According to Wheels, the next Z-car is in development. The online publication spoke with Nissan's Senior Vice President of Global Design, Alfonso Albaisa, who claims that planning for the next-gen Z is already underway.Â

â€œThe Z-car, oh my god. Huge pressure,â€ said Albaisa in the interview when reviewing the to-do list of Nissan design work. â€œYou can imagine Iâ€™m completely excited that I am in the position to work on that.â€ And there truly isnâ€™t a better person for the job. Albaisa has developed a series of Nissan and INFINITI show cars over his 31 years with the automaker.Â

The Drive has also reported that the next Z-car will follow in the footsteps of the Toyota-BMW partnership, which resulted in the rebirth of the Toyota Supra and a new-gen BMW Z4 â€“ both of which share the same platform and drivetrain. As with the platforms that underpin the current Infiniti QX50 and QX30, the next Z-car may share a platform co-developed with Daimler.Â

Little more is known right now, but The Drive is speculating that Nissan will reveal the new Z-car at the Tokyo Motor Show in October with a production-ready variant hitting the stage at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show. If all goes well, a new Z-car could be available in dealership showrooms by 2020.
