More rumors regarding possible Nissan 450Z

Nissan is planning to use the 4.5-liter V8 that powers several Infiniti models in its 350Z sports car to create a 400-horsepower hot rod, according to Autocar, as cited my Edmunds. The muscled-up coupe would be called the 450Z, according to the report. The 450Z could also have an Audi quattro-style four-wheel-drive system. It's unclear if this report is based on new information, or if it comes from the same source as a recent report in a French automotive magazine. The magazine said the car would feature a 430 horsepower 4.5 liter V8 and would target the Porsche 911 Carerra. A computer rendering accompanied that report.
