The 3.0 TT lives in the Q60... Doubters be relieved!

UNKNOWN_370 · 02-07-2015, 08:23 PM

Yes, Infiniti will build this sexy twin-turbo sport coupe -- in 2016 - CNET

As some of us speculated. The mercedes Benz sourced 3.0TT lives in the Q60. Which gives us strong hope the Z35 may be a monster and possibly bring the Z back to it's former tuner prowess of the old turbo Z's.

Gentlemen... I have an erection!!!! Lol

now there is word its also supposed to get an optional 4.7 V8 from mercedes too ( in some markets)

/Angelo350Z/ · 02-07-2015, 08:51 PM

Great news. It must be boner Sunday.

Kaldaien · 02-07-2015, 08:54 PM

Hopefully that concept is not the final design. I realize it's a 2+2, but that thing is hideous compared to the G37 coupe it effectively replaces.

Add fuel to the fire. 2016 nissan z car turbo concept release date | Asistcars.com

One of the powertrains under its hood will be a strengthed by 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-inline with 211 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque paired with electric motor. Under the hood of the stronger 2016 Nissan Z will be 3.0-liter turbocharged V-6 engine that produces 400 horsepower mated with electric motor. Both engines will transfer energy through automatic transmission on rear wheels. It’s rumored that this powerplant might use a hybrid system similar to Honda’s Integrate Motor Assist (IMA) system.

Edit: only disappointing if no mt is offered.

OTW Z-Boy · 02-08-2015, 12:41 PM

Any news about a 2+2 seating configuration like the 300zx? Or is it going to be more like the g37?

yah, problem with these faster higher end cars is that they are usually all AT's..

Jordo! · 02-08-2015, 02:12 PM

That article featured both the ugliest rendering of the new Z yet as well as some staggeringly bad Engrish

Also, had nothin' new in terms of the rumor mill.

On board with you... With the electric motor and 2+2 plus 400hp sign me up.

MagmaRed370z · 02-08-2015, 08:55 PM

This is going to be great. Sign me up for the 400hp model with Targa Top.

m4a1mustang · 02-08-2015, 09:12 PM

Good news. I was worried it'd get the VQ.

Firebase99 · 02-08-2015, 09:28 PM

Totally. I already told my wife I'm getting rid of the Genesis. Lol.

Firebase99 · 02-08-2015, 09:33 PM

Not to toot my own horn, yes I am, I've been saying for a year this is what it's getting. Lol. However, if if true, ford alwYs seems a way to trump nissan 14 months into new model. Though assuming the electric proves trustworthy in the Z35, I'm curious to see what Ford responds with...they don't have much on the table with electric stuff. Man, that junk is INSTANT torque too. My doc friend has a Tesla S and....omg!!!
