Is the 350Z getting a baby brother?

The linked article calls it a Baby Z.







Looks like it might be so!

Maybe I-4 FWD Z?

[srpowered240sx]

id rock it, but would rather have a full size z.

[Mr1der]

that's been around a while...

it's cut up Z panels on a smaller probably I4 platform.

perhaps a successor to the Sylvia line but probably not another Sylvia

a mini z is gay, they should just make a RWD car thats completley different.

Whatever happend to the rwd 4 seat 2 door I4? Do they have any idea how much that would sell?

This seems very interesting...............I shall keep an eye on this baby.

There is a VQ25HR engine that Nissan has available too. Wouldn't it be nice if it had the VQ.

[Desmoquattro]

FWD four cylinder?

Sooo it's an Altima 2.5 coupe with a bodykit?

That would seem like a dumb cannibalizing of your own model range. I'd guess it's probably a quasi-240SX replacement with RWD, otherwise it doesn't make much sense. Or maybe it's something completely different that is very well disguised as a Z.

wow you people in this thread need to sharpen your tools... As the G37 is out.. the 350z is still in... so it obvious that there is going to be a new model of 350z... thats car is the next line of z... it's going to be much smaller than the current z...

[themadscientist]

park your Z between a wall and a trash truck, apply pressure, release= baby Z.

[stopatnothing]

My guess is that its gonna be just as retarded as the regular 350.

<-- Not a fan.

i am pretty sure ive seen an article about this before. I beleive that they are using it as a test mule for the motor and drivetrain.

kinda like how nissan used the g35 (skyline 350 gt) as a test mule for the drivetrain and motor for the new GT-R

I think the article explained why that theory is wrong.

its the 2010 z it has a vq37de in it. i went to the chicago auto show and asked about it. official pics will be released soon!!!!!!!!!

[LEMHEAD16]

How about a lightweight Z made to replace the Track version! CF or aluminum body panels and slightly different body lines. I would dig that.
