日产新一代370Z将提供混动版本,该车将搭载一台由奔驰提供的2.0升四缸引擎和一台电机,后者采用类似三明治方式夹在汽油引擎和七速自动变速器之间。车辆综合输出功率184千瓦/247马力，扭矩350牛米。虽然动力性相对于370Z标准版要弱很多，但百公里油耗仅为5升。混动版本主要针对欧洲和日本市场，而北美市场将提供搭载3.0升V6奔驰引擎的车型。预计混动版价格将比标准版车型低很多。

 

Nissan Z to offer a turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid engine

Nissan’s corporate vice president recently hinted the 370Z successor could be offered with multiple engines and a new report is indicating one of them could be a hybridized four-cylinder.

 

According to Japan's Best Car Magazine, the next-generation model will be launched initially as a convertible with an eco-friendly engine.

 

Details are limited but sources say the model will use a Mercedes-sourced 2.0-liter four-cylinder and an electric motor that is sandwiched between the engine and a seven-speed automatic transmission. This setup will reportedly enable the car to produce 247 bhp (184 kW) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft of torque. This would make the model significantly less powerful the 370Z but it could enable the car to return 20 km/L (5L/100km / 47 mpg US / 56.4 mpg UK).

 

The hybrid variant is designed to appeal to European and Japanese customers but Americans will reportedly get a high-performance variant that uses a Mercedes-sourced 3.0-liter V6.

 

The magazine goes on to say the model will be significantly cheaper than the 370Z and could adopt a targa top to help reduce costs.
