2009 Nissan 370Z Caught With Its Hood Open, Trunk Empty [Nissan 370z]

We've already seen most of the Nissan 370Z (even dissecting the design), set to debut at the LA Auto Show next week. Now these photos from GTR-World show us more of a fuller sense of what the engine bay and trunk portal will look like. As you'd imagine, the 3.7-liter VQ37VHR V6 is there in all its normally-aspirated glory, crossed by a large tower bar. Moving to the opposite end of the vehicle you'll notice the 2009 Nissan 370Z features a decently-sized pass-through storage area, at least for this class. What else do we know about the new Z-Car?

Thanks to a leaky auto show website we now know the 370Z will be capable of 332 hp, an increase of 26 hp from the 3.5-liter VQ V6. We also know the Nismo S-Tune will bring upgrades tot he 370Z shortly after its release. It's worth noting, again, all of this has happened before the car has been released. [GTR-World]

Spy Shots: Porsche Panamera Part II

porschepanamera-banner.jpg

Here are latest photos of the Porsche Panamera, on its way to the main entrance of the Nürburgring race track.

The prototype has finally shed some more of its camouflage (come on strip for us) revealing more design and some body panel details. Although the accent lines in the outer doors panels and front and rear bumper fascias are still covered, we can see other details emerging such as an elongated taillight and front headlamp shape.

The Panamera is Porsche’s answer to the Mercedes-Benz CLS; a genuine four-seater cast from the GT mould.

This Porsche will not be a soft comfort-oriented four-door. With direct-injection V8 power and up to 500bhp, it’s not going to be slow.

You will be able to choose from a regular six-speed manual box, or shell out a few extra bills and upgrade to a racy seven-speed twin-clutch arrangement related to VW’s DSG transmission.

In my head when I look at the side shots of this car it basically looks like an stretch 911 with 4 doors and some Cayenne headlights. :)

Porsche Panamera details:
Engine: 400 HP 4.8 liter V8 (Front Engine)
Engine Options: 520 HP Turbocharged
Top speed: 180 mph
Release: 2010
Optional 4×4
Hybrid version planned for 2011
