Despite its convincing Nismo appearance, it is a standard version according to the RDW. On closer inspection, it also has the Nismo rear bumper from facelift model year 2015 and the front bumper differs slightly from the Nismo versions anyway. Well, pretty it is and with the standard engine you will have a lot of fun too.   <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Nissan 370Z<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Nissan 370Z is the sixth generation of the Nissan Z line, which began in 1969. The 370Z entered the market in late 2008 for model year 2009. As the type name suggests, this model had a 3.7-liter V6 under the hood. The car was completely newly developed, but an evolution of the previous 350Z, with a similar silhouette, the engine behind the front axle and rear-wheel drive. The six-speed manual transmission remained, but the five-speed automatic was replaced with a more modern seven-speed. In addition to the coupe, there was another Roadster.     <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Performance Nissan 370Z<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At launch, the Nissan 370Z had an output of 243 kW (331 hp), with maximum torque of 366 Nm. With that, 100 km\/h was reached in 5.3 seconds (5.6 seconds for the automatic), with a top speed of 250 km\/h. Remarkably, the Roadster was just slightly less powerful with 241 kW (328 hp) and 363 Nm, with a 0.2 second longer standard sprint for both versions.  <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Nissan 370Z Nismo<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In 2009, an extra sporty Nismo-powered version was introduced. With that model, the engine produced 261 kW (365 hp) and 374 Nm. The transmission was always the six-speed manual transmission. Furthermore, compared to the regular 370Z, the Nismo had a slightly stiffer suspension and, of course, a sportier appearance.   <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Facelifts Nissan 370Z<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A model-year update followed for 2011, although it consisted mainly of some minor tweaks to technology and equipment. A true facelift followed (only) for model year 2013, although the addition of LED daytime running lights in the bumper was the biggest difference. Furthermore, the 370Z also received a more modern infotainment system. The 370Z Nismo underwent its own facelift in 2015, with the seven-speed automatic transmission becoming optional on the technical front.   <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Next chapter: Nissan Z<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Nissan 370Z remained in production through the 2020 model year. In Europe, that unfortunately meant the end of the Nissan Z model line. Worldwide, the Z line also came to a halt for a while, but it was thankfully resumed in 2022 with the <a href=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/405-pk-sterke-nissan-z-dit-is-de-productieversie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">all-new Nissan Z<\/a>.
