First I think we're going to see a lot more turbo's and SCs across the board for sportier cars that attempt some claim to fuel economy, then hybrid versions later. Hybrid technology is getting better but it's not quite ready for mainstream sports car applications. The Fisker Karma and Porsche Panamera hybrid are paving the way however.
Well see it cuz infiniti has one hybrid and one fully electric sports car coming out veerrrry soon. If I'm not mistaken? The next gen G will have the 3.7hybrid as an option as well. I don't think the Z will stay using the VQ. I think the 3.0TT makes the most sense too.
