I'll play along.....no Z is gonna cost $60K

My prediction for the next Z:
Entry level: Turbo 4
Mid: NA V6
High end/Nismo: TT V6

that would be a nice set-up but I feel that Nissan wont do 3 options. it's too much cost for a car that isn't a major seller for them.

if anything it'll be a 4 banger and a TTV6 .....hopefully lol

i'm only interested in the next Z if it's the 3.0L TT like the engine announced for the next Q60. other than that it's gonna be too hard to not move on to another car.

I'm just basing my predictions on this article, don't know if its been posted here before and how true it is:

The Next Nissan Z Could Get Multiple Engines And Just Be Called "Z"

You put some sticky tires on it and there goes about 75% of the fun.

I guess I could get a golf cart and put plastic wheels on it and drift it around everywhere, that would be fun, right?

@FPenvy
I'm just basing my predictions off the numerous articles I read about the next Z being offered with "multiple" engines

@UNKNOWN_370
Tell that to Nissan who's gonna sell the 2016 Maxima with the VQ engine

and thanks man but I've been a member here since 2009 just never posted lol

Anyone know if Nissan ever showed a 370z concept prior to unveiling it at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show? Any old articles would be nice

A. it's not cost effective nor a selling point to have 3 engines. only multi-million car selling models like jetta, civic, etc... offer something like a baby engine, hybrid, performance, and diesel.

a car like the Z being a low volume seller with a bit higher price point even 2 engines is not a great strategy. when you factor in wanting to expand slightly and smash the BRZ/FRS then yes a 4 banger, Z body, nad small price will make those cars go bye byes.

B. Maxima always gets the hand-me-down engines from the sports cars before they move on to the next platform.

C. the G37 was unveiled with the 3.7 VQ that also went into the Z. so by that you can say the 3.0L TT V6 shown in the Q60 unveiling is the next engine in the Z.
