I’m watching right now and he mentions “the full 400 horsepower” version. Which to me says the base will have less.
He also wouldn’t say the starting price begins with a 3. So maybe we’re looking at just over $40,000 for a 300hp version? Can’t decide if that’s a good value or not, and honestly shouldn’t even speculate until these are actually driven.
Both the Sport (base) and Performance version will have 400Hp 350Tq. It's been said by Nissan multiple times and you can see the spec sheet below.When I listen it sounds like 400 is base and there could be a version with more.
Here's hoping 400 is base, performance gets a bump to 410 and nismo around 450When I listen it sounds like 400 is base and there could be a version with more.
Good call. Perhaps he’s talking about an as yet to be announced lower tier model, or I misinterpreted his words to suggest there would be a lower power model.Both the Sport (base) and Performance version will have 400Hp 350Tq.

That’s what I got out of it as well. The tone and body language hinted NISMOOr maybe he's referring to the Nismo being tuned for higher power.
I agree. I thunk it’s ugly. Not sure why people like it.Alfonso did a great job on the new Z.
Supra? I would not pay for that ugly styling even if it has MSRP of $30k.
Maybe it is just me.
It is an over-styled piece of work, the Supra.
Not to mention the BMW reliability. Good luck to the owners.
I think the new 86 will come in at $26k MT and $27k AT. Everyone is saying $40k for a base Z, so I don't think the 86 has to worry about anything. The 2.0 Supra on the other hand... ?Great interview! One thing I got from it is that Toyota may not only have to worry about the sales for the Supra but possibly the new 86/Subaru BRZ if the price starts south of $40k getting into the $3X,XXX.00. One could look at it as a true BRZ "STi" that everyone has asked for if you will. Obviously the extra pounds will be there with the new Z compared to an 86/BRZ but so will an extra 172 HP/166 lb ft tq. I'm sure someone looking for a bit more power will be tempted to go the Z route for $5K-10K more instead of a $20k+ upgrade for the Supra with no manual option.
