This info is based on this old article from Car & Driver Nissan Z Concept Coming; Production Car Could Reach 500 Horsepower January 26, 2017

Nissan has always named the Z based on engine displacement. Either the artical has it wrong (likely) or the next Z will have a 3.9 liter engine. Do they have a current engine that could be punched out to that? The 3.8 in the GT-R perhaps? The 3.0 twin turbo makes more sense but then it would be a 300Z.

300z sounds nice and it would be accurate if it has the vr30dett

Nixin · 08-18-2017, 03:02 PM

I think that "400Z" sounds much better.

That Supra concept rendering by motor1.com is pretty freakin' sweet

Actually, it may just be called the "380z" and use the Q50, Q60 and GTR VR38DETT engine. I don't see why they would design a unique engine just for the Z

Q's use the 3.0L

I heard it is going to be called the "onZedge"...

You're right. The Q uses the VR30DDTT.

Did you purposely match the avatar to the cheeky nature of the joke? If so bravo sir, if not, bravo sir.

The avatar matching is a happy accident.

Odd they aren't stepping up theIr game at least on the power front. Makes the 9 year old 370z seem surprisingly competitive (still).

Today, Motorauthority,Com is claiming the new Supra will have a manual and a turbo v6 pushing out ~ 400 hp. Nice. Hope Nissan feels compelled to beat the competition with the next Z.

Volk Z · 08-23-2017, 04:55 PM

I love all the talk of what it will be called... WHO CARES haha, I shaved my 370z badge off and when people ask I tell them its a Z...

The motor already exists so HP perspective is pretty easy to guesstimate. Its a 400hp TT motor... If we go off from previous G/Z platforms the Z will typically have the same or slightly more power and weigh less than a G/Q.

I guessed Nissan would be releasing a TT V6 a VERYYYY long time ago.

THat being said my guess (which has been good so far) is
Base Z 2.0T 300ish hp
Sport Z 3.0TT V6 400-410hp
Nismo 3.0TT V6 465hp

Look back at this once its released

Also if you look back to my posts years ago I was almost exactly the same before we even knew about these Engines... Maybe I am good at guessing OR.... Top Secret haha
