Good news for Nissan car fans: the Japanese automaker just unveiled the 2015 Nissan 370Z NISMO. Staying true to the original design penned by Filipino Randy Rodriguez,the 2015 NISMO model now beefs up the beast with an aggressive new look, an available 7-speed automatic transmission option, and a new 370Z NISMO Tech package.
According to Nissan, the 2015 370Z NISMO is available to be sold in July 2014. Tag price has not been revealed yet, but the company says it will be made public closer to that period.
The most dramatic visual changes to the 2015 Nissan 370Z NISMO are found at the front end, where a wider, reshaped grille opening, red splitter lip, and, at either side, vertical cooling inlets are added below LED Hyper daytime running lights. The red accent is also found on the re-shaped side sills, the side mirrors, and across the bottom of the rear bumper area. The rear spoiler has also been restyled and made smaller.
Standard equipment includes black and red Recaro seats with leather and Alcantara covering, 19-inch NISMO alloy wheels by RAYS wearing a charcoal gray machine finish, large Nissan Sport Brakes, a viscous limited-slip differential, and, of course, Nissan’s 350-horsepower, 276-pound-foot version of the 3.7-liter VQ37VHR V-6 engine. The 2015 model’s suspension has also been slightly re-tuned.
A six-speed manual transmission with SynchroRev Match is standard, but a seven-speed automatic can also be had with the 2015 model, expanding the reach of the NISMO Z beyond the previous manual-only versions.
The new Tech package adds a welcome touch of up-level equipment, including a hard-drive-based navigation system with 7-inch touchscreen, rear-view camera, Bose audio, streaming Bluetooth audio, and more.
Only four exterior colors are offered: Solid Red, Magnetic Black, Brilliant Silver, and Pearl White.
