New 370Z Nismo features a host of design and engineering updates

Following the flagship Nissan GT-R Nismo, the new Nissan 370Z Nismo incorporates a host of design and engineering improvements to be the sportiest and most focused Fairlady to date. Harnessing 30 years of Nismo spirit and engineering knowledge, the new 370Z Nismo has been extensively reworked to deliver a sharper and more engaging driving experience.

The front bumper has been completely redesigned and features a larger air intake, additional air inlets ahead of the wheel arch and new LED daytime running lights.

Other updates include the introduction of black headlamp bezels, special red Nismo trim at the base of the bumper, redesigned side sill and door mirror as well as special Nismo badging.

Around the back, Nissan has introduced a new bumper and spoiler design that typifies the brand's approach to design and engineering. As part of a complete rework of the 370Z Nismo's aero package, the new version features a smaller rear spoiler that works in tandem with the new front bumper to create significantly more downforce.

To meet the demands of owners who like to fully exploit the 370Z, the new model features Recaro seats that offer significant improvements in support and comfort.

Based on the acclaimed Recaro Sportster, the new seats have been tailored specifically for use in the 370Z Nismo and feature a host of detail changes to deliver maximum support for drivers. Every aspect of the seat and its position within the car has been analysed by Nissan to create the perfect driving position. The seats are trimmed in red and black leather and Alcantara to match the steering wheel.

The sports coupe is powered by a 339bhp rated, 3.7-litre six-cylinder engine that propels the 370Z Nismo form nought to 100km/h in just 5.2 seconds. Available only as a coupe with a six-speed manual gearbox, the new 370Z Nismo features a number of suspension enhancements, to improve ride comfort with altered rear spring and damper rates. Road noise is further reduced with changes made to the carpets and inner rear wheel arch protectors.
