The North American auto show was officially kicked off at the Los Angeles Auto Show, with the Japanese automaker Nissan introducing its highly-anticipated 370Z sports car.taking the first press conference slot.
The Nissan 370Z is designed as a replacement to the 350Z, the 370Z’s styling is evolutionary rather than revolutionary. 370Z has kept the same general shape as the previous model however the 370Z has received a headlight treatment similar to the design seen earlier on the 2009 Maxima.and now the headlamps will use LEDs.
The rear of the car is also a bit stubbier, with a sharper crease along the trailing edge of the hatch. The 370Z’s rear taillights also have a fishhook design similar to those seen on the Maxima’s headlights.
Nissan 370Z will have a 3.7-litre V6 engine With around 325bhp on tap – the car will also offer a semi automatic gearbox and improved rear-wheel-drive chassis.
There are two gearbox options - a standard six-speed manual, or a brand-new seven-speed paddle shift auto. The manual also gets a trick 'synchro rev control' feature that blips the throttle during changes to make the whole process smoother.It can be turned off, though.
The 370Z will have a shorter wheelbase than that of the current car and will also use more lightweight materials which boost the car overall performance.
The Nissan 370Z have a double wishbone setup up front with a multi-link setup out back. Brembo brakes and 18 and 19 inch wheels will also be part of the 370Z package.
The wheel base of Nissan 370Z is 2550mm which is 100mm shorter than the 350's, while the car's overall length is down 70mm to 4250mm. The width and track are up, making the car squatter and more composed in both style and dynamics.
Car overall weight is also reduced to around 100 kg to 1466 kg which has resulted in more power for the vehicle.
The price of entry model will be available from around £28,500.
