S16 concept?

[Topper]

gee the VQ38DETT must be small to fit in the front of that

Its in the rear/mid

Who did the exterior styling?
I think I have a pretty good idea

This could be pretty accurate I think.

Sorry that I don't think too highly about french automotive engineering capabilities......the Japs are still more efficient and hardcore in building engines.

On second thoughts, the VQ series aren't so bad after all.

I'm glad that I'm keeping my S15 for good.

 

[gunner93]

Tops,

Bet you wouldnt trade your S15 with that... LOL

 

[Topper]

Your right....

This is a pretty old rumour. Found the same article on a forum just now and was posted in 2003. See HERE

Yeah, that's probably where I got it..!

No... just.... no. I wouldn't. :no: :down:

I thought the VQ was developped before the merge with Renault?

 

[gunner93]

Yes award winning VQs are civilised but awesome indeed. There's this lingering thought among my SR friends here with this inevitable question : What is the best SR Nissan ever built?

a) GTi-R SR20DET
b) S14/S15 SR20DET
c) X-Trail GT SR20VET

I'm sure you guys know the specs at the back of your hand to these motors. Have a go on this.

SillbeerS15 to JPO,

Yes, indeed.

 

[Big Ned]

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the 'S16' on the cover of Best Car Magazine looks like a Merc?

 

[sillbeers15]

I would call it the SLK shadow effect!

SLK.
hairdresser wagon. I hope the Silvia series doesn't end up a hairdressers car

Hmmmm, I could see potential so I put my pretty shocking photoshop skills into action and came up with this

big better imo, has a bit of a UK Vauxhall/Opel Astra VXR look !

What you guys think???

Yes, indeed.

So if they merged after the VQ came out, how is it a Renault engine??

SR20VET - 280bhp out of the box & has variable timing on both cams & cam profile too.

Actually, here's some info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SR20VET#SR20VET

 

[gunner93]

jpo, I second that. Mysteriously, its only plunked on one JDM model. The rest are already on the sedate QRs. The VET never had a chance to populate like the v-tecs. Its really a shame.

HeL1x,

How about edit one with a rear wing and URAS-look body kit to give it a lowered look.

 

[sillbeers15]

JPO,

The VQ series has pure Nissan DNA, just like the SR.

It is rumoured that the S16 might contain a renult engine....perhaps from the Megane 225?

 

[ichi-go]

I dont think they'll reuse the SR20. Probably a small cc V6.

I reckon the best SR20 has to be the GTi-R. It screams race build all over it. Quad throttle bodies, largest bearing in the sr family,uses the biggest turbo in the sr family and solid lifters.

 

[sillbeers15]

Agree.

Think that might be stretching my skills

You cant really tell what the back looks like from the that one pic, however it looks a bit like a 350z rear end. I just hope they make a decent design.

Likewise - as much as I like the Z, I like the S-shapes too for being 4-seaters, low & long as opposed to the Z's more squat muscly stance which is good in itself but not a basis for an S.
