I think a hybrid Z would be silly. From my understanding a hybrid would add considerable weight and not add any more power than what could be added with turbos. Thus, it is a compromise.
An electric Z could be good. While the batteries would be heavy, they could be placed almost anywhere in the car and distributed however you wanted them to be. No oil changes would also be a cool feature. And if you could put motors on each wheel you could have a killer all-wheel drive set-up. It could be created to be similar to the GTR's ATTESA system.
The 370Z is pure sex! It is hot, loud, and rough!

I have no idea how much the weight would increase if they made the Z a hybrid, but depending on how much the power increased with how much weight it added (and where of course) and if they could get set the suspension to handle the extra weight, this could be very benificial to not only the car, but the entire segment going forward.
I suspect that done properly, a hybrid would "outperform" a basic TT Z from the DD standpoint. On a track, I would think the opposite would be true just because the batteries would run out of juice.
And.....think about a TT, hybrid Z... That's like... a pipe und a crepe.
