Performance will soon receive an upgrade - with Nissan readying the world for its 400Z NISMO. This platform (which should make its North American debut in 2020) will redefine speed, bringing a twin-turbocharged engine to the highway.
Prepare, Seattle, for a new kind of coupe.
According to The Drive, the 400Z NISMO will revitalize the market. Anchored by 3.0L V6 engine, this platform should yield a staggering 475 HP and 415 lb.-ft of torque. Its lean body (177.9-inches long, 74.4-inches wide, and 48.8-inches high) will boast aggressively-sculpted fenders and a sharp roofline to promote aerodynamics; while twin-turbochargers will optimize every rev, utilizing direct-injection capability to propel the all-season tires forward. A RWD will offer stable handling, balancing the estimated 3,700-pounds of curb weight to maximum effect.
The 400Z - which will serve as the sport coupe successor of the much-beloved Z3 - will allow drivers to experience full-throttle excitement on the highway. Though no official speed ratios have been confirmed, critics anticipate a 0 to 60 run of less than five seconds (thanks to the smooth dual-clutch and drag-reducing architecture). This platform will dominate every mile.
