Designed as a replacement of the 350Z, forming the 370Z is evolutionary. Overall, 370Z – which is developed under the code name C53D – retains the same general shape as the 350Z. As already speculated, the newest Z will receive a “Boomerang” treatment lamps, similar to designs seen on the Maxima 2009.

The rear is also less stubbier, with a sharper crease in front of the rear hatch. In the 370Z’s rear taillights are also one pole design similar to those seen on the lamps of Maxima’s.

370Z In VQ37VHR uses the same engine found in the Infiniti G37 – one displacement 3.7-liter V6 – the provision on 332 horsepower and 26 MPG on the highway. Those 332 horses will be sent to the 370Z’s rear wheels through or seven-speed automatic or six-speed manual gearbox. It should be noted, six-speed 370Z will be the first vehicle to offer synchronized downshift REV matching system with manual transmission.

As expected, 370Z will offer significant performance upgrade over the current 350Z. In the 370Z will rely on shorter-wheelbase version of the current car, but will also use lighter materials. These network changes lighter curb weight, ie all about performance – acceleration, braking and cornering – will see significant improvement.

Suspension duties for the new car will be handled with a double wishbone setup in front with multi-link rear setup. Brembo brakes and 18 and 19 inch wheels will also be part of the package 370Z.

In the 370Z should offer their customers a little more cargo space – although the Coupe is not a crush on any extension of the imagination – thanks to the relocation of the trunk mounted support of the State. [leftlanenews]
