The Nissan 370Z is one of
the oldest sports cars on the market. Still, the automaker believes that it's
not time to replace it just yet, so they have slightly updated it for the
2018MY.
The fixed-roof model now benefits from
standard tinted lights, front and rear, a combo that was previously available
on the Nismo, in addition to black door handles, black rear bumper fascia, and
new 19-inch alloy wheels. Rounding up the list of exterior changes is the
introduction of a new Red Metallic paint.
Despite retaining the 3.7-liter V6 engine that
delivers 328 PS to the rear wheels, through a six-speed manual or a
7-speed automatic transmission, the 2018 Nissan 370Z Coupe has now welcomed a
new high-performance clutch. Developed by Exedy, it's only available on the
stick shift version, and is said to "perfect the downshift" by
"reducing driver pedal effort" and "delivering greater levels of
gear change precision and comfort".
One last novelty for the 2018MY is the NissanConnect
Premium infotainment system, with its 7-inch touchscreen display, satellite
navigation, DVD player, and reversing camera, which can be had as an optional
extra. Nissan says that the 370Z Roadster and 370Z Nismo remain on sale without
the 2018MY upgrades.
