Nissan 370Z
The Nissan 370Z was produced in a single generation from 2009 to 2020. It was the successor to the 350Z, 300ZX, and other Z-related models dating back to the 1970 240Z. In every case, the “Z-Car” was intended as a grand-touring sports car, with a six-cylinder engine and sports car performance.
The 370Z was designed to resemble the original 240Z, with a fastback coupe or roadster convertible body. In both cases, the 370Z is a two-door, two-seat car with a small cargo area in the back. The 3.7-liter V6 engine drives the rear wheels through a manual or automatic transmission.

First generation Nissan 370Z
As Nissan’s legacy sports car, the 370Z prioritized performance. While it’s a comfortable sports car, don’t go looking for the latest driver-assistance features in this model. The 3.7-liter V6 offers exciting performance, especially when combined with the standard six-speed manual transmission and available limited-slip differential for the rear axle. Also available is a seven-speed automatic transmission for those who don’t want to shift their own gears.
For buyers who want a bit more comfort, the available Touring trim adds heated and ventilated leather seats, a Bose® premium audio system, and more modern infotainment tech.
A Nismo sport edition was available from the beginning of production. This model offers a bit more engine power and performance-enhancing features such as sport-tuned suspension an
