After tonight, all the speculation and all the rumors about the next-generation Z-car end.
Starting at 8:00 p.m. Eastern tonight, August 17, Nissan will officially unveil the 2023 Nissan Z.
Watch the reveal below or at this link.
Before the big event, have any last-minute predictions or wagers?
Been waiting weeks for this. Hoping it doesn't suck.
Man......a modern drivetrain with a 240z body would be great, like......as close as humanly possible would be great.

Concur, but it will be a fat turd as all modern cars have become. I still hope it will be cool, I am looking forward to it.
I thought some photos were leaked a few months ago and it looked like a slightly updated 350...I mean 370z?
If the numbers, specs, and design survives from the prototype in some fashion I predict big success for it. Good looks and great HP/Weight ratio make it look like a contender. Potentially something I'd even buy new.
If it isn't sub 3,000lbs, I won't even ever bother knowing anything more about it.
In reply to LeftLaneLoser :
Prepare for disappointment. I suspect that it'll be north of 380hp, but 3300+ lb.
Horsepower has killed the sports car, but I'll save that for another thread.
In reply to captdownshift (Forum Supporter) :
crash safety ratings and pedestrian impact ratings have killed the sports car.
In reply to MrChaos :
I'm going to disagree. 400+ horsepower 3700+ lb things that often shift themselves go in a straight lines at stop lights and a lack in confidence that breeds toxicity masculinity have killed the sports car.
How many people like the BRZ/86 but say they won't consider it, but would if it had 30-50% more horsepower.
Young men with enlistment bonuses aren't financing sportscars at 27% APR...

I bet you are right sadly.
I remember talking to someone about cars and he mentioned a near 3800lb car as lightweight so maybe all of us here arent the majority too.
I want a 2800lb car with the VK56VD @ 420hp. I won't get it.
3400 lbs, 400 HP, $40k is my prediction.
3.0-liter, twin-turbo V6 rated for 400 horsepower ad 350 lb.-ft. of torque mated to either a six-speed manual or nine-speed auto available.
Here's a few photos while I wait for the full kit to download:
Also, manual transmission, huh? GTR owners look on in disgust.
Love the rear end, though.
Good with the looks but how much does it freak weigh?
That blue one is teh sex
So far I like but we dragging it out.
I feel like being a dick tomorrow and showing up at my local Nissan dealer with cash in my hand. I'm here to order a Z.....
Those headlights are a miss.
Wanna see auto vs mt numbers.
Yay for the manual!
Yay for the analog gauges!
Boo for the digital instrument cluster
Wait, WHAT WAS THE ONE THING?!
The crowd cheered when they announced 6 speed manual standard but auto available.
