A bit more from the same article:
'As for a more potent Nismo-tuned version, Mr Tamura would not be drawn on the possibility, but said the market will decide whether a new version comes to market.
“This answer is why not … for me, if customers strongly request for the Nismo grade, why not?” he said.
“I cannot say yes or no (right now), it’s not clear.”
Timing on the production version of the next Z sports car also remains unclear, but Nissan has a track record of releasing near-production ready concepts like the Ariya, putting the 400Z on track for a 2021 launch.'
