Nissan 370Z, a Baby GT-R

Equipped with better material and better built, the new 370Z has nothing to be ashamed of compared to other sports car manufacturers like Porsche for example.

Specs & Tech
Under the bonnet you will find the usual Nissan V6, but here as well reworked and retuned to offer 17 more HP than on the previous 350Z. Jumping from 3.5Lto 3.7L with now 332Hp with a red line at 6500rpm, our new Z is capable of achieving 0 to 100 (Naught to Sixty) in just 5.1 sec… Pretty descent spec and time for a car that just coasts around 44 000 € in Europe!

With all these in mind we decided then to give our car a Try and we would like to express our gratitude here to Nissan France for giving us almost a week to fully enjoy this new 370Z.

We already knew that this new Z had nothing in common with its predecessor, and Nissan France insisted on underlining this fact, and oh boy they were right!
Faster, Sharper and more demanding that its fat sister ,the 370Z is utterly a new sports machine.
Better stuck to the road, easy to drive in general, the Nissan 370Z gave us a new idea of what a compact sports car should be, or I dare to say MUST be… And here I am afraid; Porsche has a lot to learn in order for its Cayman or Cayman S to match Nissan’s 370Z’s pleasure of driving and performance.
We will even go further to compare by saying the 370Z has a mini GT-R when it comes to raw power and sports driving pleasure.
More accessible thanks to its new automatic heel-and-toe mode on the 6 speed manual gearbox version, better known as SynchroRev Match that will automatically blip the throttle during downshifts eliminating the need to heel-and-toe downshift. Our new 370Z can unveil the “pilot” in you without the needs to spend hours or even years to perfect the art of heel-and-toeing. Yes, the 370Z is a fun car to drive and even more fun when you know how to handle this beast.
