It is apparently Nissan's answer to the 86. NISMO version is supposed to have a 1.6l engine. I wonder if this concept is too retro for the younger audience they would pitch this at?

Edit: Does anyone else think it looks like a cross between a modern Camaro and tC?

I agree, I think it will look to retro for the younger age groups to like it compared to the styling to the FR-S/BRZ.


It's to square and bold for my taste. I read rumors about 2 options for the powerplant. 4 pot turbo & V6.

At first I thought is kind of weird looking until I watched the creation video. I like it. If they keep the price under 20,000 it should do rather well with attracting younger buyers. I would have been all over this 4-5 years ago.

Is this the same as the Z35 concept or is this another RWD car to slot in under the next Zed? Rumors were we would be seeing the 370Z replacement at this show too.

This is the entry-level FT86 challenger that was rumored. I'm glad Nissan went back 40 years and pulled out the 510, and even made the Nismo version stunning!

My hope: 1.6L turbo for overseas market... and perhaps a 1.6L I-4 turbo + destroked VQ engine as an option.

Either way, it's a good time to be an enthusiast!

It does look pretty good but might be a little under powered for the things in it's class for what's out now; like the Mini, FR-S,

if it ends up looking more like the 510 I will buy it. but only because the 510 is one of my dream cars.

i like it. adds a nice touch to the market. im sure nissan enthusiasts will love it. not everyone has the dough to purchase a Z, even though the price is being axed. the styling is retro and bold. light and fun is apparent here.

Unless they are doing something like bringing back the S platform, it seems inevitable that it would be too heavy...
