More info on the next 370Z

Yea....I know. Only thing "new" in this "article" was a firm number, 408. Sounds fishy.

I agree, I'm pretty much not going to believe anything until it's confirmed by Nissan.

Well agreed but... just because you have inside information does not make one a writer.

408 just sound right for a "modern" factory 3.0L turbo and in IMO what the platform needs to compete in the horsepower wars. (It is also about what the 3.0L TT 2015 Porsche Panamera S has). With the weight savings and up 58 HP from the Nizmo you would have quite the beast.

Nice find. Can't wait to see what it looks like.

originally when all the talk about nissan ditching the V6 for a 4 banger i wrote off ever getting another Z.

now with the rumors of a turbo V6 and possible targa top my interest has peaked more than i could have imagined. if nissan comes through with a 400hp turbo 6cyl and a targa top i will be first in line lol

the big ticket would still be the turbo engine. look at all the 370's that go boost and have nothing but trouble. NA motors just arent meant to be boosted sometimes lol now you take a turbo stock engine and you can play

this has more to do with the iDX, but it does mention a tidbit about the iDX being built on the next gen Z chassis which is extremely good news for the weight part of the equation since they have said the iDX is going to be under 2700lbs or somewhere close....... Nissan Will Build IDx Coupe, But With Styling Changes - Boldride.com

All I had to read was "nothing yet for now is not officially confirmed"

No matter what a smart man should have 3 to 4 years to wait before purchasing the new Z. We still don't know when it's going to come out and even once it does only a fool would buy it in the first 2 years of being out. Way I see it, a 50th year sounds just right

there isn't a "safe" car out there once you take it over a certain speed. Once you hit triple digit speeds, every car is pretty much a driving coffin.

I assume the 4 cylinder turbo option will happen and a naturally aspirated v6 will be the premium.

The other thing is develop your own engine Nissan please don't put an engine from an unreliable car maker. It is the heart ad soul of the car.... i can hear it now..so you drive a Nissan with Benz motor.

How about we put a little money forward like you did on the gtr which was a huge risk and create either a beastly 4 cylinder turbo motor or in line 6 turbo motor and make all Z owners happy to buy one.

This is my vent to Nissan if they are listening... lol

the V6 will be boosted by reports and rumors so far. but yes still from benz.

i agree on them building their own.

now thinking about a new version of the RB26DETT from the R34 in the Z35
