Nissan finally lifted the curtain on its new generation of Z in the Los Angeles Auto Show, running this way with all the rumors. Of course, the 370Z Coupe takes the 2009 V-6 engine from 3.7 liters of the Infiniti G37 sedan and coupe, with an increase in power to 332 horsepower at 7000 rpm and a torque of 270 lbs / ft at 5200 rpm. But more significant is the proposed new compact 370Z.

With a wheelbase of 100.4 inches (2.55 m) and a length of 167.1 inches (4.24 m), the new Z is 3.9 inches (9.91 cm) shorter between the wheels and 2.7 inch (6.87 cm) shorter in total.Much of the distance between the wheels was severed behind the B pillar, which should have given the Z a much tighter management. With 72.6 inches (1.84 m), the new Z is 1.1 inches (2.79 cm) wider than the 350Z. The lateral spacing is increased to 61.0 inches (1.55 m) in front, 62.8 (1.60 m) at the rear wheels with 18 inch (46 cm) staggered.

To this substantial reduction in the size, the 370Z does not lose much weight over the 350Z. It is lighter, due to coatings of aluminum doors and hatchback, but only 30 to 50 pounds (14 to 23 kg). Fuel consumption for the six-speed manual transmission and seven-speed automatic transmission to 18/26 mpg improvement (7.7/11.05 km / l) for both in the cycle of city / highway EPA.Headlights and boomerang in the form of a new front fascia that includes two structures in the form of canine sweep upward, the 370Z has a more aggressive appearance.The line of the tube to the tail of the 350Z has disappeared.The line of the window is bent upward along the forward edge of the door, creating openings for natural light reminiscent of the original 240Z.

The front and rear fender extremely sculpted to provide a termination shortened the distance between axles and the redesigned door handles, while the new rear-end V-shaped accentuate aerodynamic roof and back of the queue continuously.Inside, the layout remains similar to that of the previous generation (and that of the original 240Z), an instrument panel with three indicators on the central column.Nissan will offer two models, standard and tourism, where the 370Z is placed on the market in the spring.
