Nissan officials have reportedly confirmed in interviews at the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show that successors to the marque's storied sports cars, the Z and GT-R, are in development.
Espinosa reportedly stated that Nissan is open to collaborating with other automakers on its sports cars, akin to how Toyota partnered with Subaru to produce the 86 and outsourced the Supra to BMW.
One element Nissan could play with is powertrain type, as Espinosa reportedly said that an electric Z is something that Nissan is "discussing all the time."
Regardless of what kind of powertrain the Z or GT-R use, Espinosa reportedly said that the public "can expect something soon."
Nissan is about exciting cars," Espinosa concluded.
