With these rumors flying around and creating some buzz, Nissan would be wise to come out with a concept before Tokyo. It's still a year away, gotta keep the attention of fanatics like us :)
TBH i'm tired of all these complicated model names. The "Nissan Z" is perfect. Everyone knows it as the Z no matter what kind of engine is in there. If there is a 4 cylinder or turbo 6 they can name it accordingly... I.e. Nissan Z Turbo
The weight loss rumor figures are always overstated. But if the Z can be trimmed down in size and use some more aluminum and lightweight materials I could see it hitting 3k pounds which is already amazing this day in age. I mean how many available cars are actually under 3000 pounds now? I can...
Rumor is they will offer the 4 for the european/asian markets only. As a fan of the V6 as most of us are, this would be welcomed. What ever Nissan needs to do to sell a lot of them so they can keep the V6 around...PLEASE DO IT!
