So will the new Z carry this lump ?

I have to admit being a little underwhelmed considering Nissan have produced pretty much the same power from half the cylinders and displacement! I was hoping they would 'morph' this into a V6 monster :teeth:

What an incredible piece of kit, guessing it would be a bit "peaky" though in its power delivery :) Maybe a detuned version will end up in road cars or one with 3 extra cylinders bolted on.

 

Something like:

Seen this on a car news site, looks good with that kind of power. I currently have a nice white 2.2D Q50 sitting outside as my Z's in for its P3 n' sparks but unfortunately its a manual... (no autos left for the courtesy car...grr lol). It could well be one of the worst gearbox's around and the clutch is a bit heavy...and they all know it at the dealership :lol: Besides that its not a bad car the Q50 and having this new lump would prob be good thing... power, everyone loves it! Stick to auto/paddle and fix the crap electric steering thing and that engine would be a gem in something as good lookin' as a Q50.

 

A future Zed with 400bhp would be nice too!
