2009 Nissan NISMO 370Z - Click above for image gallery


The hardcore NISMO 370Z first appeared in April at the New York Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/New-York-Auto-Show/), but Nissan didn't stick a price tag on it at that time. Those interested in the ultimate in factory Z performance now know that they will have to save up $39,130 in order to get a taste. For that near 40 grand price tag, pretty much everything is included on this late-to-the-party 2009 model. The only options available for the NISMO are back-lit sill plates, carpeted floor mats and a carpeted trunk mat, none of which do anything to make the NISMO any quicker.

All of the go-faster bits are included in price of admission, including an upgraded 3.7-liter V6 that bumps power from 332 to 350 horsepower, and torque nudges from 270 to 275 pound-feet. Like the standard Z, the NISMO gets SynchroRev matching for its close-ratio gearbox, and unique five-spoke 19-inch wheels work with the upgraded suspension and brakes to get the most out of that more powerful engine. Needless to say, the car's airflow get a substantial reworking thanks to the less-than-subtle aerodynamics package. Check out the full press release after the jump and the high-res galleries below.

[Blacksilvy]

Not bad, but a bit pricey, i wonder what kind of performance numbers it will be laying down with the additional power

[manglobe01]

the stock 370z rear end is FUGLY, now nismo is not that bad...

[OptionZero]

front bumper is still ridiculous

the lines do not work at all, why do they stop halfway and pick up elsewhere?

[ranger240]

haha this is going to serve as perfect inspiration for countless knockoff bumpers of hideous design. get used to that front end... its coming to the local an eg civic or beat s-chassis near you...

[Z33dori]

the car is screaming for canards and big GT wing.

omg ... i love it.... (well i still hate those tail lights)

[Shadowhunter]

That car looks like it wants to be a porsche,but just does not have all the asthetics together to pull it off. Looks decent either way and I'm sure the aero is functional.

[jamg]

NICE.

but i don't know...does it perform like a 40 grand car?

[Fries]

Looks fantastic.
Wheels are really interesting.
I would go spoilerless.
Srsly though, canards and GT wing+more low = GORGEOUS.

Oh yeah, 19x13 TE37's in the rear?
WHAAAT they don't make that size?
They should.

[Flipzide]

i love it. this should've been the base 370z, lol.

[Wake]

i love it. this should've been the base 370z, lol.

second that, the "fangs" on the base model are rediculous!, i would much rather drive that thing, but the zele is the best Z ive seen so far

[Tom25666]

looks 10x better than regular 370 IMHO

[JDM Sil4ty]

nice car but not nice on the price ftl ..

[S14_Kouki]

Looks good now jsut to see the wheels on a 240

[HyperTek]

nice car but not nice on the price ftl ..

good price.. keeps it out of fanboy hands and people who will put axis wheels and neons for nopi shows

[BustedS13]

looks way better than the nismo 350, but it's still fugly
i keep seeing these on the road and they're just so butt ugly.

[Devil Man]

looks just as shitty as the 350z nismo... the regular non nismo 350z and 370z look so much better then these turds and they really dont have much of any improvment over there non nismo cars.

[aNskY]

I like it, but for $40 grand i am buying something else.

[yota man]

looks just as shitty as the 350z nismo... the regular non nismo 350z and 370z look so much better then these turds and they really dont have much of any improvment over there non nismo cars.

Not much of an improvement??? You must not know much about aerodynamics and how easily they can improve ones car. Look at this burb about the Nismo 350 did vs. a track model z did...

[QUOTE][At Tsukuba, the Nismo 350Z recorded a lap time of 1:05.9, some 1.3 seconds quicker than the most aggressive model of the standard 350Z. The Nismo 350Z turns in sharper, corners quicker with less body roll, and both squats less under acceleration and dives less under braking./QUOTE]

[Devil Man]

i should have included for the price in my statement. for the difference you could buy aftermarket crap and out do the nismo car. but w/e either way i dont like the way it looks. also why is it that the gtr and other cars like 911's and what not can look good and handle well.. eh like i said i really dont care about this car.

[ryguy]

I love the rear end of the 370z even in stock form. Its aggressive.

[WILDACEX187]

well at least they got rid of the fags everybody bitched about. something about that front bumper though doesnt look right.
