2021 400Z
Just based on presumptive specs. And when I say Supra price range I mean the whole range including the 4cyl to be clear. I could see the new Z base in the low 40's and upper trims at 60.

And what is it about the presumptive specs that dictate a $10k+ increase in price for the base model? For reference, the base 370Z starts at $30,090.

The 370z is 11 years old and limping off the dealer lots, is it even relevant?? A base Q60 is $41k while the 400hp Redline is $57K. Assuming they aren't just shortening the chassis like usual to make their sports car and possibly wanting to move up market their competition is the Supra. Introducing it at just over $40k with 400hp would be amazing.

They can design a luxury sports car like Toyota did with the Supra and call it the 400zx, or they can keep the luxury Nissan the GTR and have a cheaper sports car. This seems much more logical. With that said, the VQ was used in the Skyline/Infiniti G35+ and a million other Nissan models. Just because the VR is in other Infiniti models, and they are expensive, doesn't mean it needs to be expensive in the 400Z. You guys keep bringing up the Q60. Maybe I am missing something, but why not discuss the fact that the 300hp VR in the Q50 starts at $36.4k? If you look at Audi, BMW, Lexus, etc, they all sell the coupes more expensive than the sedans. This could be a volume thing. This could be that they put more tech or features into the coupes like a manual transmission option, but for the most part, they are $4-5k more expensive with the same stuff. This means that if they can put a 300hp VR motor in a $36.4k luxury sedan then they could put a 300+hp version of that motor in the 400Z for cheaper. My best guess is that the new 400Z will start at $32k with a 300-350hp VR. The options for different trims will go up to $40k. There will be a NISMO trim that starts around $45k, which will have a 400hp+ version of the VR. My guess is that they will want to keep the car inexpensive and low priced to undercut the Mustang GT and Camaro SS.

Some more garbage renderings. I bet it will have some type of "v grille" that nissan is so proud of. Yikes. Hopefully it is actually a good looking car at the end of it all. |

Just as a reminder, the C8 increased in price by $3,500 over the C7 with a new LT2 engine, a unique dual clutch transmission, and a unique mid engine platform along with a new body and interior.

The corvette is always a bespoke new chassis, and historically costs twice as much, and sells in much higher numbers. Quote:
The Q60 is the 2 door version of the Q50 |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_GM_platforms Yes. And? The 370Z is a coupe and shares its platform with sedans and bigger vehicles including the Q50 and Q60 currently. Just because the 370Z has two doors and so does the Q60 doesn't mean their prices are linked. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_FM_platform
