Though there are not too many people that would say their Nissan 370Z lacks enough performance, there are always a few. And for them, there’s the new NISMO 370Z.

It certainly looks the boy racer part, with the full aero kit treatment including unique front and rear fascias, side sills, and big rear spoiler.  And the overall look is more integrated than last year’s NISMO 350Z. 

But its brawn is more than just skin deep.  In addition to the re-tuned suspension and new 19-inch wheels, the 3.7L V-6 puts out an additional 18 horsepower for an even 350.  A six-speed manual transmission with Nissan’s SynchroRev match is standard.

Inside you’ll find an interior that’s a bit stripped down, but includes unique seats, aluminum pedals, and a serialized number plate. 

The ride is a bit stiffer than before, but the car also stays noticeably flatter in corners with lots of feedback. 

“It’s amazing what a few more horsepower and a few suspension tweaks can do.  The NISMO 370Z feels almost like a totally different car, and it’s definitely got the performance to back up its tuner car looks.” – Brian Robinson
