Message	the only thing I don't understand about this new car is that they have employed Lotus to engineer its steering, suspension, and drivetrain. Also it might come with a Cosworth-developed TT version of the current 3.5 producing somewhere around 450hp. Why would Nissan, who had such great success with the 300TT, need to employ outside engineers and engine builders?
