Nissan's 370Z Range Gets A Makeover, With The Nismo Losing Dat Wing

With a low price, a lot of power and good looks, Nissan has given us a number of reasons to love the 370Z - and now there are more. The manufacturer has revealed a raft of changes to the 370Z for the 2015 model year, with the biggest updates going to the range-topping Nismo model. This now has a redesigned front bumper with a meatier grille, new air inlets and daytime running lights. The side sills are new, while the socking great wing found on the current car has disappeared.

In its place is a much smaller unit, which works in tandem with the revised front bumper to create more downforce overall than the old aero package. The car is finished off in some rather natty 19-inch Rays alloy wheels.

Among the changes rolled out to the entire range include a fettled suspension, with the rear spring and damper rates getting a tune up to improve ride quality. New seats offer more support, while Non-Nismo’d 370Zs also get a new set of 18-inch alloy wheels coated in ‘Gun Metallic’ paint.

The stuff under the bonnet has been left alone, which means you’ll still get a 3.7-litre V6 chucking out 326bhp (339bhp in the Nismo), enough to send you from 0-62mph in 5.3 seconds (the Nismo is 0.1 seconds quicker).

The improved Zs will go on sale in Europe this September, with pricing due to be announced soon.
