Far more interesting than the base model, NISMO comes with slight exterior changes that include RAYS aluminum-alloy wheels, improved aerodynamics, 19-inch NISMO super-lightweight forged aluminum alloys and neat charcoal gray machine finish.

In terms of drivetrain system, the DOHC V6 power unit provides more than enough of horsepower, but also some additional improvements. For example, the 370Z NISMO benefits from better acceleration, compared t the 370Z Coupe and optimized ECM calibration. And again buyers can specify the machine with either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic gearbox with paddle shifters.
