Updated 2014 NISMO 370z

They are making it sound like it's a new kit, when the only things that have changed have been paint schemes and steering wheel. So the Nismo kit has always produced the same amount of downforce than the GT-R it sounds like.

Unless there is some new body design that I am just missing.

"This is thanks to a larger diffuser that features integrated twin exhausts, wider side skirts, a fixed rear wing and an updated front-end with a splitter"
But the pieces look the same as the old Nismo.

Yeah that article doesn't make sense to me. It also says...

Under the hood the car keeps the usual 3.7-liter V-6 engine, but output has been increased from the previous 328 horsepower up to 344 horsepower, while peak torque goes from 267 to 273 pound-feet of torque. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission and will sprint the car from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 5.2 seconds — 0.1 seconds faster than the previous year.

Either he doesn't know what he is talking about, or he's comparing the Nismo to the Base 370.

Correct, this is the first time the Nismo is available for the Europe market.

Now that all makes sense to me. I wonder if the 2014 Nismo will come out like this in the states or not.
