The new Nissan 370Z range: Performance made more accessible

Revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March, the 370Z Nismo is the second model in Nissan's new European Nismo lineup. The ultimate 370Z packs a 344bhp 3.7-litre V6 - up 16bhp on the standard car - a dramatic bodykit, uprated suspension and brakes plus a sports exhaust.

And that concept of muscular performance continues with a revised and now simplified MY13 lineup which consists of just two other trim grades in Europe - the 370Z and 370Z GT.

With 328bhp and 363Nm of torque from its 3.7-litre V6, the 370Z GT is set to make similarly priced rivals look distinctly weedy. It replaces the outgoing GT Pack and has Nissan's Connect Premium audio and satellite navigation system as standard.

In addition, both the MY13 370Z and 370Z GT benefit from daytime running lights and a new front bumper while new colours are available too - Magma Red and Midnight Blue - replacing Black Rose and Le Mans Blue.

The GT now features new 19-inch alloy wheels with red brake callipers, while the 370Z entry-level car gets 18-inch alloy wheels previously only available on the Roadster.
