Nissan 370Z Successor to Bow at Tokyo Motor Show
A successor to the Nissan 370Z will bow at the Tokyo Motor Show this Fall, shrinking in both size and weight.
Described as a successor to the 240SX, the car has reportedly been confirmed for the Tokyo show by Nissan development boss Andy Palmer and will arrive in concept form first.
While down-sized, in both dimensions and mass, that same philosophy will be applied to the size of the engine, but not its output. A turbocharged 4-cylidner is expected to make its way under the hood, with power staying close to the 330 hp mark of the current car.
As a concept, the show car may in fact sport an electric power train which could (or could not) find its way into a production model.
Likely to arrive some time next year in production trim, the car should go on sale in 2015, with Palmer confirming a high-performance NISMO model to follow.

Nissan needs to poll and see this car looks non appealing and I think them bagging on Toyota and subaru just makes them look stupid. Ya both are under powered but don't look this bad
Not a bad design. Much better than the current Nissan Z car. Clearly they subcontracted the desing to the Mazda design team, but it's much better than anything else from Nissan in decades.
