They said those things a long time ago and they've said a lot of different things over the last few years. If nothing else, this engine would be in the Nismo at least. They already have this engine so that makes more fiscal sense than designing a new smaller turbo engine just fore the Z. It is also a smaller displacement turbo v6 which make sit lighter and more fuel efficient than the current gen so that makes sense and is in line with what they have said regarding weight and mpg. I am very confident this engine will find its way into a Z of some trim level. It may not be the base standard engine, but it will be in a Z unless Nissan suddenly unveils a new mid-level sports car to slot between the Z and the GT-R (which will become hybrid and even more $$$).
