Q602B directed me to this article in another thread where we were discussing Q90. There are a few vague tidbits in the article relevant to Q60 that i figured deserved their own thread.
NISSAN Z: DEVELOPMENT OFFICIALLY STARTS! | GT Channel

Article claims Q60 will see the hybrid system from the M but I think its more likely we see the same performance Hybrid setup that Infiniti debuted on Q50.For example, we now know that the powerplants for the car have been determined, and the car will definitely continue with a V-6. Early reports indicate that the next Z will be powered by a newly developed 3.0-liter V-6 (replacing the VQ) and a hybrid system with a 3.5-liter gasoline engine, the same setup in the Infiniti M Hybrid.
Ok so we'll see the redesigned Q60 in '15 or '16. I'm betting we see it in concept form sometime in '14, production ready in '15 on sale in '16....Nissan feels there's a lot of pressure on them to get the next Z just right in the midst of this changing sports-car market where being environmentally responsible is just as important as being able to go fast. Look for the car to be ready in 2015.
