Heir to the Z- Nissan 370Z [A]

When images of the 370Z first surfaced across the Internet, it caused uproar amongst Z-fanatics the world over. Sure the dimensions have been scaled back for a tauter façade, but what many people couldn’t comprehend were the strange curved body bits that seem to detract away from the overall aggressiveness of the entire car.

With new torque converter lock-up logic, the new 7-speed automatic feels more direct, like a manual transmission. The new 7-speed’s wide gear ratios offer improved fuel efficiency, while the Adaptive Shift Control is designed to adjust to the driver’s driving style.

With adoption of the new variable ratio brake pedal, pedal stroke feel is more direct. The standard 4-wheel vented disc brake system includes Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA).
