The hell is this, I wouldnt even waste my money on this ****. Actually wasting my time even talking about it. Done deal. Bye.:roflpuke2:

:icon18:

Not a fan of the looks and don't know how accurate this is but some of the specs are interesting. The size and weight reduction sound good. A factory turbo conservatively tuned from the factory might be after market tuneable to the mid/upper 300s which would be pretty good for a car that weighs around 2800lbs would def be faster than what we have now and less weight will make it more tossable regardless of power. s2ks do great at the track with a lot less power than our cars. A turbo 6 is doubtful becasue they don't want to get close tot he GT-R. Anyhow, this is all speculaiton at this point. We will wait to see what actually comes out.

Not feeling that nor this supposed Maxima concept.....they will be be way out there if these designs make it to production.

Jesus, all the hating going on. I actually kind of like it. Reminds me of my old 240. Surely the actual car will be a tamer rendition, and who the hell knows what power plant will sit between the fenders. As for the 4 cylinder vs. 6 cylinder, some of you need to get up to speed on performance technology.....no need to fear the 4.

I like the FI potential of the 370Z to make big numbers... that said the new Z will probably stock for stock outperform the 370Z

I like it personally.

Listen, I am all for sports car, don't care that much about saving gas for the little driving I do, but calling it a hoax? C'mon on now :gtfo2:

does this thing transform into a robot or? :confused:

Please Nissan, no 4 cylinder. As far as the design goes, I'm sure it won't look like that.

I like the look of that concept, tone down and smooth out the character lines on the side, fix the nose so it has a better grill and doesn't look so goofy, then they really have something there.

No 4 bangers though. Just no.

Before you wish someone lose their job, think about what having a factory turbo means.

Think Supra or Evo.

Easy, cheap HP with minimal hassle.

And tell them its a V4? No. Just no.

The 2010 base mustang had a V6 with 210 HP where the 2011 base mustang had a V6 with 305 HP (5 more than the 2010 GT with a V8). I have no problem with a smaller engine if the car is faster. Technology can be a wonderful thing.

As far as concept drawing go, this was a concept drawing of the C6 corvette:
http://store.corvettemuseum.com/imag...T_CCD_2005.jpg
So I doubt the final car will look anything like the drawing.

I don't care how they do it but all I need is this.

1. Car is lighter than it is now (by a good amount, not like 50 lbs)
2. Car is faster than it is now.
2a. slight power bump via DI with a lot of weight reduction (still NA v6 so those who want big power can still after market turbo it)
2b. Close or lower power with big weight reduction ie smaller turbo engine like in this article IF it is relatively easily and inexpensively tuneable to more hp than what we currently get with full bolt-ons
4. It needs to look at least as good as it does now.
5. Obviously resolve fuel starve problems, etc.

Bottom line, make it a better car. I don't care what's under the hood as long as it's a better with better tunability. Having a v6 as an otption is actually a great idea for those who need the displacement for max power with an after market turbo set up. The turbo 4 would be great for everyone else who are just doing bolt-ons with their current Zs as long as it can get us a lot more than we currently can NA.

I know a boosted version would please 99% of this forum

Low blow post excuse me...

Give me this 4 cylinder Nissan and I'll be good :P this is a new GT500 spec race car with a turbo 4

Beautiful, please feel free to edjamacate yourself and come back later... They have I4s...

Hate to tell you this. But that's an old picture of a GT-R with the V6. Seen it about 2 years ago. ;) Believe it was on Playstation too.

:icon17:

I like where the concept is going. It's still a bit raw and needs refinement, but I like the direction towards a futuristic version of the 240Z. I especially like the roof line and more slender body. They need to retain the wide rear end though. That's the best angle of the 370Z. What I don't like are all the crazy lines and angles on the panels. It doesn't need it and I doubt most of it will make it to the production car. It reminds me of the GT-86 Concepts. Also, this doesn't look like a Nissan designer created it. More like a very creative artist. I wouldn't put too much thought into it, including all the hate. It's one of the better renderings we've seen so far.

Next Z with a 4 cylinder, smaller, and looks riced out. Pass

:owned: I think that's the car they unveiled last week or the week before alongside the new Lexus and Acura NSX.

There hasn't been a V4 for production cars since the 1960's.

Care to try again?

Disappointed. The styling sucks. The original S30 was meant to be the "one and only." Nissan is wimping it down: 4 banger turbo? How about a 6 cyl hybrid instead?

...I'm gonna buy a used 40th anniversary down the road. Or maybe a clean z32 tt or FD3S with a LS7 swapped.

nice....

initially thought you dun said ejaculate yourself...no homo tho.

Yeah, looks like it was on the 16th of this month. Idk what Rusty was trying to say.

NISSAN MOTORSPORTS | 2013 Press Release

I don't know man. There be V2s out there. Someone might get a hair up their yang and add a couple more pistons. Then Voila! V4 BABY! :driving:



EDIT: Feel free to flame me for this. ;)

there's also the genesis coupe with the 4cyl turbo, but not sure if one would consider that a "sports car".

Always funny reading those crazy comments by people.

New Nissan Z Car, Code-Named Z35, in Pipeline - Motor Trend

As long as it has a distinct exhaust note and more horse than the current Z, I'm all for it.

All Going "Stupid"... :owned:

Hey here's a couple of ideas,

1. Why don't we take the Corn that we grow, and turn it into fuel ....!

2. Let's cut all Carbon Dioxide emissions to zero, that includes human breathing, then expect Trees and other Greenery to grow more prevalent!

World 'saved'.... :icon18:

My old Silvia S15 that I had before my Z had no problems keeping up with the 370. It wouldn't worry me going to a turbo 4.

I've seen that picture before. Thought it was about 2 years ago. :icon14:

Next Nissan Z Scooped
 

Funny actually

1. We do already and the outcome is shitty gas and higher food prices.

2. Without CO2, all trees and other greenery will die, as they "breath" CO2 and produce what we need.

While the Z doesn't have any particular 6 cylinder configuration. Having 6 cylinder in any configuration is tradition. I'm hoping to either see a serious weight reduction on the 6 power plant as well as chassis weight or break the 6 tradition for a well engineered turbo 4. I would break tradition of the 6 for an ultra-modern turbo 4.

The render op posted is as relevant as a C&D article. Nissan never really leaks anything more than there rough sketch drawings when it comes to the Z. When they have a masked pre-production Z. That will be our first true hint at the next Z.
The render isn't horrible but like the C7 corvette. That render has too many forced lines.

Another article about the new Z....:shakes head:
