Half a century ago, the ancestor Datsun 240Z already celebrated its debut in New York. The special edition, unveiled just ahead of the New York International Auto Show (April 19-28, 2019), pays homage to the #46 BRE (Brock Racing Enterprises) Datsun 240Z that won several national championships with John Morton at the wheel.
Memory of the Datsun 240Z
The trunk, hood, exterior mirrors and A-pillars of the anniversary model are set off from the rest of the body in color. Additional stripes on the side of the vehicle are intended to recall the BRE Datsun. In the side view, a thin line runs from the headlight to the rear window and flows into a small triangle inspired by the C-pillar of the Datsun 240Z.
Seven-speed automatic and 328 hp
A 3.7-liter six-cylinder continues to work under the hood. The engine develops 328 hp and a maximum torque of 363 Nm. Power transmission is handled by a six-speed manual gearbox, which automatically adapts the engine speed to the speed during gear changes.
Alternatively, a seven-speed automatic is available - also with rev matching, paddle shifters on the steering wheel and adaptive shift control.
Independent multi-link rear axle
The 370Z 50th Anniversary Edition drives forward with an optimized double-wishbone front suspension with lightweight forged aluminum arms, a rigid aluminum alloy mount and a hollow stabilizer bar. The independent multi-link rear suspension is also stiffer and lighter than the previous generation.
Deceleration is provided by a braking system with electronic brake force distribution and brake assist. It includes 14-inch ventilated front discs with the holding power of four-piston calipers, while 13.8-inch discs with two-piston calipers are used at the rear.
The Nissan 370Z is equipped with Bridgestone Potenza S007 on forged Rays aluminum wheels.
Prices and equipment of the models on request.
