Nissan 370Z 40th Anniversary Edition announced [w/VIDEO]
10-15-2009 11:59 AM
Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Japan, Videos, Nissan Nissan 370Z 40th Anniversary Edition - Click above for high-res image gallery One week from today (October 22) marks the 40-year anniversary of Nissan's Z. Before the Zed, sports cars in North America were usually fragile little carts from Europe with their engines in funny places (or Corvettes). However, once the Datsun 240Z showed up, suddenly us Yanks had access to a fairly priced, good looking little sports car that could run for more than 30 minutes without dumping all its fluids. As the Guinness ad men might say, brilliant! And, despite a few fits and starts, the Z badge lives on today. To celebrate 40 years of the Japanese sports car, Nissan is releasing the 370Z 40th Anniversary Edition. Here's what that entails, starting with the outside: 40th Quartz paint, "high-luster" smoke 19-inch Rays wheels, red brake calipers and 40th anniversary badges on both the rear hatch and front strut tower brace. Inside you get red leather, 40th anniversary embroidered seats and floor mats, red leather stitching up the center stack (just like the rocking Nismo) and a commemorative plaque. Oh, you get a satin car cover, too. To which we say: not special enough! Come on Nissan - where's the twin turbos? Or T-Tops? Or a giant wing? What about louvers? Sans serif font? Anything? We appreciate the fact that you're (hopefully) saving your wad for the 50th Anniversary Z (which had better be atomic-powered, BTW) but red stitching and badges? Really? Where's the coke-eye'd Hasslehoff looking dude with the amazing mustache? Oh yeah, he's after the jump, along with his special lady and a very big press release!

the side pic of the 370 doesn't do it justice, the rear side window is just....not the right line. that and it looks like the gtr or resembles it anyways
350 is better imo. |

too bad Nissan would never give us something like Chevy's "Grand Sport" package . . . z06 brakes, upgraded suspension, handbuilt engine
GT-R stuff stays GT-R, i suppose |
