2013 Nissan NISMO 370Z NISMO: At a Glance
The limited production 2013 NISMO 370Z,
developed by Nissan's Specialty Vehicles Group in conjunction with
Nissan's long-standing conversion partner Autech Japan, provides unique
performance and design attributes that true sports car enthusiasts are
looking for –straight from the factory and fully warranted. Compared to
the 370Z Coupe, the NISMO 370Z offers enhanced performance,
racing-inspired exterior and interior styling, a specially tuned
suspension and unique super-lightweight forged alloy wheels.
Enhancements for 2013 include a new premium Gun Metallic wheel color,
new red finish caliper color, high-rigidity brake hoses, and use of R35
Special II brake fluid, and an available Bose® Package with six
speakers, in-dash 6CD changer, Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System,
auto-dimming inside mirror, HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. One new
exterior color is also added, Magma Red.
The NISMO 370Z's 350-horsepower 3.7-liter DOHC V6 engine with
Variable Valve Event and Lift Control (VVEL) is matched with an
exclusive H-configured exhaust system design, muffler tuning and
optimized ECM (Engine Control Module) calibration to help 18 horsepower
more than a standard 370Z Coupe and 276 lb-ft of torque. The engine is
mated to a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission with standard
SynchroRev Match®, the world's first synchronized downshift rev matching
manual transmission – which allows rev-matched heel-toe-like
downshifting.
The NISMO 370Z also features a refined 4-wheel independent
suspension, NISMO-branded strut tower brace for enhanced body rigidity
and a pair of performance dampers to help minimize road-input vibrations
and help contribute to the NISMO 370Z's high levels of handling and
performance feel. The NISMO tuned suspension includes special springs
and stabilizer bars. Unique 5-spoke 19-inch RAYS forged aluminum-alloy
wheels are mounted with Yokohama ADVAN Sport Y-rated high performance
tires. Nissan Sport Brakes and a Viscous Limited-Slip Differential
(VLSD) are also standard on the NISMO 370Z.
The NISMO Z®'s functional and fully integrated aerodynamic body
pieces include an extended front nose with a canard design at each
corner for improved downforce and a fully integrated chin spoiler.
Special side sills and a unique rear bumper help control airflow under
the vehicle, while the functional rear spoiler also increases downforce.
The interior includes NISMO logo seats with black and red fabric and
red stitching, a NISMO tachometer, steering wheel with smooth leather
and red parallel stitching, smooth leather wrapped shift knob and
aluminum trimmed pedals. A serialized plaque of authenticity is also
matched to each NISMO Z®, identifying its unique serial and model year
designation.
