What makes the z so special? For starters, instead of the traditional 50/50 weight distribution, Nissan engineers determined that a 55 front/45 rear is ideal for the Z. At the precise moment the driver accelerates out of a corner’s apex, the weight distribution shifts rearward and becomes an approximate 50/50 balance, translating into enhanced tire contact for better acceleration, quicker turns, and a handling feel that’s uniquely Nissan Z. With an enthusiast’s wish list of high-performance components, the Nissan 370Z turns braking and handling into pure performance art.
“The 2020 Nissan 370Z is a throwback, and I love it. Right out of the box, the Z is a blunt instrument that delivers driving enjoyment.” – forbes.com
Every Z® with a manual transmission enjoys an EXEDY® clutch for reduced pedal effort and enhanced precision and control. With over 65 years of excellence and advanced engineering, EXEDY® is the undisputed world leader of performance clutches.
“To get the most sports car for your buck, opt for the 370Z Sport. It only comes with a manual transmission but includes Nissan’s nifty SynchroRev Match feature, which automatically blips the throttle when downshifting for smoother and easier gear changes. Opting for Sport also adds grippier tires and brakes to improve cornering and braking.” – Edmunds.com
When it comes to the 2020 Nissan 370Z, even the technology is designed to perform. With available features including SiriusXM® Radio, Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, Bluetooth® streaming audio and more, your Z® will keep you in the loop.
“Its naturally aspirated, 3.7-liter V-6 makes 332 horsepower at 7000 rpm, at which point the VQ is making its trademark scream—like Olympic fencing with circular saws—and there’s still another 500 rpm before redline.” – automobilemag.com
Concerned about practicality because performance coupes aren’t famous for storage room? The 370Z has you covered. Golf clubs, snowboarding gear or overnight bags? You’ve got room. A wide-opening hatch gives easy access, and a hidden parcel box and available retractable cargo cover help protect your valuables.
“It offers heritage and performance, not to mention the no-frills, low-tech experience that many sports car buyers crave. Its naturally-aspirated 3.7-litre V6 engine straddles the territory between the turbocharged 4-cylinders and strong V8s offered by many competitors. Factor in its stiff suspension, dialed-in handling, front engine-rear drive layout, and available 6-speed manual transmission, and this 2-seat coupe offers a fun and engaging driving experience.” – autotrader.com
Of course, all the thrilling performance in the world would mean nothing if you couldn’t enjoy it safely. Nissan Intelligent Mobility includes advanced safety features which help protect you and your passengers by focusing on three key areas: keeping an eye on your vehicle’s systems, assisting in handling unexpected situations, and helping to keep you safe in the unfortunate event of an accident.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) pumps the brakes faster than you possibly could, helping to maintain steering control by preventing wheel lockup.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION If you have cargo in the hatch, Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) will detect the added weight and send extra force to the rear brakes, while Brake Assist applies maximum braking power to help you stop quicker.
VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL And if oversteer or understeer is detected, Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) can reduce engine power and apply brake pressure to specific wheels to help maintain your desired path.
The 2020 Nissan 370Z gives you everything you want and none of the complications or distractions that can make a car feel like it’s on a leash. Click the TEST DRIVE button below and experience what pure, unbridled performance driving is all about.
