Hybrid z35

Nissan and Daimler Reportedly Set Up Mexican Joint Venture to Build Next-Gen GLA, Infinitis - Carscoops

Ive come across a couple articles the last few days about this, and Im fairly confident there will be at least two versions of the Z35, one being a hybrid.

If the hybrid is used correctly, we should all be on board. They're not turning it into a Prius. If they use the system to give it more torque under 4k rpm, is that a bad thing?

Hell no!!! I for one am excited to see it go that route. Performance will be better than a 370z while getting a REAL 30 MPG.

No, I'm teasing.

Recent work has shown that a hybrid can produce a lot of power. And adding weight to the back would make an interesting change to handling.

Yeah, but there's going to be a bunch of people chiming in with hybrid hate. I love the idea, but I'll reserve judgement on the execution. Instant torque at all rpm from an electric motor? Yes please.

One of those is from 2010 so a bit out of date, and the partnership with Mercedes seems to be more for Infiniti which is completely different.

Perhaps 911 like? Maybe...certainly not old 991 911 snap over-steer, but maybe 997 or new 991. All that weight in the back plus under-steer with front....sounds really interesting.

which one? I filtered by date, "past month".

ehhhh feck, i see it now. Forget it...nothing to see here, move along, move along.

The top speed article was posted in 2010.

It'll be funny to see who chimes in bitching about hybrids and completely ignores the really scary part- the "built in Mexico" part.

I can't see a negative to hybrid. To Chuck's point the instant torque is awesome. Just doing my part to hold off Rush's Red Barchetta future...I'll miss the roar! ...I'm getting old. Haha.
