Nissan COO Ashwani Gupta spoke with Yahoo Finance today and confirmed that the new Z will have 400 horsepower!

At the 35 second mark of the video Gupta says "The new Z is having number one authenticity of being a sports car with all the history attached to the Z. This Z is all about performance with twin turbo V6 and 400 horsepower engine. It's about transmission, manual transmission as well as 9 speed auto."

3:25 mark of the video - The Z is launching in Spring 2022 and the base price is around $40,000.

Excellent find @THaskins!
$40,000 is more than I expected but still reasonable.

Spring 2022 with base price of $40k isn't bad. Time to save some money and finish up other projects.

Took some thunder out of tonight, but I’ll take it! Awesome news!

That is a HUGE increase from 24k brand new (based on 30k CAD for a 2020 model).

Really like the base to be closer to $35k honestly.

 

[go2zzz]

It’s not too bad but like other said, 35-37 should be the base

$40K is still a really good starting price especially when you compare it to the Q60 red sport with the same engine or other competitors like the Supra.

The Q60 is a premium car that mimicks European luxury.

The Supra is a European built powerhouse with the same torsional rigidity as a Lexus LFA.

Not really a direct comparison. Less money has gone into development than a BRZ/86, we gotta keep this in mind as well.

Well said.

It's hard for any car to be truly the best and the same holds true here. The Q60, Supra, Z and many others that compete with them are all great cars. It just comes down to what you really want out of a $40k sports coupe.

Here's some other info on the Z that Nissan shared recently.

It overlaps with a lot of what we've seen confirmed but is still great to see as it comes from this page.

Excellente trouvaille @THaskins !
40 000 $ est plus que ce à quoi je m'attendais mais reste raisonnable.

I mentioned this on Dan Passe's thread, but if the Sport model starts at $40K, this may be a problematic trim-offering strategy for Nissan. At least initially, we'll see what happens in the future. Given how they've chosen to group together the options packages into only two trim levels, they're essentially offering the new Z as either a "base," de-contented model or a "fully-loaded" model.

Given the vast disparity in content between the two, I can only imagine that the Performance model will cost around $50K which, to me, is too much to ask. You're already in 3.0L Supra territory, so where's the "affordability" there?

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, that is.
