A 1.6 or 2.0 liter engine doesn't sound right. Way too small for the Z car. Nissan if I remember correctly was patenting a 3.0T name or something. That sounds more legitimate, and for the Z to drop the V6 after all these years, it's practically it's signature trait that's been there for 40yrs. I'm looking at a small displacement in the V6 with a Turbo.

If Nissan plans on downsizing the Z to compete with the FT86 (and possible BRZ turbo) then it makes sense.

The question is will we get a Mini Z AND a big Z or are they just planning on a complete downsizing of the car.

Well either way, they wanted to downsize the Z. If not dimension wise then at least in terms of weight.

I shouldn't have used the word downsize. I meant to drop it down to a different segment of car.

THIS. I think the best possible way to make this whole thing happen is to make a Z that meets the BRZ and a bumped up Z (370 with a bit more more power - closer to the V8 pony cars) to meet that market.

Hyundai is doing it right with the Genesis Coupe, IMHO. They've about got that product portfolio dialed in for it. The new ones keep getting more power. Honestly, if it weren't for the Subarota twins being so light and nimble, I don't know why anyone would buy one of those over a 2013 Genesis Coupe 2.0T R-Spec (270 HP turbo four RWD, very mod friendly).

Maybe Nissan will make trims for the new Z and keep the masses happy, a la Z32 NA/TT, but smarter with regards to price points in the current market.

Yeah I mentioned that somewhere else earlier that Nissan could do something like the gen coupe. Offer the Z in a lower trim with turbo 4 and higher trim (like Nismo) could be V6. It would certainly expand the Z's sales covering 2 separate markets vs just one that's in the middle.

My money is on a twin scroll 3.0 6cyl turbo for the next Z with 345hp

I'm hoping that's for the supposed mini Z. This would be sad. I was also expecting a lower displacement TT V6.

I agree. Personally they should make a stock v6 twin turbo. But that means the GTR will need a bigger engine. Four cylinder turbo would have to produce at least 300whp and 300torque.

I think it will be ok if the Z gets somewhere around 350-400 bhp with it's stock TT V6. GT-R has more like 550 hp and they give it a bump every year. Still plenty of room in between IMO.
