Enthusiasts Rejoice: Nissan Confirms That An 370Z Is On The Way

It would be the understatement of the week to say the 370Z is getting a bit long in the tooth. The two-seater rear-wheel-drive coupe has been around for close to a decade and that makes it one of the oldest sports car money can buy. Rumors of a much-awaited direct replacement have been piling up in recent months, but without any certainties – until now.

The Australian folks over at WhichCar had an interesting chat with none other than Alfonso Albaisa. In case the name doesn’t ring a bell, he’s Senior Vice President for Global Design at Nissan. The talented man behind the stunning Infiniti Prototype 9 and the equally gorgeous Infiniti Q Inspiration Concept admitted work on a new Z car is well underway and he is directly involved in the project:

At some point - people should realize that announcements by Nissans are not of real value - it has been quite a while since they made cars of exceptional character. Most of them are Ho-Hum - not particularly reliable - and of dubious value. I am sure that the picture above has nothing to do with this possible vehicle - we do not even know if they have final styling locked in yet - and it is possible that was done 5 years ago - and they are waiting for the market to catch up with their styling themes!!!

And like the 350Z and current 370Z it will be a total mess, with poor quality and poor reliability, and stupidly overpriced.

Why are the French allowed into the design studio?

They are hoping to find the successor to the person who designed this --> https://www.airspacemag.com/history-of-flight/Aviations-Sexiest-Racer-180952406/
