To celebrate its global success in GT racing and 40 years of Z in the UK, Nissan has developed a special ‘GT Edition’. This variant will offer special body colours - Pearl White, Kuro (metallic) black and Black Rose. It will have Grey ‘GT' stripes running along the flanks of the car and darkened 19inch RAYS forged alloy wheels and a number of significant suspension and equipment changes.
In deference to the higher average speed in Europe, changes to the GT chassis have been engineered by technicians from Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE) based in Cranfield, Bedfordshire. The principal modification has been to retune the dampers to provide the ideal balance between ride comfort and high-speed handling.
Equipment changes include the arrival of a rear view parking camera as part of the Premium Connect satellite navigation system and the fitment of a tyre pressure monitoring system. The advanced seven-speed automatic option now has a snow mode which, when applied, sets the car off in second gear and controls engine revs to prevent wheel spin on ice or snow. Refinement is enhanced by revisions to underbody insulation to reduce road noise.
"The 370Z is an iconic sports car and the GT Edition underlines its appeal to enthusiasts everywhere," said Pierre Loing, Vice President Product Planning, Nissan International SA.
The new GT Edition 370Z is available to order from participating 370Z dealers in Europe with first deliveries expected from 1 June 2011 and priced from £35,000
