2014 Nissan 370Z Coupe: At a Glance

The Nissan 370Z Coupe remains one of the most vibrant and dynamic sports cars available in North America today. It is again available in 370Z Coupe and 370Z Coupe Touring models and the 370Z NISMO for the 2014 model year.

Following last year's extensive upgrades to the 370Z Coupe and Coupe Touring models, the 2014 370Z NISMO features a number of changes designed to up the car's already strong visual impact. On the exterior, new dark gray coloring is added to the front and rear fascias, lower side sills, side mirrors and NISMO rear spoiler, with each element (except side sills) featuring NISMO-style red pinstripe accents. Interior enhancements include the addition of a new steering wheel with Alcantara appointments and red accents, and a red NISMO tachometer. For complete information on the 2014 370Z NISMO, please see NissanNews.com for full information). The 370Z Coupe and 370Z Coupe Touring are once again available with a standard 332-horsepower 3.7-liter DOHC V6 engine with Variable Valve Event and Lift Control (VVEL) and choice of 6-speed manual transmission with an available SynchroRev Match® synchronized downshift rev matching system or a 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.

The iconic Z® exterior, with its LED running lights and boomerang-style taillights, is matched with an innovative driver-centric three-layer design that groups items by how a driver sees information, operates the controls and is held in place – so drivers feel completely connected and engaged whenever and wherever they drive.

Available technology features include RearView Monitor, Nissan Hard Drive Navigation System with 7-inch VGA touch-sensitive display, USB connectivity and iPod® connection, NavTraffic with Real-Time Traffic Information and NavWeather (SiriusXM subscription required, sold separately), Bluetooth® Streaming Audio, Nissan Intelligent Key® and a Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System.
