sooooo someone at jalopnik got bored and reused the same article from 3 years ago but added in the talk of the new supra.

all the info given in this is very old. just fyi.

I read this too and no matter what else they said .. this

"Whatever Nissan ends up doing, I hope the next Z becomes a reality somehow—
even if it has some Mercedes guts,
the world is better with a Z in it.

I have to agree with this

I don't even know if this is worth posting but... jalopnik hates talking about the Z in any positive light. So there's probably something they heard half credible. But I think we already assumed this so... it's worthless news.

I just posted this in the appropriate area n I was hesitant to do so. But hey... it's Z news I guess?

And here's another:

Still a bit skeptical about Nissan giving the green light until it's confirmed directly from Nissan themselves.

This is the same thing they said around this time last year... so I'll believe it when I see it.

The most cost-logical thing they can do is platform share with the Q50/Q60 and rinse and repeat. AMS has demonstrated that they have a lot of headroom in the new VR30DDTT (they just dynoed around 800whp in their project Q60), so if they made a 450hp version of the Z to properly slide it against things that compete within the target price range (Camaro, Mustang... I know the Z isn't those cars but for the money it is going to draw those as alternatives, and Nissan knows that, and Nissan needs conquest sales for a next gen Z), it's doable and there's a decent business case for it.

I don't know where all the Mercedes BS is coming from... they don't need Mercedes to do any of this. At most, they make a bottom-tier trim like the Q60 that plucks that garbage Mercedes 2.0 turbo with its garbage transmission, but that's it. They don't need anything else from Mercedes.

VR30DDTT with a 6MT please Nissan. Or a DCT.
