ALL AUTOCARS

Finally, Nissan has announced that the all-new 2009 370Z Coupe goes on sale in the U.S. today with an MSRP starting at $29,930 for the entry-level model equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and $31,230 with the new 7-speed automatic transmission. The new Z is also offered in a Touring model, which is priced at $34,460 with the 6-speed manual and $35,760 with the 7-speed automatic transmission.

Nissan also offers 370Z buyers the option of two new packages. The Sport Package which is priced at $3,000, includes an array of upgrades such as the 19-inch RAYS forged wheels and Bridgestone Potenza tires, aerodynamic front and rear spoiler, larger Nissan Sport Brakes, SynchroRev Match (6-speed manual transmission only) and Viscous Limited Slip Differential.

The Navigation Package will set buyers back at $1,850 and adds a Hard Drive-based Nissan Navigation System, 9.3GB Music Box Hard Drive and Interface System for iPod.

The rev-matching manual gearbox is a unique feature (which can thankfully be disabled for those that prefer to drive themselves) for the Sport package-equipped models, and in all cars the automatic finally gets an upgrade to a much more modern 7-speed unit. At the heart of the new Z lies a familiar VQ-variant engine displacing 3.7L and rated at 332hp (250kW), though most of the power gain over the outgoing model's 3.5L unit is to be found at the very top of the rev range.

Recently, Nissan has released the NISMO 370Z for the JDM 370Z. The JDM NISMO 370Z features the same upgrades as its American counterpart including a modified version of the 3.7-liter V6 engine that churns out 350 horsepower compared to the standard car's 332HP. Only difference is that while the US-spec model is offered exclusively with a 6-speed manual gearbox, Japanese buyers may also opt for the 7-speed automatic transmission.

NISMO Nissan 370Z JapanThe NISMO package also ads 19-inch alloy wheels shod in 245/40 R19 tires up front and 275/35 R19 at the rear, stiffer suspension and a high-performance brake system.

The coupe's exterior styling is modified with a functional aero kit that includes an extended nose, unique rear fascia, large wing and specific side sills, while the interior is upgraded with a set of sport seats, special door trims and NISMO gauges plus contrasting red stitching on the seats, steering wheel, gearbox knob and handbrake lever. In Japan, Nissan has priced the NISMO 370Z at 4,935,00 Yen (about $51,400 US) for the 6-speed manual gearbox model and at 5,040,000 Yen (approx $52,500 US) for the automatic version.

Central 20 a well known tuner from Japan finally has released a new sport package for the 370Z. Central 20 bodykit for the Nissan 370Z has includes a bodykit with a longer front bumper, side sills and a new rear bumper with side air-vents that brings to mind the Audi R8 but does not seem to tie-in with the rest of the car's looks.

'Central 20' also offers a set of black alloy wheels, new quad exhaust tailpipes, a sport suspension that brings the 370Z closer to the road and a more powerful brake system with 4-piston calipers up front and 6-piston at the rear.

Matchless Crowd Racing (MCR) from Japan planned to unveil their new fully modded Nissan 370Z during the 2009 Tokyo Auto Saloon. However we do not have much details of the car but we know that the car will be fitted with the NISMO aero-package with a front and rear spoiler, side skirts and a rear wing, Enkei alloy wheels wrapped in Yokohama tires, uprated Endless brake system, a sport suspension and a lightweight sport exhaust system.

Nissan has released a new styling kit for the 370Z. If the buyer does not like the S-Tune bodykit then here is another choice for the buyer. The rather simple styling kit for the latest Z which by the way, is called Fairlady Z in Japan, includes a front spoiler, a rear wing with an integrated third-stop light, clear crystal rear tail lamps, 'Z' scruff plates and what Nissan refers to as a 'sports horn'.

Hot on the heels of the recently unveiled Nissan 370Z, images of the Nismo S-Tune edition have surfaced on the web. NISMO will offer 370Z buyers two sport packages that can be combined. The first package is called S-Tune Aero and it includes a full body kit that comprises of a front-end lip spoiler, a new nose, side skirts, a rear-spoiler, fender protectors as well as a set of NISMO-badged floor mats.

The Performance package hones the ability of the standard 370Z with a sports exhaust system, 19-inch forged aluminium wheels, sports suspension and an upgraded performance braking system.
