tmJak Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Renault hopes the car will tempt buyers away from the Peugeot 407 Coupé. So would a Cinquecento Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcash5 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I always thought the 350z engine was a renualt lump lifted from the valsatis (spelling) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I always thought the 350z engine was a renualt lump lifted from the valsatis (spelling) Don't start that one again! Its a common myth - its actually a Nissan engine used by Renault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Agree with you guys, thats fugly. And only 240BHP?! You need at least 300BHP these days in a coupe Looks like a crap attempt to mix a G37 and an Aston (rear profile looks similar to current Astons) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmackfc Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Why bother putting a V6 in it and not even using the full power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 But then I guess we should be pleased it isn't fully opened up otherwise it would go head on with the Zed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need at least 300BHP these days in a coupe perhaps thats more of a condition installed by Nissan which I have to say I'm glad about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Wouldn't fancy 300 bhp through the front wheels anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmmackfc Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Wouldn't fancy 300 bhp through the front wheels anyway. Fair point, forgot it was FWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 ah thats maybe the reason, 240bhp seems about the the limit for FWD cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zummertor Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I bet at least one 350z will have this revving beside it at the lights by the end of the year. Not even a pretty car but it will hit the corporate car lists as it as at least 2+2 so those that run a ban on 2 seater cars will still be able to get it.

bronzee Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 ah thats maybe the reason, 240bhp seems about the the limit for FWD cars One of my mates Nissan street car was running in excess of 290fwkw's (nearing 400bhp at wheels), when he takes it down the strip, goes straight as a dye too, thrashes all the zeds easily, doesn't have so many traction problems. Lol, it's a tiny bit modified. So it possible with a tiny bit of work. But I still wouldn't buy the Renault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down a strip might be fine, engine weight over the wheels etc., but round the twisty stuff and trying to lay the power down and steering it must torque steer all over the place.....

Sarnie Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 1) The dullest colour ever. Since when does grey entice masses of people to buy a car? 2) FWD 3) 240 bhp 4) rear lights like a ford focus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Down a strip might be fine, engine weight over the wheels etc., but round the twisty stuff and trying to lay the power down and steering it must torque steer all over the place..... I wouldn't disagree there. The only thing I'd say is that particular car goes surprising well, irrespective, but it's still FWD. Long live RWD (or real wheel drive as I call it).
