New Nissan 370Z continues the Z-car bloodline offering an authentic sports car experience with enhanced performance and handling thanks to its more compact dimensions and attention to weight- saving.
In the first full redesign of the iconic Nissan Z since its re-introduction in 2003, the new 370Z now sports a shorter wheelbase, greater use of lightweight body materials, new engine with more horsepower and a new 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, as well as the world’s first synchronized down/up shift rev control system for the manual transmission.

Now in its 40th year, the Z became an icon of global, affordable sportscar passion. The new 370Z continues Nissan’s philosophy of design, performance and technical innovation, offering authentic performance, true sportscar handling and athletic, agile design.
Nissan Australia Managing Director, Dan Thompson said, "The 240Z made its Australian debut in 1970 – a few months after the global unveiling in Tokyo in October 1969 – and it began an exciting lineage that built a dedicated fan base. The new 370Z builds on the best features of both the first and last generations Z–cars – respectful but not retro, simple yet sophisticated, and unmistakably Z."
The 370Z will launch in Australia mid-year 2009 in one, comprehensively equipped specification grade at $67,990 for the 6-speed manual and $70,990 for the 7-speed automatic transmission version – representing a major value advantage over the outgoing 350Z Track manual (which was priced at $68,990).
