    Nissan Z Officially Revealed With 400 HP (298 kW) Twin-Turbo V6

    The Nissan 370S debuted over a decade ago but its replacement has finally arrived and is called the Nissan Z coupe.

    It features a new twin-turbocharged V6 engine, an upgraded interior, and styling nearly identical to the Z Proto concept we saw less than a year ago.

    It will launch in two standard trim lines, Sport and Performance as well as a special Proto Spec option on the top-end model that draws inspiration from last year’s well-received concept.

    Under the hood, you will find a new twin-turbo 3.0-litre V6 good for 400 horses (298 kW) and 475 Nm (350 lb-ft) of torque sent exclusively to the rear wheels. Those numbers represent an improvement of 68 hp (51 kW) and 108 Nm (80 lb-ft) over the outgoing 370Z. This power plant is paired with a six-speed manual as the standard transmission and includes a high-performance clutch, baked-in rev-matching, and even a launch control system on the Performance model. Launch control and rev-matching also carry over to the optional nine-speed automatic transmission, as does a limited-slip differential. The Performance model also gets aluminium paddle shifters inspired by the GT-R.

    Inside you will find a nice blend of modern technology and comfort with bucket seats looking very similar to those found in the GT-R.

    The centre stack features a dash-mounted cluster of analogue gauges inspired by the 240Z, with readouts for turbocharger boost, turbocharger turbine speed, and a voltmeter. Right in the middle sits a standard 8.0-inch touchscreen display, while a larger 9.0-inch touchscreen with navigation and Wi-Fi is available on the Performance trim.

    While Nissan offers nine exterior colour options at launch. Buyers can select from six two-tone paints, each with a contrasting black roof: Brilliant Silver, Boulder Gray, Seiran Blue, Ikazuchi Yellow, Passion Red, and Everest White. You can go a bit further with three single-tone paint options too: Black Diamond, Gun Metallic, and Rosewood Metallic.

    Nissan South Africa has yet to confirm if this new coupé will be making its way to local shores but we would be very surprised if it did not.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
