I have a question:

What's Nissan's logic for using a Mercedes engine? Nissan has a wide selection of proven models and is no slouch at improving/boosting them to higher performance standards. What the rational for Nissan to outsource/partnership the next Z?

Also... what's Mercedes' getting out of this?

Iirc, they have a tech sharing agreement, similar to bmw and Toyota. Keeps costs down for both parties.
