Nissan celebrates racing tradition with special overseas 370Z GT Edition



There's no refuting that Nissan has a rich motor racing heritage, one which it continues to build in series around the globe. And to celebrate its racing prowess, the Japanese automaker is launching a special 370Z GT Edition.

The special model features retro stripes running down the rocker panel over either black or white paint options (including a unique shade of black exclusive to the GT edition), anthracite-finish 19-inch Rays forged alloys and some suspension enhancements. The chassis in particular has been recalibrated at Nissan's European technical center for high-speed driving, further facilitated by extra underbody sound insulation.

Nissan's also thrown in the Premium Connect sat-nav system and rear-view parking camera, a tire-pressure monitoring system, and a new snow mode on the optional seven-speed automatic that starts the car in second gear to minimize the potential for wheelspin. Unfortunately, there's no indication as yet of plans to offer the 370Z GT on these shores.

How about putting in a turbo/supercharger that will boost it to 400HP.......nothing special if it can't go faster than the stock 370z

I like it, great job Nissan. Would have liked to see a power bump though.

So what exactly is a chassis recalibration anyway?


Hey! We get snow here too Nissan!


Nice job Nissan. Looks more and more like Porsche marketing, sans more power.
