Default Z35 motor theory

In the past it has been debated, what engine will the Z35 get? In one of my threads I made a poll where the forum voted on what they would like to see. Choices I provided were a hypothetical 2.5 turbo 4 banger, 3.0 v6 turbo or keep the 3.7. Some felt the middle engine had no hope of being produced. There was no credible info stating Nissan was working on any new engines and the ONLY data at the time was a 3.0.turbo_diesel by new partners Mercedes-Benz.

Well it turns out Benz has a new series of turbo engines coming out.
One is a 2.0 4 cylinder turbo producing 241hp & 273lb tq.
An AMG version with 355hp & 332 lb tq.
Finally a 3.0 v6 turbo rated @ 329hp & 354lb tq.

Lets cross out the first entry. It sounds like what would possibly end up in the IDX Nismo. The other two seem more credible to the Z. Especially my previously speculative hopes for a 3.0 v6 turbo. Though I was hoping to see HP numbers closer to 350 or 370. The torque number is a prayer answered fir the Z.
I'm sure it would be easy for Nissan to tune this out to 370hp & 355lbs torque. If this kind of power was lowered into a 3100-3200 lb vehicle? With some suspension help from AMG, this Z once again will rival v8's with more than half the displacement. Will MB throw us a bone for the Z's powerplant?

Thoughts?
