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.
Well said.

all i know is the city stop and go mpg needs to be better than a V8. Right now its on the same level if not worse.

I know you're talking about the current marketplace, but there was one recently. I don't think the powerplant is why it failed, though.

Beyond that, you'd probably have to go back to the Porsche 944, which wasn't a bad little car.

Yes, its a sports car..and gas mileage should not really matter, however, when a v8 gets better mileage..that's not cool. Anyways..that new concept pic whatever looks like a sls AMG .
..I hate "concepts" ..talk to me when the real thing is out, then I will judge.

Even though it would never happen I'd like to see Nissan keep the current v6 Z and also produce an awd 4 cylinder turbo rally type car to compete with the wrx.

Too bad that when production time comes, Nissan's bean counters will have scaled it back towards "ho-hum".
These were the hubcaps on the original 240z.

The new 2016 370 will be a V6, becoming green by running exclusively on California Prius owners farts.
An added bonus is that Priusians are primarily vegan and vegetarian, which, of course, has a much higher octane level.

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.

olddudesrule 08-25-2013 04:09 PM
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.
