  • In detail: the new Nissan 370Z

    May 14, 2008 11:19 AM

    Nissan’s successor to the 350Z, the 370Z, will be “very much an evolution” of the current car but with an even greater emphasis on agility, according to the company’s design chief, Shiro Nakamura.
    Speaking at Nissan’s recent ‘360’ event, where the company showcased its global product range to journalists and showed a teaser of the new two-seater for the first time, Nakamura said the car will be even more aggressive than the 350Z, with more muscular panel surfaces.

    I was lucky enough to drive a 350Z a while after they were released. Back in those days they had under 300bhp. The one thing I dont recall thinking when walking away from the car was "..Needs more power..".

    If the 370Z remains true to its roots there will be a few, slightly miffed, M3 owners at traffic lights wondering why the Z car in its mirrors won't go away.

    I personaly can't wait. In the wet or in the dry roundabouts will never be the same again..

    ..Just a thought.. hmm

    I've always had a sneaky liking for the 350Z even thought (briefly) about buying one when I was looking at the Celica I eventually did buy. It was the stupid bracing bar across the boot and the lack of backseats that really made me decide against it, despite the exciting drive and the great sound. This 370Z is just how a sporty coupe should look.

    They do look good except 2 of Autocars 3 photos have some serious lens fogging and you can't really see much! This is an evolution so we can guess it'll be close to current, no bad thing either, especially in dark colours which suit it best.

    The 370Z has the power to trouble a Boxster but realistically its competitor will be the Audi TT just below. In the looks department the TT I'm afraid wins hands down - it's simply gorgeous. For the petrolhead enthusiast the 370Z looks the more fun and rewarding drive. Never thought I'd say that about a Nissan!
