2010 Nissan 370Z
In the first full redesign of the iconic Nissan Z since its re-introduction as a 2003 model, nearly every piece and component has been redesigned. This includes a shorter wheelbase, greater use of lightweight body materials, a new engine with more horsepower and improved fuel economy, a new seven-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, a world’s first synchronized downshift rev-matching system for the manual transmission, and a greatly improved cabin.In keeping with the ‘affordable performance’ theme of its 350Z predecessor, Nissan has priced the 370Z from $29,930 in the U.S. and is once again offering the model in both base and Touring trim. The new price represents a $1,420 increase over the 2008 350Z. Some details we do know include the introduction of Nissan’s award-winning 3.7L VQ37VHR V6 engine in the latest Z. This is the same engine as found in the Infiniti G37 Coupe, and in the new Z-car application, it will make 332hp (247kW). Torque is rated at 270lb-ft (366Nm).The innovative rev-matching downshift feature on the six-speed manual transmission is sure to draw both praise and complaints, as enthusiasts lose one more aspect of control over the car.
