Rendered Speculation: 2013 Nissan 370Z goes hybrid

The good folks at Road & Track have the trouble of making the next generation Nissan Z went for each viewing pleasure, and if it is to take the car all around the mark, we can have a much slimmer appearance of the sports car expected in the near future. In addition to the more aerodynamic look, R & T reports that Nissan can improve the future condition with a hybrid drive to equip both the performance and reduce fuel consumption simultaneously. A battery would also be a long way to curb emissions of the vehicle.

If the engineers decide to back the 2013 Z, go this way, says R & T that we expect probably the same running gear under the hood, as seen currently found in the Infiniti M hybrid. That is, a 3.5-liter V6 is working with an electric motor, a combined 360 hp and 450 pound-feet of torque to produce. This line of thought through the rumor of a hybrid powertrain test mule Z buzz around the United States intensified in the moment and in this configuration, the publication that the Z should be good for just under 30 mpg says. We guess it will not bother with in his own way.

New Kickboxer Concept is all-wheel-drive diesel insanity on two wheels


It's been a while since we heard from Ian McElroy. As you may remember, he has the twisted eyes that came with the idea of the filing of a Subaru boxer four-cylinder engine between the rails of a motorcycle frame. Now it seems that he has a busy bee, as was shown taking his first on the concept kick boxer. McElroy has set about Reimagining his creation with a diesel boxer lumps in the center of the action. The engine is still available from Fuji Heavy Industries, although it is both small lumps and efficient than the old petrol.

The latest addition to the kick boxer family offers new body and a different swing arm design with a new turbo configuration. Not crazy enough for you? How about an all-wheel-drive version of the oil-combustion-engine stuck in your pipe? McElroy was a twin-chain design that works with some help from a jack shaft, pinion gear and a drive shaft.

These are not just some random renderings, though. McElroy says it all CAD files it needs to manufacture the bikes and set up. All he needs is to do the coin. Shall we start passing the hat?
