Nissan 370Z 2010
The 370Z is a performance car bargain. You would have to spend almost double its price on another car to get close to its ability, and you probably wouldn’t have as much fun.That won’t come as a shock to drivers of the 350Z. But I think they will be surprised by just how much their favourite car has grown up. The car still retains its raw soul and passion for slinging itself through corners, it still belts out the best V6 soundtrack in the business and it still has chunky controls – it’s just that it does it all with a new-found level of refinement and finishing that 350Z owners will not recognise.The new styling hints as much, being more fluid, squat and muscular than the more upright and angular 350. It’s no optical illusion, either. The 370 has a 3.9-inch shorter wheelbase and is 2.7 inches shorter overall than the 350. It also has a rear track that’s 2.2 inches wider. If the 350 is a piece of coal, the 370 is that same piece of coal compressed to become a diamond.The front grille design might look like a giant catfish, but it integrates so well you can forgive it. There’s definitely a nod to the GT-R in that roofline – just imagine the A-pillars being blacked out, and you’ll see what i mean – and the original 240Z in the rear quarterlights, so there’s no mistaking who the 370’s parents are. The detailing is better too. The Z-badged indicator repeaters on the front wing are a nice touch, the door handles have a more meaty feel to them, and the boomerang-shaped headlights are bigger and slicker than ever before. These are things you can appreciate immediately but will also enjoy while you own the car.
