Replacement on way for 350Z
Nissan is to update the 350Z.
Barely has the chunky coupé established itself as a must-drive car for petrolheads, than news emerges that Nissan is working on its replacement. There will also be a face-lifted 350Z Roadster launched early in 2006, according to Auto Express.
The new car, due in 2009, uses the current 350Z as its base and adds a more driver-focused chassis and greater grunt. The mag reports that Nissan's Olivier Paturet said he wanted the next Z to be more hardcore and aimed squarely at Porsche buyers.
Meanwhile, the tweaked roadster gets new headlamps, LED tail-lights, a revised front bumper and more toys all at no extra cost.
