2007 Nissan NISMO 350Z

March 31st, 2007

The new rear-wheel drive Nissan NISMO 350Z may be looking not as cute as the ordinary 350Z does, but it’s surely more powerful and agile than its sibling.

Featuring new aerodynamics package and sportier handling equipment, the new NISMO 350Z will be available only with a six-speed manual gearbox mated to a mighty V6 engine.

Mighty engine

The new 3.5-liter, 24-valve DOHC VQ35HR V6 produces a maximum of 306 hp reached at 6,800 rpm and 268 lb-ft of torque peaking at 4,800 rpm.

New ram air dual intake, equal length exhaust manifold and NISMO-branded tuned dual exhaust system with laser-welded rear mufflers help the engine breath easier.

Its efficiency is ensured with the help of eCVTCS technology, improved cooling and stiffer engine block structure, as well as small pitch silent cam chain.

New aerodynamics package

2007 Nissan NISMO 350Z comes dressed in new aerodynamics package also designed by NISMO.

The package includes new front and rear fascia with chin spoiler and diffuser respectively, new rear wing, side skirts as well as new aluminum hood and heated outside mirrors.

The 350Z’s body is reinforced with additional body welds and special front and rear structures. In the front radiator core support and rear cargo area there are special body dampers.

Better handling

The NISMO 350Z’s handling is refined with the help on NISMO-tuned four-wheel independent multi-link suspension with some elements made of aluminum; Brembo power-assisted vented 4-wheel disc brakes with four-piston front and two-piston rear calipers; 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Brake Assist (BA) and Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD); new traction control system, TPMS and VLSD.

The vehicle will be available in July 2007.

Its price is yet to be specified.
