They haven't even released the 06 to Europe yet so I doubt there would be anything out for the 07.
There was some discussion about a possible 330z (a 330ps\bhp 3.7l engined car) but they are talking 07\08 for that.
I think that your friend may have mistaken the 06car for the 07.

Keep this info amongst yourselves; some of the details are subject to change. For the most part, though, this is 98% accurate. I got this information during a lunch meeting with Carlos Ghosn and Shouhei Kimura .
The 2007 Z is supposed to be a naturally aspirated 550 whp/506 ft. lbs. torque beast. Somehow, they're going to squeeze all this power out of an in-line 5 cylinder rotary hybrid with an optional turbo bolt on header. Phenomenal.
And....the 2008 GTR will be badged as a Datsun.

Mazda can't sell rotarys, GM lost $5M plus on rotarys, Even Renault is smart enouth to evoid rotarys. I don't believe the 2% but wait until the guys over at RX7 get wind of this. I will reconsider rotarys when they spin 18k rpms or they power F1.

***Updated***
I just got off a conference call with Nissan and there have been some subtle changes since my revealing conversation earlier in the afternoon.
Nissan North America has decided to up the horsepower to 650 whp to compete directly with the Carrera GT. This certainly is an exciting time for us Z owners. The suspension is currently being engineered by Aufrecht, Melcher, Grossapach. Such is necessary to accomodate all the power being transmitted to the wheels.
Also, in honor of the loyal Z culture, Nissan has decided to offer the new 2007 350Z for the same retail amount as the 1969 240Z debuted for....adjusted for inflation of course.
You will be able to buy a 650 whp 350Z for $7,413.79.
This vehicle will be available October of 2006.
THIS JUST IN....IT WILL BE AWD.
An exciting time indeed.
