Next z model

FLUJOKE · 01-06-2015, 03:42 PM

Honestly the latest rumor from what I heard.... The Z or the IDX. Either or. But only 1 can be built. nissan doesn't want to lose its Z community so it's a toss up. However it may contain multiple selection of engines. It will more than likely not come with a turbo due to all the problems the z32 had w warranty coverage and costs to nissan. That being said they may release a MR2/2JZ version, iron engine to hold boost pressure for after market applications. Let the people build what they want on a solid platform. The question now is. Do you bite on a yellow Z first year or wait 2-3 years for all the bugs to be fixed? Possible a 50th anniversary in 2020?!?

A lot has happened to turbos in the past 20 years.

turbo's have gotten better, but engines in pursuit of performance and light weight have gotten questionably worst in terms of durability.

plus putting FI on a car is putting a lot more wear and tear than one may actually give credit for.

like the CLA AMG... beast engine but seriously question its longevity.
