Nissan 450 Z
It's in French so I don't really know much about it other than the fact that it'll have a 430 bhp V8.

Looks beautiful, 430bhp is a nice amount.

Sweet, they should have done this along time ago...except put the Titan's 5.6L V8 in there, make it light and tuned that bitch up for ~550hp+

How heavy is it going to be?
They bump the power.. then probably bumped the weigth as well.. that seems to be the trend these days

hmm.. the original 350z is kinda hefty to begin with... dont know about this, especially cause this is the first time hearing about this..
and if they put the Titan 5.6L in (which one probably couldnt even fit in the engine bay) it would just be too heavy to be practicle.. they'd have to throw in such a beefy transmission to handle that torque... and no one needs another SRT10 Roadster

lol treading into unsafe terriotry there.
But I don't really see Nissan making this. I mean if it had 430bhp, it'll be a little too close in performance to their new Skyline, regardless of how much hp it as and if it'll ever comes out. Besides, its hideous  .

I can't see Nissan making a V8 Z car and releasing a new GTR which is suppose to be the halo car for the company, its a good idea though and should have happened on release.

looks pretty nice to me, i like the 300zx-ish rear trunk lid and the new side skirt area.
i'll reserve judgement on it's potential performance/handling until it actually comes out, though.

If Porsche can sell a 911TT, a 911 GT2, a 911 GT3 and then clubsport versions of all of the above, why could Nissan not sell 2 similarly performing cars?
The above "They would never build/sell another" is quite flawed...

I think he was talking about if you put the 5.6L in there...that would probably give around 500hp...
