I assumed in my "Z35 motor theory thread", we'd be getting the v6 that's in the Mercedes c-class. It has twin-turbo and twin intakes. Has a lot of Nissans inherent technology. In the c class it's good for about 330hp. Im guessing it's a detuned v6 so it doesn't cut into AMG bi-turbo v8's.
330hp detuned could push 380-450hp tuned by Nissan. If the next Z is 3100-3200lbs with this kind of power? It will be insane.
What I also like about the Benz engine is that it produces significantly more torque than the VQ.

Out with the old. in with the new, im excited. My gut feeling is Nissan will reclaim it's thrown.
