Hope its not more Vaporware.

Hopefully it's not as fugly as that rendering

danegrey · 09-07-2018, 01:31 PM

will be interesting, to see the new design or how they improve on....
400 hp, would be nice, but not sure about having a 4 banger, Z has always had a 6

gryghst · 09-07-2018, 01:36 PM

Not crazy about the rendering they chose to go with the article either. I can't see the 4cyl selling well at all. Then again if they make the new Z light enough who knows.

i'm pretty sure the 4 banger was not true. yes, they do use the merc 4 banger in other platforms but the Z will have the VR30DETT.

we have a whole thread for this topic already

If its the new Z in that pic, i think its fugly AF, 2.0 turbo is weight reduction and if its that variable displacement engine with a dry sump pump, will be great against evos/subis on the twisties, that 3.0tt i personaly hate, yeah its a tt, but its intergrated exhaust mani and small displasement is horrible to go big power. The heat it produces is just stupid, if am buying another sports car its going to be the next supra, purely due to its new engine with 40% thermal efficiency.imho

ummmmm AMS had it up to 800whp already

now they cracked the code on swapping turbos and going for well over 1000whp.

Fantastic news. Put the Q60s engine in there and it’ll be a nice start.

Ignore the photos. These aren’t even related to the Z if you read the article. No concept sketches have been released!
