Nissan Working on Hybrid 370Z
 

forget the hybrid, those wheels are what i want!!!

Link?
Not 100% sure, but think those are them.

lol it's actually a nissan part? didn't know what but they actually look pretty good.

It's a heat recovery hybrid. They plan to use the oil system!

OK, that was funny!

that's pretty cool but the point of the Z is to go fast in short distances with a rumble....lol.

See? Forget my comment in the hypermiling thread. It's like someone heard me!

i think personally this is a stupid idea... this will absolutely drive the weight up near 4,000 pounds putting it out of any contention with any sports cars in their price range. maybe they should think about doing it with the g37 instead and leave the Z to be a true sports car

Totally agree.

I'm sure a lot of thought would need to go into the design of the car since the batteries would add a lot of weight and would maybe only add another 50HP.

370Z hybrid
 

Actualy we were the ones that broke with the story first at 370z.com, it ticks me off that only about half of the other sites gave us credit with the story,

If you want to read more about the details got to 370z.com and check it out.

If Nissan does it, it will not be a joke. The hybrid system has the potential for well over 400 hp with a big fat torque curve all in a package that weighs a few hundred lbs less than a GT-R.

With Obama's new CAFE regulations, this might be the only way to keep the dream alive for us enthusiasts.

Read it and think....

370z with Hybrid???? That sound not so efficient.
I heard 370z has same gas mileage as corvette C6.
Why is that? 3.7L vs 6.2L = Same? it's odd eh?

Really? They look like something American Racing would put out...

The Z should have cylinder diactivation when crusing.

Don't think this will be a viable option for the Z. Price, performance, and the group of people intended to be reached (market).

^ the hybrid or what I just said??

370z Hybrid. My bad for not specifying.

No problem.

Please make it stop! Surely this is just a development mule for the Maxima -- but in a 370Z disguise! (Please!)

I think it's true...

i'd rock a hybrid 370z.........................

most likely it will go in the Maxima and the M

That much is already known. The first release of the technology will be a Hybrid G37/M37.

any idea of the release??

If you read the article it tells you! :p

End of 2009 as a 2010 model Infiniti. That's the Japanese release date, not sure about US.

thanks for the summary.... :p

Speculation will turn into reality.
