The Japanese manufacturer, Nissan updated its popular sports coupe, the 370Z for the year 2018. The car has gone under some minor visual lifts and also gets some mechanical tweaks.
On the outside, the company has added blackened door handles and rear diffuser. As if that was not sporty enough, the company now also offers smoked headlamps and tail lamps as standard. To add to the sporty nature of the coupe, the 370Z now gets a freshly designed set of 19-inch alloy wheels.
Inside the 2018 370Z is a seven-inch infotainment touch screen which features a SAT-NAV system, screen for the rear view camera and a DVD player. That's right! A DVD player in a two door sports car!
The only mechanical change on the updated 370Z is that the car now gets a high performance clutch by EXEDY. However the EXEDY clutch is only available in manual transmission and is said to offer precise downshift with reduced driver pedal effort.
Powering the 2018 370Z is the same 3.7-litre V6 engine churning out 323bhp – a direct carry forward from its predecessor. The power is transmitted to the rear wheel via a choice of six speed manual gearbox or a seven speed automatic gearbox.
Nissan sold the 370Z in India from 2010-2014. However, the car was discontinued for some reasons. With the updated model, we see a ray of hope that the rear wheel drive sports car may make its way to India and rival the Mustang GT Fastback, BMW Z4 and AUDI TT.
