The
Nissan 350Z which was first introduced in 2002 is the current
successor to the popular 'Z' range of Nissan sports cars originally
introduced in 1969.
After the passing of the Nissan 300ZX in 1996 Nissan was left
without a sports coupe in its lineup. However when the 350Z
was introduced its styling emulated the original car, not the
later 300ZX model.
The layout of the 350Z follows in the footsteps of the previous
cars, front-engined, rear-wheel-drive and like the original
the 350Z has impeccable handling characteristics and strong
power train.
In Japan the Nissan 350Z is sold under the name of the 'Fairlady
Z'. In 2004 Nissan introduced the convertible version, the 350Z
Roadster.
For the 2007 model year, the 350Z was moderately revised. The
VQ35DE V6 was replaced with a new 3.5 L VQ35HR V6. It produces
306 hp at 6800 rpm with 268 lb-ft at 4800 rpm. The front bumper,
hood, and headlamps were also revised with the hood featuring
a bulge reminiscent of the original 240Z.
