The all-new 2009 Nissan 370Z, the first full redesign of the iconic Nissan Z since its reintroduction as 350Z or Fairlady Z (in JDM) back in year 2003. Nearly every piece of component of the 370Z has been redesigned, including a shorter wheelbase, greater use of lightweight body materials, and larger engine with 26 more horsepower than 350Z.

A new 7-speed automatic transmission and the world's first synchronised downshift rev matching system for the 6-speed manual transmission. Performance has been enhanced with a more rigid body structure, better power-to-weight ratio and a new 332 horsepower 3.7 litre DOHC V6 with Variable Valve Event and Lift Control.

The 370Z powerplant is substantially more powerful than every other car in the same market segment (RX-8, S2000, SLK350) and even scores a 9kW advantage over the iconic Porsche 911 Carrera.
