370Z hybrid?

Rooster89 · 07-23-2011, 01:25 PM

Well if all these hybrid and electric supercars are any indication, the tech is there. the pricing however isn't. Like looking at that porsche 918 its possible to make a hybrid a droooooool worthy piece of bad@$$ery. but the price tag that goes with hybrid tech just isn't worth it yet IMHO. give it a couple years, it will be another sports car dark ages. then about 10 years down the road or so we will another sports car rent-assaince. followed by sports car golden years. etc etc etc

Once again, the tech doesn't belong to Nissan yet. They can't even make their own system, they had to source it from Toyota on the Altima...

To expound on unknowns comment, Nissan already has their own tech in production, as evidenced by the Infiniti M35h.

There's supposedly a few Z test mules with this same powertrain tooling about in the continental United States currently.

More on the VQ35HR coupled with two eletric engines (one for each rear wheel) generating approx 350+hp and 375+ tq:
