Down gradding the Z to a 4 cylinder engine or electric just isnt a "Z Car" anymore in my opinion.
I agree, I love the sound of the 6 cylinder in our z

A sleek sports car is nice but not the way I want to address the next generation of sports car drivers,” Palmer told Auto Express. “Kids in the UK are not taking their driving test, so while my generation grew up adoring the sports car, we have to find a new way of reaching those customers. To me that is where the electric powertrain will rule.”

Palmer confirmed that the Juke Nismo offers some hints at what Nissan is looking at.

Lol WTF? It looks like I won't be getting a 3rd z.

2900lbs i4 turbo Z could be a sweet deal..

also until some solid progress is made in the battery industry the sports cars should stay away or at least keep the battery potential minimal (like the porsche 918 spyder)
