Daryl Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Would be nice if it had a non turbo version of the GTR 3.8, that would be a nice link, though if they are calling it the 370Z Nismo, thats unlikely. Needs the S1 Nismo rear wing, but like the rest of it. Quote
Jay Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Power the same? Ffs well that's that out te window then lol 1 Quote
Cake Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 I want to settle down with it and have baby Nismos. Until just now, I've always been a, "don't understand buying a brand new car, instant depreciation when you drive off, etc etc" if this comes with a sensible monthly payment, I may just break my own rules. I'm with you on this. It really does look great but like everyone says it needs a spoiler but I'm biased as I've had to add one to the more subtle GT styling as it wasn't enough. Hope they are not too expensive, otherwise a second hand GTR comes in to play. As much as I love my Z, a GTR would be too tempting Quote
Dynamic Turtle Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 Little bit overstyled front and rear bumper (as usual) and the rear duckbill would make a nice addition to a standard 370z but the Nismo should have an element of Max Power about it, i.e. a BGW. Seat looks great, as do the alloys. Quote
Will370z Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Boo, it's not coming to the uk "Sadly, Nissan UK confirmed to TopGear.com that the new Zed car, which goes on sale in July 2014, was only built for the States. Which is a shame, because that new bodywork does look nice" Quote

Bobbyheinz Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Love the front bumper but the rest of it....meh Don't like the wheels as much as the standard rays No heated seats by the looks of things Rear has a tacky aftermarket look to me too Quote
Wayne370Z Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) Seats are a big improvement and body kit looks a lot nicer than the current one but why are they still not giving it a proper increase in power over standard - Nismo 370bhp would sound about right ! Edited May 19, 2014 by Wayne370Z 1 Quote
Sharpen Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Looks great in the pics, can't wait to see one in the flesh. Nissan have done a good job here, styling is not too aggressive looking but enough to make sure it stands out from the crowd. Nice to see the fangs back too. Hope we get this over here at some point.

sipar69 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I was actually quite relieved when I saw it in the sense that I didn't immediately feel cheated at having bought the current Nismo. The seats are very smart but for me the whole point of the Nismo exterior styling is that it isn't subtle. The loss of the larger rear spoiler makes it look very un-Nismo to me, the front end is much too busy and the current Nismo wheels are much better looking. Quote

Ekona Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 That is a billion times better than the boxy monstrosity we currently have. Lines flow beautifully but with purpose, and those (assuming Recaro) seats work very well. Much better Nissan. Now bring it over here. 2 Quote

Ekona Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 In fairness to yours, I prefer your wheels I think, but literally that's it. The new one is a much more cohesive design, more OEM and less tuner. It's what Nissan should be doing, rather than try and emulate the aftermarket. Quote
sipar69 Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Well I guess well have to agree to disagree on this one. I think the new one looks too fussy from the front and too standard from the back. I can see that the new one will have some added appeal in the US with the addition of all the bells and whistles that we already get as standard here (sat nav etc.). Hopefully it will make it over here then people can take their pick Quote

Hopefully it will make it over here then people can take their pick It's all about taste... I agree with you that the current styling suits what I would expect from Nismo. I love them both but push comes to shove I would go with the current model (same as yours) as it is a bit more aggressive looking! PLUS, you may be able to get a deal now this baby could be coming out!! 1 Quote
delz0r Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 I wouldn't say no to the current one or the new one. Both look awesome. Quote
370Ad Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Looks bloody beautiful. Yes its mine in a fancy frock but dam it looks better. Quote

Ekona Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 Given that there is a 'major' Nismo event and announcement on tomorrow in central London (see PH), I'll put my house on it being the UK launch of this. They didn't spend that much money on a complete refresh to simply launch it in just one territory. 1 Quote
