Nissan was a last minute addition to the 2010 Chicago Auto Show, but that didn’t mean the Japanese automaker came to the annual show empty handed. Following a JDM reveal late last year, Nissan used the Chicago show to display the 40th Anniversary Edition of its 370Z.
Although strictly a cosmetic package, the 40th Anniversary Edition of the 370Z celebrates 40 years of the iconic Z car. The first Datsun 240Z hit U.S. shores on October 22nd, 1969.
Based on the Nissan 370Z Coupe Touring, the 40th Anniversary Edition adds a unique Graphite paint job, Nissan’s Sport Package – which includes a manual transmission with SynchroRev Match, front spoiler, rear spoiler, upgraded brakes and 19-inch wheels – and a red leather-appointed interior.
The package also includes plenty of 40th Anniversary badging, including on the rear deck, strut tower brace, seat backs and floor mats.
Power for the 370Z 40th Anniversary Edition is provided by Nissan’s standard-issue 332 horsepower 3.7L V6.
Deliveries of the Nissan 370Z 40th Anniversary Edition will begin later this year with a starting price of $38,860.
