Wasso Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I passed one of these on the motorway this morning, and noticed the tell tell signs of performance with the Akebono's and the almost similar G35/7 tail pipes. They look very similar to the Mazda 6 in all fairness, but there's some interesting power going on here....... Performance Engine Size 3498 cc Cylinders 6 0-60 mph 5.0 secs Top Speed 155 mph Power Output 358 bhp Valves 24 Torque 546 Nm 403 lb-f Priced at around £40k!

GMballistic Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 For that amount of cash there are so many other car's I'd rather have than that which will do the same thing or better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 I don't think anyone has noticed though......Ignore the wrapper....... 3.5ltr pushing nearly 360bhp and 403ftlb of torque...... tell me where the VQ engine has gone wrong if those numbers can be achieved without forced induction.....

Ekona Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Who cares when the rest of the car is so mind-crushingly dull? I'm all for substance over style, but that's just a lesson in ZZZzzzzzzz... Sorry, dozed off just thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should have made more of an effort with the VQ to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Possibly getting one of these on Thursday night as a courtesy car when the Zeds in for a service. Likely a diesel though since I need to fill it back up lol. Very nice looking cars I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
