"That doesn't mean that we are going to be limiting it to there. This is the first step of development, which are these three markets, but absolutely not excluding other high growth markets or other emerging markets from the range of Datsun," he added.

please nissan... a new 240z and you might as well just pay this guy for this render and make it

It would be nice to see another sport coupe but they will probably mess it up by making it a hybrid.

I'd be surprised if they did. Nissan is already planning the return of the S Chassis so why in the world would they drop a hybrid in a new 240z? Then again, you never know. Who knew that the hybrid obsessed Toyota could manage a car like the 86?

I couldn't help but think of the CR-Z. After the love affair I had with my CRX it sure was a big let down.

That design... I'm not feeling it. Feels like 240z was bondo up by Xzibit or something

iono I think the CR-Z is pretty cool, it just needs 1500rpm more on the top end. Well, not exactly, the SOHC nonsense would be pretty limiting. Of course, Honda is too cheap to make another performance engine. 2400lbs or whatever is nothing to scoff at though, considering it's pretty beefed up for modern safety standards. It's also a pretty "tall" 2 seater car heh.

EDIT nevermind it's same weight as an FRS.

Seems like that model image is super old. I know I have seen it before now.

FT-86GOD · 09-29-2012, 07:29 AM
