Ride along with us as we drive the 2015 Nissan 370Z Nismo around Autobahn Country Club the 2015 Midwest Automotive Media Association Fall Rally.
This is the overview page for the 2015 Nissan 370Z Nismo. Rumors, news, reviews, road tests, specifications, videos, awards, and other relevant information will all be included here as they become available.
Look closer at the segment, however, and one finds a roadster sweet spot just about in the middle, in the vicinity of $33,000. At that price point there exist three roadsters in the secondhand market that have the ability to deliver everything an enthusiast could ever want. Each machine has a different personality. All share a front-engine/rear-drive configuration with a manual gearbox, and the ability to properly carve corners. At $33,000 you can probably guess the two Japanese makes on the list, but the American entry just might surprise you.
A new report from the Sydney Morning Herald reveals that Nissan is interested in creating a new lightweight sportscar in the same vein as the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S, as well as downsizing its upcoming Z cars.
Nissan unveiled its revised, 2013 370Z before tomorrow’s Chicago Auto Show press day begins. The 2013 Z is a refresh of the sixth-generation Z that debuted in 2009, meaning that the guts of the beloved Z are the same (3.7-liter V-6, with a six-speed stick or seven-speed auto). That means 332 horsepower as standard, while the hotter Nismo Z comes to market with a solid 350 horsepower.
Quite arguably the most iconic Japanese import of all time, the Nissan Z has been in the hearts and minds of enthusiasts since the first 240Z came to our shores back in 1970.
Every time I finished a driving session in our test 370Z Roadster I had the thought “this is really a fun car to drive”. With the exception of the base coupe, I’ve driven all the variants of this new generation of the Z, and the Roadster now climbs to the top rung of the ladder alongside the Nismo version.
