Little more info on the Infiniti VR engine

oxymoron · 01-04-2016, 05:28 AM

Not to mention the car is 70k new here.

A factory TT Z sounds great to me. However, the "integrated turbo manifolds" worry me a lot when it comes to modding potential. If the are a big restriction for some reason, throwing larger turbos on there may be pretty damn costly.

I'm also a little worried by the peak torque at 1600-5200 rpm thing. That basically means the turbos are tiny and they are trying to do their best to hide the fact they are there at all. Sure modern turbo engines are fast and efficient. But I'll take the excitement a bit of good old turbo lag brings over efficiency any day.

the real winner is that new Buick coupe if it ever gets made.

400HP TT on the alpha platform with possible Camaro suspension underneath but sexy styling.

It's all going to come down to cost for me. It'll be great unless they jack the price $20k.

The new Infiniti Q60 is a svelte luxury sports coupe with 400 horsepower | The Verge

Looks like that 4 banger Z may happen after all?

FPenvy · 01-11-2016, 01:15 PM

again I will say from concept to production the Q60 is underwhelming a bit.

the exterior is good but man the concept seemed plausible to keep that aggressive but it got toned down a bunch.

the side view I really just see a maxima with a front fender vent.

the gem here is the engine. its the hope that the next Z (if one presents itself) has that engine and they style it correctly.

if not, it's time to move on from Nissan I think. many other great options are available or soon to be available.
