ChaseZ, I think you need a black avatar.

At most it would wear 410-420 hp utilizing the Q60 red Sport engine (just like squeezing a few more hp more than the same G37 engine).

I'm more interested if they will offer awd to utilize the power or not

But it sounds good.

Nissan Z Concept Coming; Production Car Could Reach 500 Horsepower

Not digging this new concept...And 500hp? Could be a direct competitor to the Supra.

meh a little bit too late in my opinion

triso07 · 01-27-2017, 08:47 AM

Dual clutch and 400hp twin turbo hell yes.

triso07 · 01-27-2017, 08:49 AM

That's just a shitty rendering. I wouldn't pay attention to that visual there. The details about the powertrain are exciting though. Hopefully they offer a manual as well.

Maybe it will have OEM Craftsquare mirrors?

No manual, no thanks. If I wanted a dual clutch gear banger i'd get a golf R. This is hobby car for most of us, corvette seems to know that and their sales reflect that.

"Folks always like to know what the breakdown is with the 7-speed manual transmission vs the new 8-speed automatic. For the 2015 Corvette Stingray, that breakdown was 25.6% manual and 74.4% automatic. For the Z06, the take rate on the 7-speed manual was 51.6% while the new 8-speed auto accounted for 48.4%. The automatics started production a little over a month after the 7-speed manuals so perhaps this will change for 2016."

This is a perfect example of a hobby car, and hey look its 25% and 51% manual sales,

People will still buy it and enjoy it for what it is, but many of us will move on.

Hopefully the dual clutch will be able to hang with the pdk system.

Disagree.

I'm pumped to see what it looks like.

Curious if they're being funny saying concept and it'll be out in spring. That would be tits

RicerX · 01-27-2017, 09:30 AM

Disconcerting absence of a manual transmission in all that talk on C&D.

The better news is that it will share a platform with the Infiniti siblings instead of that modular platform that it was rumored to share with the next-gen Juke.

7 Speed Dual Clutch makes sense in that it will absolutely be shared with the Infinitis that are very due for that, but I'm worried it may be sourced from Mercedes (the only dual clutch offered by Infiniti currently is the QX30, and that's paired with the Merc's 2.0T)... I'll bet money it's either Mercedes-sourced, or Borg Warner has something cooking for this (that would be my preference)

All in all, it sounds like that $60k figure will absolutely be seen once you option this sucker out.

I always wanted back into a Z, but if they make a manual in this new Z mated to the VR30DDTT, it's possible that drivetrain configuration could make it into a Q50, and a 6MT twin turbo Q50 will be my forever car without a doubt.

Now we can all finally look forward to Tokyo and see what happens!
