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.

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.
