VR30DDTT Engine Confirmed

[Maverick]

Title says it all. After seeing the interior of the Z prototype, I noticed that it redlined at 7k RPM.

The Infiniti Q60 Red Sport also happens to redline at 7k RPM.

As far as I'm aware, the current Red Sport VR30DDTT is the only Nissan engine that has a 7k redline (note that the regular Q60 redlines at around 6.4k rpm)

Good catch... the question now become, how much does Nissan tune the VR30DDTT for the Z?

The Q60 Red Sport and the regular Q60 are exactly the same engine.

If Nissan makes the standard trim 400 hp, how is that going to affect the Infiniti specs?

The Red Sport starts at 57k. That means that the base Z will probably start at around 55k and the Nismo will be more.

400hp for base, 450 for Nismo (praying for 500 but I doubt Nissan would push it that hard from the factory)

Sidenote- can't wait for the quad exhaust that they'll probably put on the Nismo model. First time ever it's been done on a Z from the factory.
