Nice catch my bad! Thanks for the correction.

Im sorry I still love Porsche but still cant afford that darn car!

I wish Porsche would partner with Kia!

IMO, the Cayman is the ever looming presence over a 370z. That or the Audi TT-RS which was limited production.

Dirk McGurck · 08-09-2014, 12:55 AM

I didn't buy a Toybaru because there was no power and it's got a shitty interior compared to a used Z for the same price. I don't regret my decision. I'd be interested in a TT V6, or just a little more power out of the current V6. Add that to a lighter weight, and I'm happy.

Needs to have a real manual, though. I don't care that a DCT auto is faster. I don't want one.

They should just throw direct injection ports into the VQ37. That would really help with the power.

Drakonis GTR · 08-09-2014, 11:54 AM

So the Turbo 3.0 liter is expecting 328hp? I hope that's at the wheels (not likely), or otherwise Nissan is back sliding. That better include a decent increase in MPG or otherwise my thought is that they are wasting their time. Of course, with the talk of throwing an electric motor into the mix, hopefully that HP figure will jump up a bit. Would like to see numbers near the 375 mark or so. That would make it more worthwhile IMO.

As for the turbo 4...why? Unless their plans for the IDx fall through, they will already have a Turbo 4 sports car. Double-dipping would do nothing more than hurt sales for both, and if the Nismo IDx is cheaper, hang it up. Unless you are the kind of person that doesn't care about power and just wants the look?

Of course, I have always been the kind of person that would wonder why someone would buy a V6 in a car, when the V8 is an option. It just seems like a waste to me.

But hey, it's Nissan's money. If this decision comes back to bite them in the ***, sucks to be them.

My mantra: get the largest engine for the car or the smallest car for the engine.

Current rumors are that the iDX is not going to be produced.

Virtual · 08-09-2014, 01:20 PM

I've seen a couple stories of this since morning, here is another article :

2017 Nissan Z35 could feature turbo hybrid powertrain | Digital Trends

rumor it will cost 60k, gtfo

watson853 · 08-09-2014, 02:17 PM

I wonder if the turbo four will be base and the 3.0 turbo might be exclusive to the nismo. Anyone else think this may be the case.

Huck · 08-09-2014, 09:35 PM

From the talk I had it sounded like it would just be the RS. The rest will be as usual.

I also just found this: http://autoweek.com/article/car-news...-hybrid-engine

^^^ I don't know how much of that (if any) will pan out, but I'm certainly open to a PRHT or t-top option.

The predicted power output is no different that the current Z...

Note: That 60K price is in AUD not USD.

brucelidat · 08-10-2014, 06:58 PM

And a straight currency conversion won't be accurate either for an expected price of the car here.. Cars cost a lot more in Australia.

maro · 08-10-2014, 09:08 PM

I like the idea of engine option plus targa !
I actually dont really care abt engine just wanna see the new z35 design,, they better not messy it up
