Rumormill: Next-gen Nissan Z to get Mercedes V6, I4-hybrid?

Quote:

Given the reality of upcoming CO2 emissions regulations in both Europe and North America, it's not much of a stretch to assume that the next generation Nissan Z will get more fuel efficient. How Nissan will manage to extract those extra miles per gallon and reduced emissions is purely conjecture on the part of everyone outside of Nissan's engineering staff at this point.

Thankfully, the British motoring press has no aversion to speculation or even simply stuff up. In the wake of the cooperation deal between Daimler and the Renault-Nissan alliance, the future of the Z is a ripe target for such prognostication. Could the 370Z successor get a version of the 3.5-liter V6 hybrid powertrain from the Mercedes S400? How about a V6 diesel or inline-four diesel-hybrid?

LOL

Probably not...that would go against all the previous Nissan Z model-line strategy.

NISMO = laden the car with supports, struts, and other 'mods' that in theory make it 'better' but in reality make it slower.

If it's a I4 hybrid then call it a Silvia not a Z >: (
