Default Nissan Offering 35TH Anniversary Special Edition 350Z



GARDENA, Calif. (September 16, 2004) – In 1970, the original Datsun 240Z changed the sports car landscape in North America with its ingenious approach to performance, technology and design. The Z ‘s rebellious spirit continues stronger than ever in 2005 with the arrival of a special 35th Anniversary 350Z offering 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, Brembo® brakes, front chin spoiler, rear spoiler, available two-tone leather-appointed seats and a choice of three exterior colors, including a new Ultra Yellow. The 35th Anniversary 350Z will also feature a higher level of horsepower.
The 35th Anniversary 350Z makes its debut at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas early November.

Judging from the Brembo Brakes, looks like the 35th Aniv. edition will be a Track model......not surprising considering that is currently the top 350Z model.


They're just NOW getting around to bright yellow ? / That SHOULD have been one of the standard 350Z colors for ALL of its models from the very start.

It is amazing how auto marketers drag their feet sometimes on the simplest little things.

That yellow doesn't look bad on the 350Z.

But the wheels sure do. Ick.

Looks like a 5-legged spider emerging from a bucket.

I agree with mmarshall on why Nissan never considered yellow as a factory color for the 350Z in the beginning. I think it looks good and fitting (reminds me of how awesome a yellow Audi TT looks like). Now would a G35C look good in yellow? Hmmm... maybe not IMO

Thanks for posting up that pic Sexy! I have always loved the 350Z and in that color it looks even hotter.

Notice how skinny the rear tires are? It is as if Nissan is saying "Hey aftermarket wheel manufacturers - have a field day modding the 350Z!"
