Nissan needs to do something

The saddest part is Nissan hasn't even confirmed a new z being produced and released. I don't really take " my source at Nissan" toobseriously about a new z until it's confirmed by Nissan themselves officially. Don't forget there's a new focus rs coming out on top of the already mustang performer.

They have announced the Q60 coupe will be coming with a new twin-turbo 3.0L DOHC engine that is going to be replacing the 3.7L we all know. That car is most certainly going to be targeted at the M3/M4 and the RCF. Ford mustangs, maro's, and charger r/t's probably aren't even a thought for performance and certainly not the Focus. After that you will probably see the Z. The former head of Infiniti that changed everything to Q's is gone off to Cadillac he wanted to separate Infiniti from Nissan as much as possible, but I doubt that happens or at least I believe they will still share platforms.

Well there's this article from Jalopnik in Jan of 2014 confirming it is being worked on

Nissan Is Probably Cooking Up A New Turbo Z

Quote:

In a revelatory interview with Just-Autos at the Detroit Auto Show, Nissan chief planning officer Andy Palmer dropped some details on this new Z:

On a replacement for the 370Z, he said: "I know what the power train will be and I know it will exist. It would be reasonable to assume it will have a downsized turbo engine. There will be normal and Nismo versions."
