MY08 - 3.7 litre and a hard top roadster

350bhp sounds like a healthy increase :)

 

I thought they'd use the 330bhp VQ37VHR....

 

Yep Andy, I would have thought that would be the engine for it, especially considering the G37S coupe has that as well........ just can't see it being 350BHP, but could be wrong.

Hey maybe there is a niche market for then?

 

Can I borrow someones Zed for the weekend - so I can make a fibreglass copy of the roof and then make a hardtop doodar from it ? Hmm should have kept the one from my MR2? Just stretch it a bit! :lol:

I'm not sure that's the new 350. I think it's a test mule for their new lower end sports coupe. If you look carefully the body was chopped in half and covers a shortened wheelbase chassis (you can see the chop down the doors and across the roofline -- also notice the rear hatch doesn't fit quite right).

 

It has about the right wheel base for this one (2.5L turbo):

This one is also a possible (the Urge):

And another short wheel base possible (the Azeal):

Personally, I think the next generation Z will have a normally aspirated version of the GT-R engine -- 3.8L (although it's possible to do it with the turbos, I don't think it's probable). For sure they can get 350 hp out of it, and it's easier to do that than upgrade the VQ beyond the 3.7L version.
