2016 NISSAN 370Z NISMO


This one really goes. Down the straightaways, through the corners, over the rises… So, how do we keep it, and you, glued to the road? The massive 14" brakes in the front and 13.8" brakes in the rear put the clamps on its bigger, wider tires. The suspension is tuned for competition, chassis dampers decrease vibration, and our revolutionary SynchroRev Match transmission gives you precise control over all that power.

It’s a little lower, a little longer, and as far as the wind is concerned, it’s a little more elusive. The added power under the hood means that it also needs a little more downforce, so the front fascia has been given a track-tested redesign, and the rear diffuser and spoiler have been reworked.


It’s the little things that set it apart. The 2016 370 NISMO gets bold red accents on the front spoiler, side sills, and rear diffuser. Also new this year are black side mirrors with red accents of their own, and a unique NISMO rear spoiler.

It requires decades of motorsport experience and years of wind tunnel tweaking to develop the aerodynamic profile and handling capabilities you’ll find on the 370Z NISMO. It’s a fine balance, but NISMO engineers met the need for serious downforce without compromising its iconic lines and low drag coefficient.


Connecting the 19" Bridgestone Potenza S001 tires to the chassis are staggered-width 19" x 9.5" front and 19" x 10.5" RAYS forged aluminum-alloy wheels with an aggressive NISMO two-tone finish.

The 370Z NISMO features special chassis dampers mounted up front on the frame rail, and in back under the cargo area. These dampers help control body vibrations for better control and precise steering, while braces on the front struts improve overall body rigidity.

The 370Z NISMO has an aggressive, competition-tuned suspension that will satisfy even the most demanding drivers. Up front and in back, we’ve added stiffer springs that decrease travel and help limit body roll.

The legendary Z has evolved over 43 years and six generations. It has been tinkered with. It has been modified, improved, enhanced. Made faster. It has all led to this: the most powerful Z engine ever. A 3.7-liter, 350 horsepower beast with 276 lb-ft of torque and a 7,400 rpm redline. At the tail end, the whole thing growls through a special NISMO-tuned H-pipe dual exhaust system.


In a 370Z NISMO, the manual transmission is, in fact, standard. This 6-speed comes equipped with Nissan's exclusive SynchroRev Match—a system that monitors the clutch, shift lever, and rpms, so when it’s time to downshift, it "blips" the throttle to give you a smooth, perfectly timed shift, every time. You can also switch the system off and perfectly time your own shifts with some classic heel-toe driving.
