The 2018 Nissan 370Z Heritage Edition commemorates
the fact the Nissan Z Car turns 50 in two years. That's
an odd milestone, but don’t dwell on that too long.
At least Nissan is throwing
some fresh attention on this nearly decade-old design that carries the
tradition of that original 240Z launched in 1969. It’s much less expensive
than the company’s other sports car, the monstrously powerful GT-R. So accept
this offering while we wait for the long-promised follow-up Z car.
The Heritage Edition is a package for
the coupe with some added graphics and color around modifications Nissan has
bestowed on the 370Z for 2018. These include new lights front and rear, a
revised grille and door handle treatment and the EXEDY high-performance clutch.
Opting for the Heritage Edition pack on the base Coupe model then gets you
Chicane Yellow paint with black graphics or Magnetic Black with silver
graphics, both with a yellow and black interior scheme.
The Heritage Edition comes with the 3.7-liter V6
with 332 horsepower mated to either the standard six-speed manual or available
7-speed automatic.
The 2018 370Z and the Heritage Edition package will
be shown next week at the New York Auto Show before they go on sale later this
spring.
