Nissan can name it whatever Z they want to.

How about just Nissan Z? We all call our cars "the Z" or " my Z", so why not drop the numbers all together? Why not standardize the markets and go Fairlady Z across the board?

We all know the reason we have a NA car that is gradually getting minor imporvements is because too many kids/people/bone-heads find the ditch or pole/tree in their Z. Do I want a factory turbo Z? Hell yeah! Is it likely................nope.

Hope the Nissan doesn't weigh 3935 lbs like the Mercedes.

Hopefully Nissan understands that the next Z can't be a refreshed version of the current model. If that is all they plan, they might has well take another decade vacation. I'd like to see them find a few hundred pounds of weight reduction and go with a 2 engine solution. Keep something like the current engine (or turbo 4) for the lower priced end and then something like this engine for the high end.

Mercedes CLA 45 AMG is gonna have a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 355bhp and 332lb ft. Maybe the Z should get that engine. Bring the weight down with a 4 cylinder. how much weight could be saved from moving to a 4 cylinder from a 6 cylinder? Educated guess.
