Little more info on the Infiniti VR engine

The infiniti Q30 has been paired with a DCT. I know that's just a 4 banger. But it gives me hope that we may see a transmission shift with the Z. As the equivalent GLA 45 carries a standard 7 speed automatic transmission and we have DCT though we share engines The DCT is in the AMG version which shows that Nissan is still looking to have its own technological identity.

Yup... Spy photo late June. Track testing news for 2 months... See the full car in September. Trace amounts being sold from October to February. Volume sales in March.

Typical Nissan.
