Has anyone heard or seen this? Supposedly a supercharged version of the Murano?

I'd love to see some pic's!!

Here is a link to where I heard this...

This thing sounds SWEET!

They are claiming the horsepower has been increased by 50% and yet it is still going through the CVT. While that may be great for a one-of-a-kind concept car, it is highly doubtful that the CVT would survive for long under that stress in the real world. The Murano GT-C is simply a show car used by Nissan to bring attention to the Murano. Nothing more.

Agree with Joe. I just cannot imagine this sort of power going through the current CVT. "Cooking" comes to mind....

dosn't look all to dramatic from the outside. but it sure sounds dramatic under the hood

You all know that Nissan detuned the 350Z engine to fit the MO CVT transmission because the torque was too high for the belt!!!
Audi has the same problem with his Multitronic.:4:

that would be great if they mounted the mo's engine transverly like in the z's think of all the upgrades you can do then. WOOHOOOO

I assume you meant longitudinal (front to back) and not transverse (side to side). Yes?

If you mount the VQ longitudinally you might as well go all the way and install a manual six-speed and make it rear wheel drive. Now start thinking of all the upgrades you can do. You would have an SUV with the Z's pedigree.

There is simpler solution - go and get a FX! It does have engine mounted longitudinal, is RWD and does have Z-pedigree....

Oh, and there is plenty of room under the hood of FX35 just waiting for all the mods....

 

[nissanlove]

but not enough room in the cabin for all our stuff haha. thanks for the correction njjoe. i always manage to mess that one up.

nissanlove

you want room or fun?

 

[nissanlove]

[Nizmo]

Ok, tuff choice~

Room for the chick~
Fun for the ride~

I just gotta say that I really like the idea of OEM supercharged VQs. I wouldn't trade it in and get a supercharged one just because it had a supercharger. But when I was ready to trade in, I would opt for the supercharger all things being equal. Turbocharged would have the opposite effect on me.

Having owned a 94 Tbird with a Supercharged 3.8L 6 cyl , and a 4 cyl Turbo Charged Dodge, I agree with you.
The constantly available torque is a lot of fun.
SC for me all the way.
