All-new 2023 Nissan Z makes world debut!

[Bryster]

GTR brakes? Mmmmmm....that sounds like a pricey option on the NISMO’s. If it comes standard with those brakes in all trims, then, DAMN NISSAN! Kudos!

Aren't they 15-20K each on the NISMO?

Right! The link quotes him saying, “The brakes are the same as the R35 GT-R」says Smokey Nagata“

Again though, these are desperate times for car makers....Nissan might make it happen.

If this is true, those NISMO owners are going to be pissed

Although I am a HUGE Nissan and Z fan (owned quite a few Z’s actually)....a ~$45k Twin Turbo Z making 400hp with that modern of an interior, all while being built in Japan....something’s gotta give. Let’s hope the reliability/durability department isn’t “defunded” with this new management like Ghosn’s management did.

That 'something' is probably the fact that it's built on a very old and outdated platform.

What I'm worried about is how much this thing will weigh, the 370Z with a manual transmission and its bare bones interior. is already around the same weight as the Supra 3.0, which has an extremely rigid chassis, a lot sound insulation, a well made interior and an automatic transmission. I can't imagine this new Z will be lighter than the old one, which is already car that has problems with handling its own weight.

Now that we got the Z proto, can we get a Silvia proto pretty please?

The Nissan IDx along with the Toyota S-RF are both dead. Welcome to the age of CUVs.

For the sake of less CUVs Nissan and Toyota should have collaborated together for a sub Z & 86 sports car.

I could see this as being a thing as well. Nissan needs a new 2+2 RWD Silvia coupe.

Or... if Mitsubishi weren’t in such terrible shape they should jointly develop with Nissan a new Starion alongside a new RWD 2+2 Silvia.

That would be sweet, but sadly I think Nissan and Toyota have too much pride to reach across the aisle. :/

Sadly I agree. They probably won’t collaborate on any sports car. It’s a sad thing since it will be much harder to produce a car like the Silvia at an acceptable price point in a few years.

I do see Toyota continuing to collaborate with Subaru and possibly with Mazda. Toyota and Honda seemed to gave some sort of technology agreement a while back that was related to batteries and/or hydrogen tech so perhaps that is also a possibility.

Nissan however I don’t see realistically collaborating on a sportscar with anyone. They should but I doubt they will. They’re slowly pulling away from Renault. I’d love to see them collaborate with Mitsubishi on a new 2+2 RWD coupe to create a new Silvia and Starion but that is also very unlikely.

Going further out on a limb, a tie-up or in-house effort to develop a new Pulsar GTI-R, Bluebird SSS sedan, Stagea station wagon AS an actual non-crossover station wagon, March or Micra Super-Turbo, RWD Cedric, and/or a Skyline much smaller, simpler and driver-focused like the R32‘s, 33’s and 34’s would be amazing. I can dream.

Rumors coming out of this show was that the car was going to almost identical to what we see here.

I've always been a Z fan and I'm glad it's back. But... for someone who grew up with the 300ZX, 3000GT, RX-7, NSX, MR2 and Supra, I'm glad I went with the Supra this time around.
