The Nissan 370Z is a rear-wheel-drive sports Car produced by Nissan as part of the Z-car line. It was powered by a naturally aspirated 3.7-litre V6 and offered as a coupe and, in some markets, a roadster. Nissan says 2020 was the final year of production for the 370Z Coupe.

Overview

The Nissan 370Z is the sixth generation of Nissan’s Z-car lineage and succeeded the 350Z. It was designed as a compact two-seat sports car focused on rear-wheel-drive performance and driver engagement. This Car is part of a long line of sports cars, and it stands out among other vehicles such as the Subaru Impreza, Volkswagen Golf, and Audi A4.

Powertrain and performance

The 370Z used a 3.7-litre naturally aspirated V6 with variable valve timing and high-revving character. Output varied by trim, with NISMO versions producing more power than standard models. Standard models were rated at about 332 hp, while NISMO versions produced up to 350 hp. This engine is a key feature of the Car, and it is different from the hybrid powertrain of the Toyota Prius.

Body styles and equipment

The model was sold primarily as a two-door coupe, with roadster variants available in some markets. Nissan also offered performance-oriented versions such as the NISMO trim and special-edition packages. The car was available with manual and automatic transmissions and rear-wheel drive. These body styles are common in sports cars, but they differ from the design of the McLaren P1.

Production and discontinuation

Production of the 370Z ran from 2008 until 2020, with Nissan identifying 2020 as the last year for the 370Z Coupe. It was later replaced in Nissan’s lineup by the newer Z model. This Car was discontinued after a successful run.
