Links for those who came late to the party

 

those are just artist renditions of what the cars could look like. They are not actual pictures released from NISSAN.

EDIT: looks more like a porsche.

 

We have no definite answers regarding the 07's let alone the 08's.

Patience people, patience.

 

i went by the dealership today and one of the salesmen said (who knows if they know what theyre not talking about or not) that the 07's were remain completely unchanged but the 08's will be changed but they dont have any info on it yet

 

Someone enlighten me as to why a newly introduced engine like the 3.5 VQHR will only live ONE year on the '07 Zs and then jump to a 3.7? We already know the '07 Z and G35 sedan will get the HR.

I have my share of doubts that the 3.7 liter engine will make it so soon, because if Nissan needed a boost of power in general, they could of easily altered the current VQ to 3.7 to gain it w/o spending so much on r&d for the new HR.

I highly think the 3.7 will arrive at least 2-3 years AFTER the release of '07s G35 Coupe to be used in redesigns in both the Gs and Z. Because Nissan was able to develop the HR to extend the Z and both Gs' to a possible 350hp (100/liter), there is no point in using a superior 3.7 engine now and keeping it for future G/Z generations. It's pretty easy to see, the revised HR engine is to the revised Gs/Zs while the current VQ is to current Gs/Zs. Both the revisions in design and engine go hand-in-hand as an intermediate step to the 3.7 liter.

If you look at the timeline, it's pretty convincing as well.
Current VQ engine was slapped into the G/Z in '03.
Fast forward 3 yrs to '06, new VQHR confirmed to be in G/Z

As I've stated above, I believe the new HR is here to stay for that same period of time, 3 yrs until we see 3.7 introduced.

The same can be said about the horsepower of the future G/Zs up to 350.
Introduction of G/Z ranged from 260-287.
Fast forward 3 yrs and we have 298-300 for both those cars, that's range of an additional 40 hp.
With the new HR and assuming Nissan will slowly upgrade the hp like they did from '03-'06, the new G/Zs can easily expect 350 in three years.

So that's my analysis, feel free to correct me. I pulled those hp and dates from Wiki.

 

If the '07 Z is going to be completely unchanged, why aren't they on the lots yet?

 

I hope they drop that hideous front, it just looks bad.

 

Because they still have quite a few 06 models left would be my guess.

 

Ugliest Z in the history

 

Terrible! looks like a Vanquish/Porsche? Anyway I don't take anything seriously from R&T..except the photos of real cars!

 

the rendering is pretty bad, i'll stick with my 04 if that's the case

 

They better put the 3.7 in the 08 even if it isn't a redesign.

 

I like it. I reminds me of a Ferrari. It's a nice aggressive look.
