To me it looks like a cross between a Celica and a TT. I don't see much S 2000 in there. The brochure I picked up at the LA Autoshow was very lacking in hard specs. Has Nissan announced horsepower and torque specs on this car yet?

Nissan, in its pricing press release, stated 280+ Hp (translation: 280 Hp) and Road & Track estimated torque at approximately 253 ft-lbs @ 4900 (I think). . .

Other dimensions (from R&T):
Length - 169.7 inches
Width - 71.5 inches
Height - 51.x inches

Bottomline. . . this is one SWEET car!!!!

You can still see the lines of the old 240Z in this car. The 300ZX is history !

I think the car looks really sweet. Though the back looks much like the Lexus SC 430 (??)...I don't really care much for the back, but the power is starting to sound really good

After having seen the car in person, I can honestly say that the pictures simply don't do it justice. It is absolutely gorgeous, and looks nothing like a TT or an S2000. In fact, I'm currently trying to decide between an S2000 and the 350Z, and after looking at the Spa Yellow at Detroit, the styling looked dull and uninspiring. Of course, the Z had perfect lighting and everything, but truly it just looked awesome.

It will be a tough decision as to which to get as the Z is not a roadster, but it should be a phenomenally awesome sports car. Perhaps Nissan's best ever.
