So a bunch of articles are just coming out in the european car websites/blogs about the 2014 370z Nismo. And they are all saying their Nismo has been made specifically for Europe, different from the American one.

I know automakers have been targeting different markets with tweaks to their cars tailored to the area, it's hard for me to believe this is true for the 370z Nismo. But each site has mentioned it is different. If it is true, I am curious to know what those differences are. Spring rates, dampers, roll bar thicknesses, etc.

Oh, and they all seem to be fully loaded too, leather interior, backup cameras, etc. They didn't make mention of nav, but I'm sure its either included or an option. "It does come loaded with kit - every option on the list is standard on the Nismo Zed" - TG

If this car looks vaguely familiar, that’s because we featured a 370Z Nismo in 2009. Back then it was a US-only model – this new car has been designed specifically for Europe.

Although a version of the 370Z Nismo has existed for a few years in America, this one is specially built for us. And... it's a fraction harder, sharper and more agile than before.

It’s what’s underneath that matters, though. Nismo has added five body struts to increase the 370Z's rigidity, and suspension changes over the US model have been developed by Nismo’s Japanese engineers with input from the Nissan Technical Centre Europe.
