Nissan 400z

[Disoblige]

I wish a base 370Z was a tad cheaper so I can get it under $30K OTD after taxes, etc.
Then I can do this

Please, please, please let the 400Z get a proper LSD. The viscous unit has to be the biggest single issue with the 350/370.

This x1000

Even a vanilla mechanical LSD, no need for some fancy eLSD. And for the love of god I hope some front camber adjustment.

Given it's almost a carbon copy of current car that has a NA 332HP mill for $30K, how up market can a, really just a mmc model fetch?

At best they can start a detune 300HP one at $40K-$50K and a 400HP one for $50-$60K. Tough to hit $70K with what's shown. Unless they keep throwing $13-$15K on the hood to move them like Q60.

Q50 Red Sport sedan starts at $58K (for some silly reason the coupe starts at $7K more), there's no way they can price this thing higher than the "luxury" counterpart

I also think a proper LSD would help. I've seen some more news about this recently, but it looked like clickbait, so I didn't bother.
I've been for a ride in one of those Red Sports recently and it's pretty amazing. I'm hoping to get to drive one sometime before Xmas.

I think the original renderings floating around the net didn't have much of any grille to see. Just black plastic. In that last pic of the front, it stands out quite a bit. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing - it looks pretty industrial (they would call it retro) for a sports car.

I like the back end but the front end looks like a miata to me

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

That doesn’t look like a manual transmission to me.

[ExtraSlow]

Looks better than recent Nissan shit.

[adam c]

That front end looks like a teen with braces

[ExtraSlow]

If Aston Martin made a mustang?

[Buster]

Did they paint half of th grill chrome?

[ExtraSlow]

I think it's mouth is partly open.

[heavyD]

It’s a weird looking car. The rectangular cut-out opening looked better than this partial grille. Maybe it will look better in person.

[ThePenIsMightier]

Needs bigger and more poorly positioned fuel door.

It's because it is older than recent nissan shit.

Haha I hadn't noticed that. Looks like it's the size of a baketball.

Overall, car looks okay. I generally think Nissan makes garbage, with an exception now and then. Maybe this one will be an exception?

[dirtsniffer]

well they couldn't move the location of the fuel door, but they wanted to curve in that same location. insert oversized door to make the geometry work.

2002 would also like their e-brake lever back.

Looks like ass.

It kind of looks bad if you fixate on it. I didn't really notice it until it was pointed out but now I will probably fixate on it for a bit. Probably won't be as noticeable in a darker color. The styling looks like a fusion of old and new ideas that doesn't quite work but I will reserve judgement until I see it in person. If it has 400+ hp and weighs under 3500 lbs it should at least be fun to drive as hopefully Nissan prices this car accordingly as it's still a Nissan at the end of the day.

Does the setting for these pictures not scream "here is a fake 400z" to anyone?
What's the motivation to believe this?
