A new, more "sports car" mustang is also on the horizon and I doubt ford would dare get rid of the V8.

If they can get it to around 3K lbs even, a 300 hp motor would make it faster than the current Z with less power.

300 bhp put of a (>2.0) turboed 4 is very doable.

I'm thinking 3100 lbs, 310 bhp turbo 4 OR 3250 lbs 350 bhp NA V6.

Then it's just a matter of selecting your preferred flavor.

Maybe a turbo option would make it 'feel' faster (as oposed to the flat torque curve on the current). Also maybe a turbo option would make it easier to upgrade? As long as the sports car spirit of the car is retained, and its a great driving experiance, ill buy it. No need for pushing big performance numbers or being practical, thats what the GTR is for.

Cars that turbo from factory are always easier to extract power from. Just turn up the boost and its gg.

Hoping the rumors are true and the next Z is based off Esflow concept.

OMGiGOTaZ · 10-20-2012, 09:47 PM

I'm sorry but that car is

dweedlebug · 10-20-2012, 10:10 PM

To me, the Esflow looks like some odd mixup of a Saturn Sky and a current Mazda6 / RX8.

Those buldging wheel arches stand out a bit too much for my taste and the arse is oddly abrupt, bubbled and lifted.

I'm soooo biased, but I think the current 370Z (in any trim) is about as visually impressive as the Z has ever been.

Will it change, sure it will. Hopefully a tad lighter and a tad more powerful. Only time will tell.

I just know this is a great time to own one of these machines.

if the Z becomes 4cyl turbo my days of being a fan are over.

the esflow makes me wann vommit.

brucelidat · 10-23-2012, 09:38 PM

the esflow is pretty hideous in my opinion

brucelidat · 10-23-2012, 09:39 PM

now the Infiniti Essence concept would be great for base the next Z off of.

nissan i just dont' get them

370Zvetlana · 03-10-2013, 10:04 PM

is it not odd that we're in march and still no word about a 2014 370z? (aside from the nismo)

HKYStormFront · 03-10-2013, 11:15 PM

i doubt there will be many changes this year, i think the majority of the changes will be MY2015
