Would you buy an electric or hybrid Z?

[Ziggy]

EV yes; hybrid no. It would fix the front bumper probably.

I'm pretty sure they made a hybrid 3.5L V6 Infiniti Q50 that had 360HP. Not sure how good it was or wasn't though.

EDIT:
Here's a review of it. Production of it ended in 2018; I assume because it didn't sell well.

Let's just go full BEV for the next gen! Charging infrastructure will come soon enough, and I'll name her Bev

"charging infrastructure" won't be free. We'll all need to pay for it.

As a tangent, not speaking directly to you Trackratz, Anyone thinking their actual cost-per-mile will reduce after wide-scale BEV adoption and built-out infrastructure is smoking some good crack. This is going to cost money, and politicians will tax us heavily for many different reasons. During the transition, the burden will fall on too many people unfairly. Using superchargers is already getting to be nearly as expensive as the average ICE vehicle, and politicians haven't caught up to taxing home charging yet. They have begun implementing EV road use taxes in some places. More to come!

BTW, I'm a gov't employee. I know how we do this...

CarBuzz posted this yesterday for whatever reason. They reference bestcarweb as the source but I didn't find any new info over there. Maybe they are just late to the party.

It'd probably have a frunk

I say heck yes because electric is the future and there's no fighting it. Plus, have you been in a Tesla? Those fuckers MOVE.

I dont want to drive a sports car that sounds like a monorail. I get EV is where the world is headed, but thats when i stop caring about cars and just buy a NIssan leaf or something to get around.

Driving a sports car is not all about speed, very rarely are you at full speed, so much more goes into the driving experience. The sounds, the smell, the vibration, all these things i enjoy just as much as the speed. Once we go full EV, at least i will save some money on my expensive car hobby. I am going ride out my ICE GTR and Z into the sunset

I'm hoping for a hybrid Z/Nismo to extend range plus added power, but NOT full EV yet, that will be my truck at the end of the year. A hybrid Z will make it to COTA from So Cal, love to make that road trip, do a track weekend, and back.
