not sure if this is a repost:

NISSAN Z: DEVELOPMENT OFFICIALLY STARTS! | GT Channel

Leuz · 04-02-2013, 05:54 PM

The concept shape looks neat, I love the current one tho. And man... a diesel?

Z_ealot · 04-02-2013, 06:37 PM

do i smell the exhaust of a 3.0 litre turbo coming back our way?

SPOHN · 04-02-2013, 06:44 PM

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

Amuse370z · 04-02-2013, 07:00 PM

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

Jordo! · 04-02-2013, 07:08 PM

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.

martin82 · 04-02-2013, 08:16 PM

I want a v6 TT then i'll trade up, I could careless for mpg!

peleincubus · 04-02-2013, 08:19 PM

So is this probably coming out in 2015 as a 2016 model?? Sounds far away

ZKraken22 · 04-02-2013, 08:22 PM

sounds and looks good!!

UruZai · 04-02-2013, 10:32 PM

That actually looks pretty good!

I wonder if they are still gonna make the "mini" Z...

XwChriswX · 04-02-2013, 11:25 PM

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.

JungleZ · 04-02-2013, 11:41 PM

What do you guys think the price will be

Rusty · 04-02-2013, 11:56 PM

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.
