Official Nissan Z "Z34" Thread

[TinmanMS6]

Looking pretty much like what everyone has been expecting for months now, the 2010 Nissan 370Z dropped this morning. The company hasn't released any details, although from the new nomenclature we can surmise that the sports car contains the new 3.7L V6 as used in the Infiniti G37. The new Z goes on sale early in 2009, and we'll see it live at the LA Auto Show in a few weeks.

First Official 2009 Nissan 370Z Photos

The last teaser shots have dropped, and Nissan has finally revealed the 2009 370Z in full, roadgoing trim. We’ve got interior and exterior factory shots, and it’s clear that for its first full redesign since its 2003 introduction, the 370Z is going a bit retro. Just as in the images that were leaked this spring, the new car strikes a handsome balance between the classic long-hood, short-deck look of the original 240Z, while maintaining the taut lines and intricate lighting of current Nissans. The new Z’s interior keeps a similar layout but gets a stronger, more modern look with taller central gauges and a large central information screen similar to those in other Nissan/Infiniti products.

The name change hints at the reported 330-horsepower 3.7 liter V6 under the hood. The 370Z is also reportedly shorter, wider and lighter than the outgoing car, so the power increase will be put to good use thanks to the agile, all-new platform underneath.

The 2009 370Z is scheduled to meet the public at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19, with an on-sale date in early 2009.

It does look similar to a Crossfire. But the 370z does not look like a dog taking a crap.

LMAO!

 

[NCZ13]

that interior is full of win.

 

[Chibana]

I'm in love. The 7-speed twin clutch version is almost certainly going to be my upcoming recreational/toy vehicle.

 

[altspace]

the interior is a hell of an upgrade from the 350Z. the old doors were sooooo plain imo.

I so agree.

NISMO 370Z Image Hits the Web

This is what appears to be the first official image of the NISMO 370Z. With the recent 370Z reveal, it seems likely this visually amped-up version of it will also see the streets sometime in 2009 as well.

NISMO is Nissan's own tuning division, with the name derived from NISsan MOtorsports. Details are few about what tuning features it will have but you can get an idea here with what NISMO did with the previous 350Z.
The new Nissan 370Z will feature a new 3.7 liter, 330 hp engine, which adds 30 additional horses in output compared with the 300 hp of the 350Z. The NISMO 370Z will come with lots of additional exterior bells and whistles but no news on whether NISMO will offer any additional horses, which the last NISMO 350Z did not.

Nissan will unveil the new 370Z Coupe at the LA Auto Show on the 19th of November. It will go on sale in early 2009.

Nissan 370Z officially rated at 332 HP

Images of the all new 2009 Nissan 370Z have been trickling out of Nissan for the past few weeks as a lead up to the car's official unveiling at the 2008 LA Auto Show. Details have been mostly speculation thus far, but now some of the rumors can be laid to rest, thanks to information in a photo caption from the LA Auto Show's website. The new Z will reverse the recent automotive trend of bloated model redesigns by featuring a reduced wheelbase and more lightweight body pieces. We also now know that its VQ37 engine will put down exactly 332 horsepower. That is a couple more ponies than are currently produced by the same engine inside the Infiniti G37. For those who like to rest their left foot while driving, a 7-speed automatic transmission will also finally be offered. And for those who enjoy some fancy footwork, but don't have a perfectly calibrated heel-toe, a rev-matching downshift system will be available for the 6-speed manual.

Official: Nissan 370Z Produces 332hp

Features downshift rev-matching system on new manual transmission

We've got some numbers to go with the shots Nissan recently provided of the 2009 370Z, set to debut at the Los Angels Auto Show later this month. According to the LA Auto Show's website, the redesigned Z's new DOHC 3.7 liter V6 boosts power by 26 horses over the outgoing model, to 332. A Variable Valve Event and Lift Control is part of the new drivetrain, as is a choice of seven-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmissions. The 370Z's new manual transmission also features synchronized downshift rev matching programming.

Nismo S-Tune 370Z Officially Confirmed

S-Tune packages for the new 370Z will be available from dealerships

Nissan has announced two S-Tune packages for the new 370Z that will be available directly from dealers as soon as the 370Z arrives.

The first one will be the Nismo S-Tune Aero Package, which is focused, as the name implies, on an improved aerodynamic performance. It includes a front protector, side skirts and a rear spoiler to improve airflow around the car, increasing downforce and eliminating lift. There is an extension nose piece -- a stylistic reference to the long bonnet of the old 240Z. It also comes with Nismo floor mats, which is really what you want to spend all this additional money for.
The second is the Nismo S-Tune Performance Package and this is the one that includes the treats for a more exciting ride. It comes with Nismo Stainless Exhaust to provide better response and give the engine a more rumbling soundtrack. There are Nismo LMZ5 19" wheels, new break pads and S-Tune Suspension which upgrades the springs and dampers for tighter control on those winding roads.

And yes, this one comes with the floor mats too. Pricing details still not available.

Hmmm. Will this 7-speed "automatic" really be an automatic, or will it be a twin-clutch automated manual (DSG-style) transmission? I had read a while back that it was going to a get a version of the paddle-shift twin-clutch tranny in the GT-R. If it's a "normal" automatic, this car will probably be off my list. I need something the wife can drive, but I won't do a normal slushbox.

 

[Kymerik]

ugly ass nasty back end! weird roof line...and only a 30hp boost over the 3.5L even after the new technologies deployed? weak....

2010 Nissan 370Z Unwrapped

 

[Chibana]

Wow, I am liking that a lot. I sure hope the 7-speed lives up to my hopes and expectations. I need something my wife can drive, but also something I'm willing to drive.

 

[redrims]

I like it too.

 

[CantCMe]

I'm kinda diggin' that...
