Next Generation Z Car, With A Factory Turbo? Yesss!

I love working for a Nissan Dealership!  Every single week i'm hearing news or seeing articles that kick my imagination into gear!  For starters Nissan has confirmed that the Nissan IDX Concept will go into production, and now I find a Article claiming that the Next Generation Z car will have a Factory Turbo!  Yesssss!  

Nissan's always changing their cars up, and tempting my imagination with so many concepts and ideas! I've always loved the Current 370z, especially the Nismo version, but imagine Nissan taking the Z car back to it's roots by dropping a turbo under the hood!     


The next-generation Nissan Z-Car is coming and this new version could be a dramatic departure from the current Nissan 370Z, which dates back to 2009. Code-named Z35, the next-gen Nissan Z is rumored to be lighter, slimmer, and more like the original Datsun 280Z's image than ever before. Key to returning to its roots is a new engine for the Nissan 370Z-successor, which is rumored  to be either a turbo-4 or a traditional V-6. Paragraphimage Though the Nissan Z has been known for its six-cylinder powerplant, Nissan plans to begin weaning its customers off of the V-6 by offering a turbocharged I-4 alongside it, with the ultimate goal of the turbo-four replacing the V-6. The turbocharged powerplant would reportedly be a 2.5-liter I-4, making at least 330 hp and returning decent fuel economy. The Z35's V-6 would almost certainly be part of the VQ family of sixes. The current-generation Nissan 370Z's 3.7-liter V-6 makes 332 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque, while the 370Z Nismo gets 350 hp and 276 lb-ft of torque. A turbo-4-powered version of the next-gen Nismo Z will likely at least match the current 370Z Nismo's power output.


To Me this article makes total sense! When you factor in the News of the Nissan Idx concept going into production it makes sense that Nissan is headed back to it's roots in the design of Future products!

Nissan Idx concept, inspired by the Datsun 510 comes to Albuquerque.

I believe this will be a great tuner car, especially the Nismo edition. I'm totally or shall I say we are totally stoked at Melloy Nissan about recent News that Nissan will produce the Idx concept in 2016. Here's some info I found about the car on NissanNewsRoom

Many digital natives grew up playing racing simulation games that feature cars of the past and from all corners of the globe. They have a natural desire to realize that virtual driving experience in real cars of their own, and that is the basis of the IDx NISMO concept.

Not limited to being inspired just by racing cars, IDx NISMO was born from a refined combination of the freedom to borrow liberally from memorable vehicles of yesteryear and the present, in addition to whatever was felt exudes "cool."

The IDx NISMO's co-creation dialogue took the distilled heritage of Nissan's basic box-shaped racing vehicles of the past and married it with various intriguing new details. This resulted in a car that appears to be timeless and moored in a place all its own.

Though IDx NISMO shares the overall length and height of its Freeflow cousin, the 5.9-foot width (versus 5.6-foot for the IDx Freeflow) of the car is testament to its low, wide stance that emphasizes its sporty proportions.

One of the hallmarks of box-type racecars is speediness conveyed by a reverse-slanted nose. On IDx NISMO, this frontal design element is embellished by an aura of seriousness communicated by the use of carbon panels. Side mufflers provide a pleasing exhaust note. The car also has contemporary touches such as front/rear and right/left aerodynamic spoilers and a lightweight 19-inch wheel and 225/40 tire package.

To meet the high expectations for a powertrain equal to the task of propelling such a formidable car, one proposal from Nissan's engineers is the combination of a high-performance, eco-friendly 1.6-liter direct-injection turbocharged engine, together with a sporty CVT with 6-speed manual shift mode and synchronized rev control. The result is no less than an appealing mix of racing heritage with the finest of modern knowhow.

Scanning the IDx NISMO interior reveals racing-inspired crimson Alcantara® seat covers that entice the eyes, complemented by Spartan-looking meters and gauges that animate the racecar ambience. The lustrous metal surfaces contrast with the bright red suede trim that is augmented by blue stitching.

"This machine's soul-stirring design echoes the racing car imagery of the past united with the buzz digital natives get from the virtual world they know well," said Nakamura. "That this car could result from co-creation dialogue alone exemplifies Nissan's fresh approach to contemplating car design, and even kindles a fire in the hearts of people fond of the good old days of high-performance cars."

The IDx Freeflow and IDx NISMO will be shown at the Nissan display at Detroit's Cobo Hall during the run of the 2014 North American International Auto Show, January 18th through 26th.
