The Nissan Zeds (Z-cars) have always been highly acclaimed by car fanatics all over the world. The 370Z, the latest iteration of Nissan’s Z-car is no exception.
Though the current generation 370Z is perfect, it is offered only with a 3.7l V6 that produces 332bhp, Nissan would be looking to spice-up he next generation Zed (rendered above) by offering a number of engine options.
As Renault-Nissan and Daimler Mercedes Benz have entered an engine-sharing pact, which would see Renault-Nissan supplying three and four cylinder gasoline engines and electric vehicle technology to Mercedes Benz and in turn sourcing four, six and eight cylinder engines from Mercedes Benz.
Renault-Nissan CEO, Carlos Ghosn hinted the company’s interest in plonking these units into the next gen Zed to ensure that the car meets stricter emission standards.
The engines from the Mercedes Benz arsenal that could possibly go into the future Nissan 370Z are the 3.5l V6 petrol hybrid, 3.0l V6 diesel and the 2.2l turbo-diesel hybrid. Another possible option could be Mercedes-Benz’ future Diesotto engine which is essentially a petrol engine which works like a diesel engine. A 1.8l Diesotto engine has the potential to even drive a car like the Mercedes S-Class.
