The next gen Z!

I wonder if there will be a Nismo rs model on top of the Nismo model. I remember hearing something about doing more with the Nismo brand.

Small displacement high revving 6 cyl with cyl deac and DCT trans will get the job done.
Nissan take a page or a few volumes out of porsche's collection..

a potential Z engine?

A new 550+-horsepower Infiniti flagship sedan is in the pipeline, confirmed Infiniti boss Johan de Nysschen in an open letter to Infiniti owners on Wednesday.
He said the new performance sedan will get a "potent charged induction V6."
The new Infiniti flagship sedan is expected to target the Jaguar XF.

I highly doubt it. They're not going to give the Z as much power as a GT-R. Maybe they'll give the Z just the N/A version of that engine.

The GT-R is at what, 585 or so I think? Throwing a 550hp engine into the Z, which is already considerably lighter and the next model "should" be lighter still, is going to make it more or less on the same level as the GT-R. Granted the GT-R has launch control so it would get the initial jump; once the Z got full traction, I imagine it would walk the GT-R from that point.

On top of that, the Z has been following the G line, so look there for clues.

I didn't think so either but some variation of this same "potent charged induction V6."

I just went and compared what these cars are actually listed for on Cars.com. Brand new 2013 both start around $40k.

Sorry man pretty sure most people out here in Southern California know that's what mustang owners do.. Therefore alot of people wouldn't be caught dead in a ford mustang yet even buy one, therefore nobody cares about the 500hp and loud engine noises when you're at a stoplight.
