VR38DETT is really that expensive??? to drop in to a 60k car?

At least there is 75 more foot pounds of torque and we don't even know the rpm band

You guys kill me. Nissan has never farmed out the engine design. Why in the world would you think they would stick a Mercedes engine in the car? Just too funny. Who would want that junk anyway.

Need something lighter and get better gas mileage than the current 3.7

In Z_ealot's link, C&D says it's Nissan's own direct injected, 3.0 v6 turbo that will be in the new Q60, also says, no manual trans and working on hydraulic, electric assist steering. Can't take this info as gospel but I hope C&D's info is at least 85% correct. The 15% wrong, is the no manual transmission part, I hope.

Im coming from Porsche 997..new Ps will be less cc and turbo, no MT but PDK(automatic) and other wonders...
Im really enjoying my 16 Sport, no regrets

I really hate EPS. Even when it's good, it's still bad. :shakes head:

Then why are there Renault badges in my engine bay?

man there's some whiny bitches in here lol

:yum:

You mean the ones on the throttle bodies and not the engine? Lol

also quit bitching about EPS because Nissan boss said the GTR and Z will have auto drive stuff in them before the end of the decade. it'll just drive itself lol

Yeah, your right throttle bodies have little to do with running your engine. Lol

And even less to do with engine design lol

So the Z35 is supposed to debut in 2017 with a 3.0L turbo motor? Is that the consensus? This sh1t is getting ridiculous Nissan! I've been literally scoping out Mustangs because of this nonsense.

I'll just end this here with this.

:confused:

Ditto lol

This may have already been said but looking at how Nissan/Infiniti put out their cars it would appear that using the Infiniti Q60 as an engine guide we should see 2 engine choices for the New Z35.

1. 4 Cylinder Turbo 241hp for the base model
2. 6 Cylinder Twin Turbo 340hp or so sport model.
3. My speculation 3rd option with Nismo model and how Nissan is really emphasizing the Nismo brand I'm going with a 380hp V6TT with slightly higher boost and a Nismo turbo 3 inch exhaust

Options 1 and 2 are already confirmed for the 2017 Q60. Looking back to theG35/350z days in 2001 where the VQ motor was announced with 280hp for the G35 and then was dropped inthe 350z with slightly more power and Less weight. The 2017 Q60 looks to weigh in around 3700-3900 pounds. My guess is then the new Z will weigh around 3100-3200 pounds for the V6TT model but for the 4 cylinder turbo could weigh in 2900-3100. Leaner and much meaner.

Figures the guy who wants the car to shift itself would be in favor of the car steering itself. :facepalm:

Dude the Mustang is a boat compared to the Z.

Don't get me wrong, the S550 is really pretty good, it's a fun, fast boat, but it's just not the same kind of car. :shakes head:

Also it has EPS. :ugh:

Volk Z, Have the 1st 2 engines been confirmed by Infiniti?

Hopefully the Q60 might come in a little lighter. Current Q50 which is 4 inches longer, weigh in at 3,574 for base and 3,611 for premium.

those engine options 1 & 2 sound good, a little dissapointed for the v6 tt only making 340hp, (I know 'turn up the boost bro' crowd will disagree, but what about us who wish to keep the warranty and keep the car stock, yet keep up with most modern sports cars?), I feel like 380hp for the based and maybe 400-420 for the nismo, and keep both under 3300lbs

I agree.

I do not see a 4 banger option coming. For as much as they constantly talk about the Z and its heritage, keep in mind that no Z has ever had anything other than a 6 of some fashion. I don't see them starting now, there isn't a lot to be gained by it. Look at Hyundai and the Genesis coupe 4, they actually ended up dropping it .. and for good reason.

The 4 banger turbo four that is listed is available in the Q50 for MY2016 already. It'll show up in the Q60, which means that if the next Z is to share the same platform, they'll be set up to accommodate multiple engine options.

They still have to greenlight the idea, but the architecture is there for them to go with it.

really hope they dont, but if it means getting a proper Z back in the market then I guess its not a big deal.

Nissan need to release info pretty soon. i'm about over this waiting around nonsense.

I want info dammit!

In unrelated Z news.....

2017 Infiniti Q60 Coupe spied for the first time

Lol at V8 rumors

The helll with it. Think I might be going this way when I want a new car. :D

2016 Dodge Viper ACR Sets 13 Lap Records, Outmuscles P1 & 918 Spyder: Video

Nismo engine would be the MB c450AMG engine. 362hp. Maybe add 5 to 8 more horsepower for the Nissan tuned exhaust. So 368 to 370hp...

No need to speculate engines. We're getting BENZ engines with certain Nissan parts and Nissan ecu tuning.

Engine 1 is confirmed. They're saying 211hp right now but. Cool might be more right. I think Nissan may want to tune that up...

Is that an inline 4 Turbo? How do you know is confirmed for the next Z?

Only the 4-banger turbo is a Merc motor. (as well as the diesel offered globally in the Q50 - that is also a Merc) The 3.0L Twin Turbo 6 has been confirmed multiple times by Infiniti reps to be a homegrown Nissan motor.

3500 lbs car with 211 hp?

:gtfo2: Nissan.

The phrase "I'll believe it when I see it" comes to mind.

My thoughts exactly.:iagree:

If the car is greater than 3300lbs it needs at least 375-400hp.

If they can get the weight down to just over 3000lbs then 330+ would suffice.

and we would still want to see all the safety features, technologies, touch screens, heat warmers, power seat/windows, quieter ride and all the other things in a luxury car and still demand the weight be under 3300.

seen this before so let's reiterate...
here's a list and pick 2.

weight
power
cheap

good luck.

Here come the excuse generators for why a reasonable ask of a Z is apparently impossible.

Unfortunately the lighter portion of my comments are unlikely since the new q60 will probably weight 3500+ and more than likely the new Z will share that platform.
