hmm new 450Z huh?
well i came accross that article did u guys hear about this??
=======================
Hold on to your seats, as Nissan is planning to drop a potent V8 into its striking 350Z sports car. Nissan is planning to input the 4.5-liter V8 that powers several Infiniti models into its 350z sports car to create a 400 horsepower hot rod.
The muscled-up coupe would be called the 450Z, and it will kick out about 295kW, says U.K. magazine Autocar. So far, the more powerful coupe has not been confirmed for production, but Nissan is seriously considering it in a bid to compete with the likes of Porsche, and the new BMW Z4 M Coupe.
The 450Z could also have an Audi quattro-style four-wheel-drive transmission in order to make sure the V8's output can be safely transferred to the road. The only problem is that the V8 currently doesn't meet all worldwide emissions rules. But Nissan is planning to modify the engine to meet Euro IV standards as it's planning to launch Infiniti in Europe in early 2007.

I hope you were being sarcastic
