According to a report from Australia, the next Z will be called the Z35 and will be a significant departure from the current Z, as Nissan hopes to make it appeal to markets outside the U.S. and Japan. It’s also expected to be smaller and lighter than the current model. Under the hood, it’s being reported that there will be a four-cylinder and a V6 option.
