If I had to bet I would say it will definitely be a 315 hp or slightly more 4 cylinder turbo with a weight of 2850 pounds with direct injection which should be able to get around 31 mpg highway 24 city. This combo also should yield a 0-60 time of around 4.2 seconds making it faster and more economical then the current Z.
Kia has a car that may come out with a 315 hp rear drive 4 cylinder turbo... I can't see nissan letting Kia win that battle.
Also tuners now are able to boost a car on higher compression successfully so the car could have a 10:5:1 ratio and be boosted at 18psi with a good size turbo but not too large to cause a big lag and achieve those numbers.
This is a lot better then shoving electric motors on an NA car like what was talked about a year or so ago.
