I was hoping that since Nissan and Mercedes Benz have an agreement for Nissan to use Mercedes engines that the next Z would have Mercedes' M276 DELA 30 or M276 DELA 35 (twin turbo V6s). Maybe Mercedes may have felt that would make the cars (including the Infiniti lineup) too competitive for Mercedes, and the agreement was Nissan to use their 4 cylinders.

Would like to see how much hp the new Nissan DI V6s make, and they still have their trademark howl sound.

Anyone know if these new DI V6s are new new, or based on the VQ?
