The spoiler is a nice addition for sure.

I thought the steering wheel looked a bit big as well. Honestly I was hoping they'd make it more squared.

If this is a lower trim car sign me up. I don't think any trim will be under 400hp though. The new Supra has 382hp. This car needs that 400hp as a big selling point and just as an extra middle finger to Toyota. For a 400HP car the Akebonos are still plenty sufficient. Honestly, I think the GTR brakes would be overkill unless you're modding to get massive power.

The Supra has two different engines now-
2.0 liter four-cylinder turbo- 255 hp and 295 lb-ft
3.0 liter inline six-cylinder turbo- 382 hp and 365 lb-ft

I can easily see Nissan offering the Z with the same engine selection as the Q50/Q60 have- with the 300 hp and 400 hp versions of the 3.0L V6 twin turbo, but with slightly higher power levels on each. The base will not be lower than the existing 370Z's 332 hp. Expect around 340 hp for the base. The 400 hp version will probably be around 420 hp. I'm hearing 475 hp for the Nismo with all-wheel drive. Essentially a baby GT-R- when the GT-R was released in 2009, it was 480 hp with all-wheel drive (it's up to 565 hp now).
