In the end, I reckon Nissan will bring it out with a 1.8 or 2.0.

I don’t have a problem with the 1.6ltr engine but it just seems so tiny for a car like this… then again 180 odd kw is pretty good but i can bet my last dollar that will only be for the jap spec, for us around 160kw would probably be more realistic. But anyway lets all hope it still has plenty of tuning potential like the sr20det

180kw from a 1.6 nice, Im guessing around the 220-240Nm, But agree how it makes the SR20 like prehistoric, thanks to technology. But then again its Anticipated…

I’d have no worries about Nissan producing torque from small displacement. The VQ25DET in the NM35 Stagea produces 410nM, with decent economy…all from 2.5 litres. If Nissan use the same recipe then thats 260ish newton metres from 1.6 litres. Makes the 202 from the S15 SR seem a bit lame huh?

I don’t mind the look of it. Sure its not the hottest looking thing out but i would still prefer this over the WRX hatch & Astra VXR. Id even take this over the Hyundai Genesis due to fact it doesn’t have a H badge

A 1.6L does sound a bit small. Any idea toruqe figures ? and im guessing its not going to be the most fuel efficient thing either

Not pretty. I do hope it looks nothing like these artist’s impressions, otherwise I’d agree with Supercujo: Hyundai should outsell this (except for diehard Nissan/Silvia fans).

gotta like Nissan’s sporty niche commitment. everyone else is backing off sports coupe, but nissan is taking huge advantage by releasing or planning to cover all 3 markets.

High – GTR
Medium – 370R
Low – S16

Just wish it was like the 90s, where Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi had entries in all 3 sporty segments..

although, Nissan is still lacking significantly in terms of sales in the high production vehicles… well thats what happens when most resources are used for the “medium-low” production vehicles like sports coupes.
