Seattle Z enthusiasts, listen up! Word on the street is that a replacement for the 370Z could debut in the next two years. This news comes from leaked info from Nissan senior officials, which was published in theÂ U.K.'s Autocar magazine.Â

Dubbed the 400Z, the coupe is expected to be unveiled in 2019 - the same year as the original Z's 50th anniversary. The new car is not expected to hit dealerships until 2020.

While Alfonso Albaisa, Nissan Design Chief, and Phillipe Klein, Chief Planning Officer, have advocated for a Z-car successor, the rumors from speculators confirm that the new Z has been locked-in for production and that it will be a twin of Infiniti's Q60. The car will reportedly share the same engine and platform, boasting the Q60's 399-horsepower 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, as well as a longer wheelbase. A Nismo tuned version might also be available, offering all-wheel drive and 475 horsepower.

Sounds exciting, right? Our team at Kirkland Nissan will keep our ears to the ground for more news about an upcoming 400Z. In the meantime, you can browse our online inventory to check out our in-stock 2018 370Z coupes by clicking here. To schedule a test drive, contact us today.

Seattle 370Z Fans Watch on as Nissan Unveils the 370Zki in Chicago

Just when you think youâ€™ve seen it all, Nissan has turned its iconic 370Z Roadster into a snowmobile. Thatâ€™s right â€“ a snowmobile. Dubbed the 370Zki â€“ pronounced â€œ370-Ski" â€“ the 332-horsepower concept will make its world debut this week at the 2018 Chicago Auto Show.

And what better place to unveil a snowmobile-inspired vehicle than in the â€œWindy Cityâ€ in the dead of winter. Should Chicago get plummeted with a blizzard, the 370Zki will have no trouble carving its way through deep powder to reach McCormick Place.

However, transforming a stock 370Z to the 370Zki was not easy. To make room for the rear DOMINATOR Tracks, the Roadsterâ€™s entire drivetrain had to be removed. Next came the fabrication of custom mountings for the rear suspension springs and three-inch custom spacers to install the snow tracks to the wheel hubs. The 370Zâ€™s brakes were retained, but the lines had to be rerouted and the exhaust system was modified to fit under the vehicle. The rear wheel wells were also altered for clearance of the four-foot-long snow tracks.Â

On the exterior, Nissan kept its cosmetic changes to a minimum, opting to wrap the 370Zki to resemble ski goggles. Watch as it is put through its paces on the slopes in Wyoming:

Are you wanting to hit the â€œZnowâ€ in a 370Zki? One can only dream since this concept car will likely never hit production. Alas, spring will soon be here â€“ why not test drive a 2018 370Z from Kirkland Nissan instead? To learn more, contact our team today.
