Default European Z to have 300 HP

I am planning to move out of the country so I was checking out the availabilty of the Z abroad and found this in "Auto Express".



"Under the bonnet, the convertible uses the same 287bhp 3.5-litre V6 engine as the coupé, but Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn says the car will only be available with a five-speed automatic gearbox. "Coupé versions will have a six-speed manual 'box, but this will not appear in the convertible
models," he confirmed. Meanwhile, a 300bhp 350Z for European markets only is rumoured to be in development, and will become the range flagship when it goes on sale in late 2003."

Still says rumors...It'll probably stay the 287HP like the U.S.

Europe uses DIN HP figures. The U.S. uses S.A.E. HP figures. In Europe, the BMW M3 has 343hp; in the U.S. the BMW M3 has 333hp. I would guess they are quoting DIN HP figures in Europe.
