z represents the joy of driving in its purest form and has helped shape Nissan's DNA as a passionate, innovative challenger," said Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida. "Ever since the first generation, it has captured the hearts of car enthusiasts all over the world. That's why we're so excited today to be able to say to them: Yes, the next one is coming!"
