I was just going to thread this...
Well this confirms the multiple Z engines for the Z.
It also comfirms that the upper end Z will go further upmarket. The next gen Z may start @ 40k+ while the smaller Z starts @ 28k-32k.
What i hope. The smaller Z produces equal hp as our current Z in a 4cyl turbo engine
The upscale Z gets at least 400hp on a 3,000lb chassis.
Considering the Q50 has a 3.5litre hybrid engine. I'm hoping the Z gets the mercedes 3.5 turbo engine with the hybrid motor attached in order to compensate for the needed 400hp. If they can do all of that on the 3.5 on a 3000-3100lb chassis, that'll do major justice.
LETS HOPE Nissan isn't that fvckin' vstupid to make an FWD version of a Z and expect it to compete against a FRS. That would be highly idiotic.
