If they call it 400z they should just increment the name the same way corvette does with C6, C7, C8, etc.

The VR30 engine is very flexible, so it would be scalable to call the car "300Z" or "300Z Twin Turbo" and allow a wide range of power levels.

In the Q's, the VR30 already has 2 very distinct power levels.

It'd be very easy for Nissan to make 3 power levels with the VR30.

This is why I see "300Z" based on 3.0 liters as being more reasonable than "400Z" based on one known Infiniti Q output. Or an arbitrary escalation of model number for the sake of being higher than previously.
