Nissan 370Z gets updated

SPORTS-CLUTCH MAKES IT AN EVEN MORE DESIREABLE PERFORMANCE CAR ʂ A choice of manual or auto transmission gets the 245kW to the rear wheels.

Nissan South Africa has revealed the stunning next generation Nissan 370Z, which builds on the iconic Z-car legacy that began in the sixties. The enhancements create a contemporary new finish to the coupe’s classic design as well as dynamic improvements including a sports-clutch from well-known performance brand EXEDY.

Upgrades include metal chrome door handles and a black rear bumper fascia. Dark-tinted headlamps and rear combination lights – previously only available on the NISMO model – are now standard.

Every MY18 car comes with distinctive new 19-inch alloy wheels and a stunning new Red Metallic exterior body colour is also available.

Nissan has partnered with respected performance brand EXEDY to integrate a new high-performance clutch into manual versions of the 370Z MY18. Perfecting the downshift reduces driver pedal effort and delivers even greater levels of gear change precision and comfort.

The Nissan’s premium infotainment system, featuring a seven-inch touch-screen, satellite navigation, DVD player and rearview camera, is standard.

The 370Z MY18 retains all the features which have helped it become a highly desirable choice for performance car enthusiasts. Power comes from a 3.7-litre 245kW V6, driving the rear wheels via a six-speed manual or a seven-speed automatic transmission. The Nissan 370Z MY18 is on sale now in South Africa starting at R661 900 for manual transmission and R680 900 for automatic transmission. The MY18 Nissan 370Z comes standard with Nissan’s three-year/90 000 km service plan and six-year/150 000km warranty.
