Nissan is offering the first look at the brand new 370Z with the release of a set of pictures ahead of the sports coupe's world debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show on 19 November.

As anticipated, the Japanese automaker did not reveal any technical official specification sheets. But it's no secret that the new Z' will share its more powerful 3.7-liter V6 VQ37 engine producing roughly 330hp that can be hooked up to either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 7-speed automatic transmission.

The design team over at Nissan's headquarters chose an evolutionary approach for the 370Z's exterior styling but the sports coupe does appear to sit on a shorter wheelbase than the current 350Z. It also looks like it features a shorter rear overhang which results to a more aggressive stance that reminds us of the BMW Z4 Coupe, one of the Z's main rivals.
