There’s no denying that Nissan wants to create something special with the 370Z’s replacement, and new reports suggests things could get better.

Borrowing styling cues from the Gripz Concept, the future Nissan Z will apparently remind people of the legendary 240Z, with the Japanese car manufacturer trying its best to integrate the appeal of the old model in the upcoming product. In fact, Nissan has its mind set to make the machine more modular, accessible and, most importantly, more affordable.

According to Autovisie, Nissan’s design boss, Mamori Aoki, said that the 370Z’s successor may be cheaper than the current generation, focusing at a younger audience – an approach that could have a positive effect and impact on the Z brand. Why? Because as appealing as sports cars can be, many customers (especially younger ones) can’t afford them; case in point, Nissan apparently sells most of its 370Zs to older people.

Moreover, by reducing the price on the future Z, the Nippon firm could create a window for a powerful model to fit between the aforementioned product and the GT-R. Either way, it seems like a win-win situation for the car company, and we can’t see Nissan dropping the ball on this one.
