Saw this and wanted to share.

2.5l Turbo 4 Cyl. output @ 230kW = 308hp roughly. What do you guys think?

Looks like a fish with open mouth. Front like a dumb expression. Overdone lines..... Now all I we need is a 4 cyl:icon14: What to do? Get a Vette????:icon14:

:icon17: Exactly!

Clearly still a concept drawing. Real production car won't look anything like this. I do think we can gleen direction of the car.

I'd dump pig of a Z34 for a 2700 lb 300 hp turbo 4 Z any day. Better weight distribution, and perhaps that will be a real 300 hp as opposed to VQ37 that has a hard time putting much more than 270 WHP down and spins up slower than molasses. Power to weight of a 2700 lb 300 hp turbo car would be awesome. Faster than current Z and we would get decent fuel mileage too.

Last I checked 240 Z had an inline 6 and "tradition" was broken when they put v6 in the car. z really doesn't have any real power plant tradition. What I want from Nissan in a new Z is innovation not something that clings onto the past.

Name me a few turbocharged 4 cylinder rear wheel drive sports cars? They'd be breaking some ground in marketplace.

I just wish nissan would make a flex fuel version that allowed us to fill up with e85 and change tuning for track driving. Now that would be a green sports car.

Oh yeah Nissan. Please make sure to design a motor that doesn't overheat, put a real LSD in the car, fix ice brake issue, make a rear end that doesn't over heat on track days, and make a real traction control system with a sport mode. You can keep SRM though!

In the comment section of the article that had this car as a possible next Z:)

I think I wont be buying a 4 cylinder anything that is trying to be a sports car,
I don't care how "cool" it looks. If they do this I would be keeping my 370 for as long as possible.

I wont be confirming to the green scam BS willingly.

:facepalm:

All those angles will increase the COD along with gas usage. No way will this be the final Z car.

Awesome! I want to be the first one in line. Even the wheels resemble the original 240Z, yet with a futuristic touch!

Too bad that when production time comes, Nissan's bean counters will have scaled it back towards "ho-hum".

Regardless we will all find out come January Detroit Auto show.
