I think there will be one or two on the road. Just that chances of seeing them are extremely slim. I for one would be interested in importing one but I wouldn't pay more than the current car new price which is 35-40k for a low mileage so that probably rules me out for the first 2-3 years if priced like the Supra. If the car is essentially a Z34 I don't feel its worth more than a few bob above the current car. Tbh I think Nissan will want at least £10,000 above the current car

Theres clearly bias in the media. Thats why we cant have nice things. Unfortunately the result is not many new products. Now confirmed no new product for EU. Its not purely a Paris agreement. It wasnt cost effective to add opf for selling 100 cars in West EU The Z proto has been well received in US despite the front design. Just a case of pricing now. Cant see it being less than £45,000 new and £38,000 used initially. They may go one further and price it at $50,000 in US. If they really want to hit the younger crowd it needs to be similar price to the current car at $40-$51,000 Get rid of the 6 piston brakes as thats adding $1000 dollars to the current maintenance. Unless they plan on going for more stock power than initially intended Be interesting to see if they give a price by January.

Stealers have a knack for putting on cheap to mid range caca tyres on performance cars. I had a go at Nissan Bury for using Nexen tires. Total crap. Yes replace all tyres.

i had my side windows tinted but not the rear due to the heating elements and light in the cabin. Recently took them off though.

lol as Motor1 and the rest have said..Its okay when Porsche, Ferrari and co do it. Heres a render

SSC Owned by Shelby? 1750 hp. Traction issues wont be suprised looks like a work in progress.

lool, grills galore.... Turboing and engine swap are a bit of a headache. There are some q60 engines for sale and a few people in the states have done it. Better off either staying old school or changing brand

I think the pale yellow paint doesn't help in the slightest. The 370 nismo still has better looks for me. Hoping for a midlife facelift. One thing that wont change are the headlights. Everything else can be worked on. Maybe the aftermarket can do something with the appearance of the headlights, front bumpers and fenders

Otherwise there are reasons why Apple chose not to go beyond 12 MP for the past 3 iterations. Also their 4k video has more stabilization so much so you dont really need a Gimbal.

I hope it gets smashed by depreciation so I can import it

hows the camera? I see Huawei are now using a 50mp camera.

https://www.thedrive.com/news/37025/nissan-z-proto-will-reach-production-pretty-much-unchanged-says-nissan-executive As first thought. Not much will change. Take it or leave it lol Theres the aftermarket. Makes no difference to us since its not coming here lol

Newer Z will be fine for now. I guess the government assume newer cars have better emissions control despite bigger engines emitting high amount of pollutants

The summon feature outside of EU seems to work fine. Apparently some people in US are using it. Thats great that they support the car 3 plus years after. Its important for customer retention. As opposed to saying 'end of life' just get an upgrade. Will be interested to know how it is post CPU upgrade.

Im in I.T too, so im all for tech in the right places and within reason. Hence im not completely opposed to Electric cars but they have their flaws. Its just technology for the sake of being edgy and cool. The summon feature was probably thought about by some teenager 30 years ago. Someone just thought lets do it now the car can read traffic lights and signs as well as detect covert pedestrians. Technology gives people the license to do dangerous things like this. Being in the US its probably a 1 hour cross county lines journey he/she slept through.

Death of the town center? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/cars/article-8830815/Birminghams-Clean-Air-Zone-live-1-June-2021.html

Very dangerous combo rear wheel and bad weather. It probably aquaplaned changing lanes. Could be an uneven bit of road. In the dry there would probably be no story here as the car tends to skip on stock suspension and twitch but regain itself. Hope they are okay and fortunately others managed to stop in time. They shouldn't lose faith as its not a common occurrence with the 370s

I have a local indie that services my CRZ and AA Approved and all the good certs....Ive taken my Nissan to him for interim oil changes £20 labour and sometimes hes like just pay for the oil+ filter... sometimes i get a discount from him....using only Nissan approved OEM items...i could do it myself but i prefer a qualified person with a ramp lol.

Lol I hear you but you need to remember not all buyers are that way inclined. A lot of buyers come from other manufacturers like the Germans and prefer full dealer history. Whereas people who have been on the mod scene are very versed with Specialist garages and independents. The average joe on the street would assume non dealer history is your mate doing DIY on the car. Some may think yes its serviced but hasn't undergone a 70 point checklist as standard. Things may have been missed. While a specialist could tell you why you have serious brake judder but a manufacturer may need to hire a specialist disc skimmer. There are pros and cons....I know Abbey. Id take an older 370 or 350 to them. Ive been there recently for brakes as I needed uprated pads and better discs than standard. Also had that judder issue and my calipers needed repainting. Left the painting for now though. So indies have their pros and cons Not slating them at all as service was top and hes a knowledgeable guy...been in the game decades...id definitely take my car to get work done from a specialist.....but there are pros and cons anywhere you go. The cars only 4 years old with 4 services so far. If youre never selling or giving the car to a fellow enthusiast then indies or diy all the way.

Does the Taycan have this half baked feature? Apparently they blocked it in the EU. Then people thought they could be smart by using remote desktop feature with 2 phones. It got patched straight away. Thanks to social media. It never fully worked anyway A summon feature is people trying to run before they can walk.

Its possible to hit 70mph in central lol maybe for a second. You risk getting 6 pointer if seen by police lol....Just not worth the risk. Im assuming these Noise detection cameras are listening out for any car producing just over the idle limit for EU of around 74 decibels i think. Cruising at 30mph in 4th gear can produce 80db..maybe the limit is around 85 decibels...so in most cars you shouldn't be gunning it in 2nd gear over 20mph lol....how does that apply to a stock Aventador!

Central London, go there once a year if that. They should keep those cameras in central...We love hearing screaming bikes and v6, v8, v10 and v12 around here

For anyone looking at electric dont be fooled by badges. The Kia Niro my mum got was car of the year and got very good reviews. I think its a Hyundai power plant too. Tesla realise their unique selling point has to shift from I got the first Electric that does.....to we have the best range.....its becoming tougher for them to have that USP. The guys always looking for new ways to adjust the usp on his cars The used prices are about right. But you could also get a Tesla Model 3 2020 performance for around 50k. That will offer great performance and range. Used prices of the marquees will remain good. Due to competition Tesla are driving in new refresh on the model 3 and S and a new smaller car they claim will cost £25,000 new I expect this to be a common theme in the future with more competition lower priced EVs will be a thing. The Taycan 4S or any entry level models will remain where they are youre right. If Musk must go for volume he should hover around the 20-50k area. Anything above that may see people going for the bigger brands like Porsche as time goes on. Now theyve arrived
