I don't know at this point. I highly doubt Nissan will come out with the V8 Z. If I remember correctly, around July-July, there were a lot talk going on after He (Shinjiro Yukawa) said

In an interview with Z34 Chief of Production Shinjiro Yukawa last month, Best Car did us all the favor of finding out that Nissan's new 370Z could come in a V8 with a special edition model.
Yukawa mentioned that he wanted to raise the perforamance of the new Z, and acknowledged the Porsche Cayman S as its main competitor, which gives us even more confidence that the V8 may very much be within reach. The suspension is expected to come with double wishbones up front and muli-links in the rear, along with upgraded brakes that include 6-pot and 4-pot Brembo calipers along with larger disks in the Version S and ST models.
