GranTurismoEra Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 In 2011 I worked in Charity shops. It seemed like people were getting rid of as many VHS tapes as possible. We had 100s come through. Couldn't even offload them for 50p at one point. VHS players would sit around for ages. My guess is they got shipped abroad and sold elsewhere lol. But a Vhs or betamax player will become more expensive for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outer shell body has been rendered well imo I think the lights might look better and be more appreciated with the car running/lights active rather then parked Did you notice the double lights on the sketch almost like a glass fascia across the whole rear. It will most likely be a cgi render on the 16th. Its being called a prototype. I doubt any interior will be shown Interior wise id like a slim dash with circular vents and nicer material inside. No cheap plastic. A cleaner center console maybe use some aluminium and better materials, alcantara for leg rest. A screen and AC controls. No more clutter. No cup holder in the way.

hmale4yu Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Its looking a bit inoffensive (if that's a word?) - hopefully not too dull.. Until the Nismo version hopefully there will be some interesting wheels and colours to make the car stand out more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Well I've finally made up my mind if this is it ... I like it ... apart from the wheels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Has it got about 400 PS ? - Is it <£35K ? - I'll take one in Midnight Blue please 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee370Z Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I wasn't that sure when I first saw it, but the more I look at it the more I like it. Agree with you regards the wheels too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 1 hour ago, ATTAK Z said: Has it got about 400 PS ? - Is it <£35K ? - I'll take one in Midnight Blue please Adjusting for inflation from when the 370 came out, a price around £45k would be about right. Cayman S is £55k before options, and given the price differences in 2009 between the two I reckon that sounds about right. That said, a 370Z Nismo is just over £40k new now so maybe that’s what they’ll be aiming at. That puts it smack in the super high 5 year tax bracket though, which may not be the right way to go. But who knows, after all it’s looking likely to be a 370 with a different engine underneath so given how cheap it’s been to create they may allow them to be flexible with the cost. £39,995 would be ideal.

ATTAK Z Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Yes Dan, my thoughts exactly ... keep it under £40K without any extras to add taking the price over the threshold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmale4yu Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Infiniti Q60 3.0ts came to the UK market at £41/42k as far as I recall and then dropped to £37 ish ball park. So £40k would be prob be slightly optimistic yet realistic figure for the new Z should it be of a similar spec to the Q60 - worth noting of course that Nissan would prob save a fair bit by not having the steer by wire, as many driver safety aids and full upscale leather interior on the new Z compared to the Q60 that it will be based off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranTurismoEra Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 £39,999 Thats going to be tough. Priced against a Z40! Its 5-9k cheaper. New Supra without discount is £54,000. Some stuff to look at . Exhaust note was in the video towards the end. No pops and bangs from the sounds of it like the Supra and Z40! At £39,999 and £34,000 as an Ex Demo Id say somewhat of a great price tbh. Its a heavy facelift + different engine + slightly better interior for same price I dont think anyone can complain Its cheaper by £15,000 than a Supra. My honest opinion is that the car will cost £43,000-£45,000 with not much options to choose from as theyll be loaded. Take it or leave it kind of thing. Ill be shocked if its £39,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
