  1. Its not going to happen remember and if it does itll be a dull 2 liter. The worlds going to end shortly after we're all forced to drive EV. etc etc Negative much? Its not that bad. Honestly
  2. "Public Charging Cable" is £210 pounds. Its probably a thicker weather and fireproof cable with Porsche lettering. Thats the standard turbo model. Audi and VW have had window mechanism issues from 2000 and still do today.
  3. Nice EV....might as well get yourself one of those.
  4. Found it. £115,000 starting. My brother replied big boys only. Thats tell you what you need to know about that LOL I cant see that price coming down and why would it. Its Porsche after all. My options were considered "reasonable" and came to £31,000 bringing the total to £147,269
  5. From the side its not the best. But the back is good. The front isnt the best design as they tried to make it look cute with the headlights. Meanwhile the 8 series has a different headlight and grill design I think the 40i for me would be nice. Can always get a Nismo further down the line in say 2-3 years, still got my pipes Ill wait till end of year prices are coming down with new plate out and summer coming to an end.
  6. Most get quieter over time once there is some soot lining the exhaust. Mine were asbo for 3 weeks then it got quieter. Resonated is the way to go
  7. I was referencing your car sir. Yours sounded the best in my opinion. Goes well with the car. Reminded me of my AAMs
  8. the best sounding ZED at Ace Cafe had Tarmac Short Tails. You dont need a full system.
  9. They cant expect huge numbers but neither can the other rival brands. Ofcourse if we are talking about europe alone id agree. But North America is a huge market for it. Infact close to 70% of 370z sales are based in US. I think in Europe you would rely on Germans to be bigger sellers. Like I said before without US id say don't bother. Also the Supra is expected to sell a lot in US and Canada. Its not a risk because GTR is still selling hence its continuation to at least 2022-2023 according to chief engineer. Its rivals such as the 6 cylinder M2 may not be a huge seller but there is still a market for it. Also what determines failure or success if the Alpine for example only sold 1,800 roughly in 2018. Europe alone. Which is a lot less than the first year of the 370. Also they are introducing it to new markets such as Australia. It may not be high on the priority list. But its possible. 370 hasnt been profitable but didnt stop them producing it for an extra 7 years after ditching the convertible. Despite only selling 1000 a year. The biggest market USA will probably determine any future for the Z cars. I think it still has a place if done right and priced right. If you dont offer different trims or engine options then dont expect mass sales.
  10. It is a Z forum. Every Z forum deserves a good render. Apparently the Japanese website that leaked this have been accurate in the past. Lol The lights are similar to the Juke. Only thing now is if they okay it or scrap it. Either way I think it looks a bit German but modernised. The grill definitely needs work
  11. Onto the next model. A new model is desperately needed to accompany the new Juke. With the right design and trim I think there is potential to do really well. It can look really slick if done right. The 370Z has had its time now. Time to run along Put an efficient 3 liter turbo 399hp in the new one, make it lighter than the current Nismo. Price it at £40,000 new thats 10k cheaper than its nearest rival the M2, Supra then youre onto something then just bring a much more powerful 475hp Nismo a year later at 45k-50k etc. Include a DCT and Manual option.
  12. Only available with 1 liter turbocharged 117 horsepower Engine from November. £17,000 - £25,000. Hybrids may be on the way. Sports a much improved interior, sports seats, alcantara bits from Mercedes, speakers in the head rest, flat bottom steering wheel, DCT and Manual option. Check out this review below already viewed by a few in last 24 hours. Still Marmite then? I think design is much better than previous especially at the front. Still not a looker lol
  13. lol nice car, even though it stands out I dont think it has the road presence but it will be a headturner for sure. Although I feel the Z4 better and more spacious, I have a feeling within a few months there will be something else to rival it for cheaper
  14. Nismo is a hard ride, but a bit more compliant than a lot of rivals. Maybe consider Air Ride or Coilovers not lowered too much. Might be better
  15. Going to look on weekend to see what the fuss is about. I rather have the Z4 M40i. Looks way better. One guy is trying to cash in putting it up for £65,000 Good luck with the sale
  16. Opening doors, bonnet and boot would have been awesome. I suppose the lights youd have to wire that yourself like on Youtube
  17. GT Spirit are good too. Shame the doors dont open
  18. Probably not news for many. A few dealers have decided to take them on hoping to sell them. All I say is good luck with the sale. Hopefully there wont be a 2020 and 2021 but lets say im not putting bets down. £34,999 please.....................
  19. Yep they are already planning to release hybrid 911 and hybrid panamera with a view to offering full electric on those models in future. I cant see my brother getting a base model. Either way im sure 400-600hp will be nice to haul all that weight around. Obviously itll be nice if he got the Nurburgring spec. You only live once right. lol
  20. Dont worry half the people over here in the UK cant speak English and thats the mother tongue lol
  21. Initial Outlay of most brands still more expensive than the gas guzzling used car run over 2 years. Even the Honda E with its range of 125 miles they want to price at £30,000 On a more positive note my brothers favourite Porsche Taycan just got 7:42 on the Nurburgring. Porsche boast no power fade in comparison to Tesla with lots of consecutive launches. That caused a bit of a storm online. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.carscoops.com/2019/08/porsche-taycan-prototype-shows-how-it-copes-after-30-consecutive-launches/amp/
  22. Looking on Autotrader Nissan Leaf loses up to £13000 in value post 12 months. At 36 months it being sold at £12-15,000 for the mid and low spec. More likely top spec leaf will retail at £20,000 post 36 months low mileage for the £40,000 new leaf top spec. The mid range model at £36000 new and lower spec at £30,000 new. Tesla Model S is being sold at £39-62k 2016 models. Not sure how much they were brand new. Guessing 60-90k depending on model. Teslas holding better value due to brand popularity in this sector. 30% depreciation is good. But thats Tesla. Other brands depreciate far more. Daily Mail may be the butt of jokes, but that particular article wasnt far off. The unwanted Nismo 370z loses up to £15,000 in the first 2 years from £40,000 extreme case 37.5% but the Germans such as the older M2 lost up to £12,000 after 2 years and 20,000 miles 30 - 39% percentile range depreciation is more realistic on petrol cars 3 years old and 30k miles. I appreciate people like what they like. I was interested to see what other brands apart from Tesla can offer. Nissan offer 300 mile range which is good. Im not a huge fan of electric cars but I appreciate what they do. Its just not feasible for most people until the proper infrastructure is in place especially those without a cushty driveway or charging points they can see from their living room overlooking the street. Im not arguing for or against. Just giving an opinion never claimed anything as fact.
  23. the 350z girl had a clean go. But you might be right or wrong. Its hard to tell. Some of the drivers in episode 1 were absolute garbage. Also certain cars are easy to control and dont take huge amount of skill to drift. They need to ditch the excessive arab style commentary. It ruins the experience a little when everything needs to be explained. But i suppose its similar to those japanese gladiator style obstacle course tv shows. Three commentators is a bit over the top Episode 2, "oh we can see shes distraught" no we cant see lol we need you to tell us.....
