LRF4N Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 New rival to the mx5 from Nissan? Looks wierd lol http://www.worldcarfans.com/11108023541 ... 5---report I remember they brought out a 'baby 350z' concept out not long after it's release as well but that never materialised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Was reported years ago but nothing came of it. I expect there will be something similar to the Alfa 4C at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Was just about to post about this. It's pipped to be the new 200sx. At a massive 150kws (whatever that is in bhp - not very much). I can't understand why you'd put such a small power plant in a car that's purportedly going on the 370z chassis and is supposed to be sports car. For those that don't know the S15 200sx, it was 165kws (whatever the bhp is can't remember) the Spec R having the turbo to provide a bit of extra omph. Curb weight this end of the pond was at 1267kgs. Back step, if that's what they do. In my opinion anyway. It's a bit like a Celica in that case, looks the part, but can't deliver the speed. Really waters down the whole purpose of a sports car. Link to our major newspaper over here, article ran in this mornings paper. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/motoring/news ... d=10571208 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 I read somewhere that they have managed to mate a electric motor into the 7AT torque converter of the 370z/G37. I would imagine they will use something similar with a smaller motor to give a similar power output, maybe even more torque than the current cars!

LRF4N Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 I also read it's the 200sx replacement but there's an s16 in the pipeline that's completely different to this. Looks more like a 100nx sized car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks more like a 100nx sized car? Following on with the models, S16 would still be a Sylvia if they retain the model number line. We'll wait and see what comes to fruition.
