[OFFICIAL] Discussion for the next new Nissan 400Z Z35?

Volk Z

I love how heated these posts get...

As for BENZ motors going in the Z, it was released that in the next couple years Nissan will be making motors for Mercedes with this merger, they may use the blueprints of the merc engines and then actually assemble them under Nissan facilities.

Both motors the 4 cyl turbo and 6 cyl TT I spoke about earlier are officially confirmed for the Q60. If we just use common sense to speculate that previously speaking the last 13 years Nissan/Infiniti 350z/370z/G35/G37 always shared the same engine then we can easily use this data to speculate the new Z will have the same engine options. This would also solidify the rumors of a 4 cylinder option and the V6TT option both spoken about.

I also had to laugh about comments stating the Z has never had anything but a 6 cylinder... what do you think camaro and mustang guys think about a 4 cylinder turbo in those cars? The auto industry is evolving and if they don't they will fall.

I am willing to bet anyone that 2 motor choices will be offered if the Z is not killed off due to lack of sales.

until they actually do independent testing on these 4 cylinder turbo cars and find out that their emissions are the same when they actually drive the car above 2000 rpm.

or you know... the fact they position the set up of the 6pot stang with limited trims vs the 4pot / 5.0...

laugh all you want but i think it's rediculous that cars are being forced to go down this crappy route. should be about choice. you know... what murica built on.

freedom bitches.

freedom.

i bet if they can do that mitsu might bring back the evo? the reason they discontinued it was mostly due to emissions reasons, i read somewhere.

damn... i think the whole EPA targets are unreasonably strict for current technology. and technology isn't advancing at a rate.

so they cheat the system.

VW did this premetively because they know that people are now scrutinizing their product.

it will be a matter of time to see if other small engine FI'd cars are in the same bs boat as them.

The feds (obama and epa) are pushing everyone to electric cars. To do it. Make the emissions and fuel avg. standards so high. That the manufactures have to downsize engines and cheat on emissions. So you're seeing more turbo 4's coming out, and VW cheating (who else is cheating?). The next step is to phase in more electric cars. Believe 2017~2018 is a beginning of the end of the dino fueled car. They won't be around in 2025. The next problem we will face is that the electric grid will NOT handle the extra load from the electric cars. By 2018~2020, half of the coal plants will be retired, and the rest by 2030. I work in the industry, and see what's coming. So the turbo 4 in the next Z makes sense for the near future.

America was also built on spelling well and appropriate grammar but some don't abide by that either

And I'm not sure you have jumped into the history books but there have been national and international events that have altered the way the economy is or was. Things change.
