2015 Nissan 370Z NISMO Automatic - Car and Driver (blog)
Now in its sixth generation, Nissan’s iconic Z is a pleasing package of power and handling. Then check out the NISMO model with its snazzier styling and rear spoiler. With 350 hp—18 more than the Z—it might not be faster, but it looks it. Instrumented Test – 2016 Nissan 370Z Other than swapping an ashtray for a cup holder and Datsun badges for Nissan medallions, the Z-car has harkened to the same formula for 46... A popularly priced two-seat GT with six-cylinders, a long hood, a short deck, a fastback roofline, and a rear hatch aptly describes both 2016 and 1970 models. Over that time, the Z-car’s contemporaries have moved on. Classmates from the 1970s and 1980s such as the Toyota Supra and the Mazda RX-7 scabbarded their samurai swords, and the Porsche 944/968 and Alfa Romeo GTV-6 ascended to autobahn heaven... Even at Nissan, the Z doesn’t bathe in the spotlight as it once did. In a sense, driving the 2016 Nissan 370Z is like bumping into an old friend from the neighborhood. 7-liter VQ37VHR six shared with the Infiniti Q50 and Q70 is very flexible and has ample torque over a wide rpm range. It’ll lug down to 1000 rpm under load in fifth or sixth gear without chugging and, when you light the fuse, provide a charge to 60 mph from rest in 5. 1 seconds. Source: www.caranddriver.com
