The all-new 2009 Nissan 370Z, the first full redesign of the iconic Nissan Z® since its
reintroduction as a 2003 model, solidifies the strengths of its predecessor with an
unmatched balance of performance, style and value. Targeting segment-leading
performance and a base price of around $30,000, the new Z® provides passionate
performance at an excellent value. This new “Everyday Sports Car” is scheduled to go on
sale in North America in January 2009, followed by a new 370Z Roadster for the 2010
model year.

Nearly every piece and component of the 370Z has been rethought or redesigned
(compared to the previous 350Z) – a shorter wheelbase, greater use of lightweight body
materials, larger engine with 26 more horsepower, a new 7-speed automatic transmission, a
world’s first synchronized downshift rev matching 6-speed manual transmission, a new high
quality interior design and new available technology features.

The 370Z’s new aerodynamic body is more compact and offers a more aggressive stance.
Attention to details such as the new “boomerang” headlights and taillights increases its
dynamic presence, elevating the overall styling to much higher quality and emotional levels.
Performance has been enhanced with a more rigid body structure, better power-to-weight
ratio and a new 332-horsepower 3.7-liter DOHC V6 engine with Variable Valve Event and
Lift Control (VVEL). Crisp handling is provided by a refined 4-wheel independent
suspension, while steering and braking systems, including available Nissan Sport Brakes,
have also been upgraded.

The dramatic new interior utilizes an innovative driver-centric three-layer design which
groups items by how a driver sees information, operates the controls and is held in place –
so drivers feel completely connected and engaged whenever and wherever they drive.
Available technology features include Nissan Navigation System with XM NavTraffic® with
Real-Time Traffic Information (XM® subscription required, sold separately) and 9.3GB Music
Box Hard Drive and a Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System. The new Z® is offered in two
models: 370Z and 370Z Touring.

I think that is a diff cooler. That car is most likely the prototype. Edmunds said there would be one prototype and 2 production z.

Marco69 · 11-17-2008, 01:22 PM

So, not much weight reduction after all still more than 3200 lbs for the base manual...

cstr_Cali · 11-17-2008, 07:03 PM

Weight? Honestly, who cares? There's only so much that can be done with the numerous compromises made in order to sell a (key word here) *safe* mass produced car. At least its no 5th generation Camaro.

I'm totally not surprised they need a V8 model to lug all that mass in order to live up to the performance rep.
