Next Nissan Z Scooped

bobburk · 08-25-2013, 10:28 PM

The 2010 base mustang had a V6 with 210 HP where the 2011 base mustang had a V6 with 305 HP (5 more than the 2010 GT with a V8). I have no problem with a smaller engine if the car is faster. Technology can be a wonderful thing.

As far as concept drawing go, this was a concept drawing of the C6 corvette:

So I doubt the final car will look anything like the drawing.

I don't know man. There be V2s out there. Someone might get a hair up their yang and add a couple more pistons. Then Voila! V4 BABY!

EDIT: Feel free to flame me for this.

There hasn't been a V4 for production cars since the 1960's.

Care to try again?

Never saw that concept drawing before, is it new?

cooltoy · 08-25-2013, 01:23 AM

Bigger version.

I like it from the windshield back.

I call dibbs on coining the reference to the next generation: The Dark Ages! One day I will still be driving my 40th with F.I. twins and telling my kids about the days when the Z and Nissan were relevant.

*Edit: 'Grandkids'. My kids actually know how awsome my car is!

I spoke with a GTR specialist at a local Nissan dealership not too long ago and I brought up the 4 cyl turbo concept for the upcoming Z. He said that Nissan wasn't going to make the upcoming Z a 4 cyl turbo, but rather go back to its 3.5 liter engines due to weight reduction. That's just what I was told.

Thats certainly rational and believable.

That is just an artist drawing of what they think it may look like and it won't look like a bmw. The z will share the same platform and engines as the current and future infiniti q50, so the next z won't be that much smaller or lighter than the current z. The 2015 or 2016 will be the next generation z, most likely 2016.

That is beyond fugly. I like the roof line and the windows though, everything else

Looks like a copy cat of a Mercedes in the front

i never believe anything when it comes to these rumors and "scoops" because 99% of them are wrong.
