I just hope Nissan doesn't do that "engine noise amplification" BS that other car companies are doing.

Well, the new GT-R that's getting released in 2017? will have the 3.8L V6 twin turbo motor- hybid combo with over 800HP. So any turbo motor may make it into the new Z.

784HP

Next-gen Nissan GT-R will go hybrid, pack 784 HP

If this is true, then the GTR should be going way up market, leaving plenty of room for the Z to grow. Come on Nissan, two home runs are better than one!

I read it at work and seen the video. Couldn't remember the all the numbers on it. The video said they're puttting God back into Godzilla. Remember them saying it's going up scale. Could be $150,000 plus?

I'm not as worried about the engine as I am the hybrid setup that will be paired to it. It's one thing to have a hybrid DD that you don't plan on keeping since the warranty will pretty much take care of you, but putting a really expensive system that will most likely need expensive maintenance work on top of the regular drivetrain maintenance worries me.

Thats a brilliant point. I agree 100 percent. I would prefer if a merc benz motor is used that amg motor listed sounds promising.

I would say if a mercedes motor is used then I would recommend getting a Z from a dealer like i did in charelston sc where they have a lifetime warranty on powertrain. Then who cares about reliability its on Nissan at that point.

Interesting points. If the new Z is a huge upgrade and the price is about the same as the current Z, then our cars will take a big hit on it's trade in/resale value. From a potential new buyers perspective who doesn't own a Z, this is great!

If the new Z gets a huge upgrade and is now priced upmarket, our current Z's won't take a big hit. But it will still cost us the difference to upgrade.

It could be a pick your poison or heaven on earth, depending on which side of the fence you're on.

njobe89 · 09-30-2014, 11:16 AM

i just read on carmarketnews that it will have 408hp? it will be the benz engine... how much truth there is behind that who knows

brucelidat · 09-30-2014, 12:16 PM

It better not be 408+hp and also lighter. I was planning to keep the 370 for a long time instead of wasting money upgrading...

njobe89 · 09-30-2014, 12:36 PM

idk... i plan on keeping it till i pay it off, then sell it and get something better.

njobe89 · 09-30-2014, 01:11 PM

lol.. yea i can see where you're coming from. if i was smart i'd keep it but as soon as i pay a car off i sell it that month and start all over again 0.o
