Nisson will not have the vast quantities of base models to off set the cost of the performance ones.

Will Nissan launch a performance variant for the Z?
Yes, Mustang is saved by the EcoBoost and by the S197 platform, which is well paid off. S550 followed with minimal changes, and I thibk S650 will do the same (don’t fix what is not broken)
Let’s wait and see actual prices, as mentioned, business case is not available. Not sure their strategy, sometimes too much volume is an issue too, and may be contained via higher price, or even to make the product more desirable (I see much people bashing Mustang because it is an attainable American Muscle Car, not because the product itself)
