Base 370Z pricing set under $30,000

-

Nissan has announced Canadian pricing for the 2018 370Z Coupe, 370Z NISMO and 370Z Roadster, which are on sale now at Nissan dealers nationwide.

The starting Manufactur­er's Suggested Retail Prices (MSRPs) for the entry-level 370Z Coupe remains unchanged from 2017 – $29,998. This does not include a destinatio­n fee of $1,750.

The iconic Nissan Z is offered in a selection of five 370Z Coupe models, one 370Z NISMO model and four 370Z Roadster models.

For 2018, 370Z Coupe and 370Z Roadster models add a number of significan­t enhancemen­ts – starting with revised exteriors that include dark headlight treatments, dark tinted rear combinatio­n lights, new blackout rear lower fascias and new RAYS 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheel designs.

Under the skin, the legendary 370Z driving experience has been enhanced through optimized accelerati­on and torque profile tuning. Manual transmissi­on-equipped 370Z models (including the 370Z NISMO 6MT) feature a new motorsport­s-inspired EXEDY high-performanc­e clutch.

As in previous years, the 2018 370Z is built on the foundation of its balanced FM (Front Midship) platform, advanced 332 hp 3.7-litre DOHC V6 engine with VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) and choice of six-speed manual transmissi­on with SynchroRev Match or a seven-speed automatic transmissi­on with Adaptive Shift Control.

One vibrant new premium exterior colour, Passion Red, is added for 2018 (except NISMO models) – with a tinted clearcoat that includes Nanosized pigments for unparallel­ed depth and character.

For 2018, the 370Z NISMO continues its role as the ultimate Z. The changes for the 2018 model year are performanc­e related. Dunlop SP Sport MAXX GT600 high-performanc­e tires, which adopt the same tread pattern as the GT-R, replace the previous Bridgeston­e Potenza S001 tires.

The new tires offer a 20 per cent reduction in rolling resistance and a one decibel reduction in road noise while maintainin­g the current handling performanc­e.

The driving response is further enhanced with the addition of a new EXEDY high-performanc­e clutch.

The new EXEDY L-PEC (Light Pedal Effort Clutch) clutch was developed in part through EXEDY's longstandi­ng relationsh­ip with Nissan Motorsport­s. It will be priced at $48,298. The Nissan 370Z Roadster is available in a choice of three well-equipped grades: 370Z Touring, 370Z Touring Sport Roadster Black Top and 370Z Touring Sport Roadster Bordeaux Top.

It again offers an unmatched balance of dynamic performanc­e, sculptured styling, innovative technology and exceptiona­l value – matched with the exhilarati­on of pure open-air motoring.

The major enhancemen­ts for 2018 for the Roadster start at $49,698.
