based on early speculation of them sourcing the merc cla amg TT V6 and also a 4 banger from them as well could be true now that a 3.0L TT V6 (same as speculated) popped up in the Q60.

without no new name of the engine or specifics it's too hard to tell if Nissan actually built their own or outsourced. that is unless I've missed something or new news in the past 24 hours.

All I have read is the motor used in the q60 concept is the same as the one in the q80 minus the hybrid stuff.

I edit my previous post. I meant the 4banger was the CLA sourced. not sure about the V^ what car it was in.

and yea the Q60 is the stepped down version of the Q80. basically giving the structure I would imagine to the Z and GT-R relationship. R36 will most likely go with a hybrid set-up like all the other newer supercars.

i'll find that tt 3.0l somewhere lol

So where we spend 5k now for 30whp you can spend the same amount and get 100whp. Just because it has a TT kit does not mean it will be cheaper, I imagine the prices will actually go up for the v6TT parts. The majority of people will buy the lower end engine as it will be cheaper to buy into so 70% of parts will be made for it.

yea i can see that happening if they do roll out the two different engine choices.

i believe they out sourced it, but that's just my guess.
