I think that's a pretty safe bet. For all their musing over a "completely new platform", it just doesn't make sense for them to do that.

Throw the 3.0 TT in there, market it as the "Triumphant Return of the 300ZX!!!", then, try and shed 100 lbs or so. So long as it goes faster, has turbo, and looks and handles as well or better than the 370: win

Is it that Benz engine they threw in there or a new nissan 3.0L?

I haven't heard nissan having a new 3.0L engine, i know they got that 1.5L LeMans turbo engine, if they put than in the next 240sx(or w/e they call it) i might think twice about that 3 banger.

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.

3.5L V6 tubro with 333hp and 354 lbs of torque at 10.2 of boost.

3.0L V6 turbo with 333hp and 354 lbs of torque at 26.1 of boost.

For a boosted motors. The HP numbers are low for gas. For a diesel. Think that would be about right.

But both are gas motors. Reading in the comments section. Everyone is surprised at the low HP numbers.

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