With the unveiling of the all-new Nissan 370Z, it was only a matter of time before the Nismo-tuned version made its way to showrooms. Finally consumers can get their hands on the Nismo 370Z and Nissan has priced this Z from $39,130. Nismo accessories are of course also available to compliment the Z’s already stunning look and spirited performance.
One of the great features of the latest Nissan Z-car is the new six speed transmission with SynchroRev Match, which is already a hit with Z-car enthusiasts at the leading Nissan 370Z Boston dealer. This system adjusts the throttle and engine speed to provide smoother shifting. Ultimately the system delivers greater balance on the chassis and removes the jolt of the clutch when it’s activated.
Although the base Nissan 370Z is a solid performer, the Nismo Z gets plenty of modifications to improve upon the Z’s stellar moves. According to Boston Infiniti G Coupe dealer, this includes tweaks to the chassis, stiffer strut tower bar brace, improved four-link suspension, and stiffer spring rates. Aside from these updates, the Nismo Z also receives larger brakes. The exterior also gets an update, including a full body kit and bi-xenon lights.
Interior updates are less noticeable than exterior and performance mods as Manchester CT Used Nissan points out, but you can expect plenty of Nismo logos inside. With a price under $40K, the latest Nismo Nissan 370Z model certainly delivers value for true performance enthusiasts.
