Don't count on the V8 Z anytime soon. Nissan has played with that idea several times in the past with previous Z models. The only V8's they ever put into Z cars were in a few of their race cars.
IMHO- With the state of the economy in the US and oil prices moving in an upward direction a V8 Z is a long shot to actually happen. I read an article a couple of days ago that Nissan reported over a 20% decrease in sales last month. And just about every major auto manuafacturer is having the same results. Big engines do not drive sales like they did a year ago. Again, just my opinion.

 

all the aesthetic remarks remind me of the same fallacious complaints when the new GT-R teaser shots and renderings first came online years ago...now that the real GT-R is out, all those words mean nothing and a few folks had to eat their own words in the end! The turnout response on the new Z34 (speculation name of course) will be interesting!

 

i'll take a v8 over a v6 anytime of the day...

 

IMO fugly as hell! once again just my opinion.

 

Horrible front end

 

Yea... I'm sure autoblog.com is a very reliable source.

 

there is no replacement for displacement, as long as the weight/weight distribution aren't penalized too severely. it's great to have tq at 1500 and hp at 7000. I would definitely consider this car if it was available with a v8 and a sub 3250 weight. and under 40K

 

I wouldn't want a V8 to begin with...

Second, what's up with the gay headlights?

 

i heard GM is working with nissan and is going to put an LS3 in it. it'll be the 620Z.

btw those headlights blow ***.

 

That must be some good weed your smoking.

 

I love it.

 

So far what I have seen has me very excited. I think the new headlights and a shorter Z would kick ***. Hope the keep the bump on the hood from the HR. I loved it on my 08 Z was bad ***.

 

every one is talking about how gay this car looks but as soon as the numbers come out, people will love it especially if its a v8 IMHO as long as its fast it will look good

 

Nissan no V8 please. Just t

 

I second this!!!
Turbo the Z up..all you people want a v8 for what? a 4 banger Evo can crap on v8's if done up right so a 6 turbo can do the same with less weight. Follow the Germans and put a TURBO!!

 

 

Ya I know. Looks like they tried to copy the design features of the GT-R. Sharp body lines, roof line, etc....

 

hate to burst your bubble, but this design was out way b4 the gtr's, from my recollection.

 

All of the articles I have read on this car say it was out in 2006 and shown at the Detriot auto show in 2007.
The GT-R concept was out before 2005.

 

you do realize that a tt V6 will prolly weigh more than a well designed V8?
