Nissan will preview the 370Z replacement at next month's Tokyo Motor Show with a brand new concept.
This piece of information was disclosed by Nissan's development boss
Andy Palmer who also said the car will be "smaller and lighter" but
without losing power compared to the 370Z. Chances are motivation will
come from a smaller turbocharged engine, but we won't be surprised if
the concept will use an electric drivetrain.
The production version on the other hand will use a gasoline mill
once it goes official in the next couple of years. An August 2012 report
indicated the 370Z replacement is going to use a powerful four-cylinder
turbocharged gasoline engine installed in a smaller and lighter car
wrapped around in a more attractive body. Despite the downsized engine,
the 370Z successor will allegedly have just about the same level of
performance as the current V6-powered model.
Andy Palmer told during this year's Frankfurt Motor
Show that Nissan will later on launch a high-performance version
developed by Nismo "to ensure it could compete in the market it's
already in." He went on to say he already drove the car and it's
"enjoyable and energizing."
Also at Tokyo Motor Show in November, Nissan might reveal a sub-370Z model which could turn out to be a production variant of the 2011 Esflow concept with either a gasoline-electric hybrid setup or an all-electric arrangement.
