Also says in a related article the current 3.7 VQ will be reworked and implemented for the new G. Sounds like DI?

Lately they're talking about more power...370z RS. Not convinced they'll do it, but glad they're leaning this way vs. smaller. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/03/amyhureg.jpghttps://m.facebook.com/?refsrc=http%...user=606345512

This is what we know about infiniti.
Infiniti G37 next generation rumors and information, we diagnose MotorTrends latest insider interview in understanding changes to the Infiniti G in 2014 and 2015

This is what we know about Nissan.

It seems the Infinti line-up is going much more upscale while the Nissan is trying to make the Z more accessible. Infiniti will upgrade the v6 while nissan is looking into lighter weight powerplants. My guess is they are going two different ways.

Best case scenario. The Z will have a v6 and a turbo 4. but from what i can gather. The "FM platform" chassis is going to die in the next generation. So expect the Z and G relationship to drift apart.
