Just the fact that it's a twin turbo V6 means if everything else was kept constant, it's going to be noticeably heavier. Cast manifolds, two turbos, all the associated piping and intercooler(s), etc.
Add in new crash standards and such, I won't be surprised to see it 150 lbs heavier than the 370Z. As long as it has enough space for monster rubber and enough brake, I don't see it as that big of a deal.
EDIT: But I'm really disappointed because at first they made it sound like it might go on sale late next year, now it's sounding like late 2022 at the earliest.
