Hmmmm. Hopefully TT. It would have to be to get the power. Hopefully direct port injection too.

Maybe I need to put the Amuse kit on hold and make a trade for the new Z in 2-3 years.

(My car ('13) didn't even arrive yet....

A well engineered twin-scroll single turbo would work just as well and keep weight & cost down.

true, but it would also depend on how this new 3 litre engine that they say is in the works is designed too...for all we know a single turbo might not work as efficiently on it

Looks like an Aston.

Hmm. I will read this with great interest.

Having now read it: I doubt we'll get a diesel here -- no love for them in the US. A souped up/FI'd 3.0 engine could work, provided they trim st least 100 lbs off of the Z.

I can't imagine they'd make one that is slower than he current one, so whatever the final hp/tq figures, I think it's safe to say they will be looking for overall performance improvements wherever they can.

It's interesting how many different cars can be seen in a concept pre-production model.

From that pic I see 5 different cars as inspiration...

So far though, not impressed.

That picture is from somebody's imagination at the GT Channel. So forget about even thinking that is going to be anything like the new Z when it comes out.
