Huh? Can't the new Z have 3.0, 6 cylinder with a turbo? Mercedes has a 2.0, 4 cylinder turbo putting out 355 horses that push a 3,500 lb car to 60 in 4.4 seconds.

Remember, Nissan also understands turbo engines, they got a 3.8, 6 cylinder pushing 595 horses. So a smaller 3.0 turbo with taller gearing in the high gears or a 7th gear could help Nissan increase its mpg ratings city & hwy plus improve power at the same time. Also an engine like this could be used to power the Infiniti line of cars in the USA as well. Keep in mind, Infiniti is already using the 2.0, 4 clyinder turbo in Europe already.
