Say Hello To The Lightly Refreshed Nissan 370Z

Amid all the rumours flying around that the next Nissan Z car being something terribly disappointing like a sporty crossover, it’s easy to forget that the venerable 370Z is still kicking around. We first saw it nearly ten years ago, but the ageing coupe is set to stick around for a little while longer, courtesy of a few tweaks to freshen up proceedings.

We’re not talking about anything major: the 2018 model year will gain new 19-inch wheels, a new “Red Metallic” colour option, plus black door handles, black trim bumper trim and smoked front and rear light clusters borrowed from the 370Z Nismo. And not much else.

The 3.7-litre engine remains unchanged, with the 3.7-litre lump still putting out 324bhp to the rear wheels. Nissan has fitted an Exedy high-performance clutch though, which the firm says “reduces driver pedal effort and delivers even greater levels of gear change precision and comfort.”

Want one? It’s on sale now, and will set you back £29,185 on the road. Or if you want something more potent, the - unchanged - Nismo version is still available.
