The all-new 2009 Nissan 370Z, the first full redesign of the iconic Nissan Z® since its
reintroduction as a 2003 model, solidifies the strengths of its predecessor with an
unmatched balance of performance, style and value. Targeting segment-leading
performance and a base price of around $30,000, the new Z® provides passionate
performance at an excellent value. This new “Everyday Sports Car” is scheduled to go on
sale in North America in January 2009, followed by a new 370Z Roadster for the 2010
model year.

Nearly every piece and component of the 370Z has been rethought or redesigned
(compared to the previous 350Z) – a shorter wheelbase, greater use of lightweight body
materials, larger engine with 26 more horsepower, a new 7-speed automatic transmission, a
world’s first synchronized downshift rev matching 6-speed manual transmission, a new high
quality interior design and new available technology features.

The 370Z’s new aerodynamic body is more compact and offers a more aggressive stance.
Attention to details such as the new “boomerang” headlights and taillights increases its
dynamic presence, elevating the overall styling to much higher quality and emotional levels.
Performance has been enhanced with a more rigid body structure, better power-to-weight
ratio and a new 332-horsepower 3.7-liter DOHC V6 engine with Variable Valve Event and
Lift Control (VVEL). Crisp handling is provided by a refined 4-wheel independent
suspension, while steering and braking systems, including available Nissan Sport Brakes,
have also been upgraded.

The dramatic new interior utilizes an innovative driver-centric three-layer design which
groups items by how a driver sees information, operates the controls and is held in place –
so drivers feel completely connected and engaged whenever and wherever they drive.
Available technology features include Nissan Navigation System with XM NavTraffic® with
Real-Time Traffic Information (XM® subscription required, sold separately) and 9.3GB Music
Box Hard Drive and a Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System. The new Z® is offered in two
models: 370Z and 370Z Touring.

Hey AK370Z is that you? The 4th guy form the left?............I think I recognize you.

cstr_Cali · 11-17-2008, 07:03 PM

Weight? Honestly, who cares? There's only so much that can be done with the numerous compromises made in order to sell a (key word here) *safe* mass produced car. At least its no 5th generation Camaro.

I'm totally not surprised they need a V8 model to lug all that mass in order to live up to the performance rep.

3.7-liter DOHC 24-valve V63.7-liter DOHC 24-valve V6

V6 engine from the award-winning VQ series provides outstanding response. Large-displacement design provides more power (especially when accelerating and passing) and helps reduce engine stress by allowing the engine to work efficiently at any given speed.

Double overhead cam (DOHC), 24-valve design enhances performance and engine efficiency by providing direct actuation of intake and exhaust valves.

Output of this engine makes it one of the most powerful engines among its primary competitors.

332 hp @ 7000 rpm and 270 lb-ft of torque @ 5200 rpm

Double overhead cam (DOHC), 24-valve design enhances performance and engine efficiency by providing direct actuation of intake and exhaust valves.

Output of this engine makes it one of the most powerful engines among its primary competitors.

Aluminum-alloy components improve performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control by reducing engine weight and allowing the engine to warm up more quickly.

Use of lightweight components improves response and helps diminish vibration by reducing energy losses during operation, allowing engine speed to rise faster.
Aluminum-alloy cylinder block

Aluminum-alloy cylinder heads

Lightweight pistons

Hollow camshafts

Aluminum-alloy oil pan

Friction reduction technologyFriction reduction technology

Use of low-friction components improves engine efficiency, power, and durability by reducing friction (heat) and vibration.
Dry-film-coated pistons

Microfinished crankshaft and camshafts
Microfinishing is a separate manufacturing process that puts an ultra-smooth finish on rotating surfaces, helping enable the shafts to turn with the least possible resistance.

Diamond-like carbon coating on valve lifters
A super-smooth and super-hard coating applied to the valve lifters helps reduce wear.

Liquid-filled engine mount enhances comfort by reducing engine noise and vibration.

Fluid in one engine mount helps absorb engine vibrations before they reach the passenger compartment.
Timing-chain-driven camshafts Timing-chain-driven camshafts

Unlike timing belts, timing chains do not require scheduled maintenance inspections or replacement for the service life of the engine. Timing chains provide more precise and reliable actuation of camshafts.
Silent-type
The design of the camshaft timing chain helps reduce engine noise.

Timing-chain-driven water pump
The compact water pump is located inside the timing case, reducing engine size, improving reliability, and providing precise control of coolant circulation.

Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS)Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS
Valve timing is varied continuously to help improve power, driveability, fuel economy, and emissions.
Intake

VVEL continuously varies intake valve timing and valve lift to enhance acceleration, increase fuel efficiency, and reduce exhaust emissions. It works in conjunction with CVTCS.
4 valves per cylinder4 valves per cylinder

NDIS provides consistent and reliable high voltage to the spark plugs for improved performance and longer life with less service. Individual coils located directly over each spark plug replace the mechanical distributor, spark plug wires, and single or shared coils of conventional ignition systems.

Nissan Direct Ignition System (NDIS)

NDIS provides consistent and reliable high voltage to the spark plugs for improved performance and longer life with less service. Individual coils located directly over each spark plug replace the mechanical distributor, spark plug wires, and single or shared coils of conventional ignition systems.

Iridium-tipped spark plugs
Iridium-tipped spark plugs
Ultra-small-diameter iridium center and ground electrodes reduce voltage requirement and help extend ignition system life.

Drive-by-wire provides more precise throttle control and better fuel economy. The system opens and closes the throttle electronically instead of using a conventional cable.

The integrated system coordinates communication and helps maximize efficiency among the vehicle’s major drivetrain components. It also eliminates the need for a heavy, bulky cruise control actuator.

An organ-style pedal enhances the feel and responsiveness of the throttle, especially for low-speed maneuvers.

Electronic sequential multi-point fuel injection

The system enhances overall driveability and, especially, hot and cold starting capability by injecting precise quantities of fuel at exactly the right moment in relation to valve timing and piston position.
Symmetric twin air intakeSymmetric twin air intake

Dual throttle chambers and tuned intake runners provide more precise air intake, producing greater power and lower emissions.

The low-restriction design improves power output and enhances torque at all rpm by reducing back pressure.

The system is tuned to provide quiet cruising, but to allow a pleasing high-performance sound during hard acceleration.

Dual tailpipes

Oil is cooled by engine coolant flow to help maintain consistent engine oil temperature.
Lightweight, high-capacity batteryLightweight, high-capacity battery

Added battery capacity provides longer battery life and more electrical power for quicker starting response under heavy demands.
