Power

The 370Z is a rear-wheel-drive racer with a naturally-aspirated, VQ 3.7-liter V-6 engine that puts out 332 horsepower and 270 foot-pounds of torque. The lightweight and aerodynamic body style mesh well with this particular engine giving it a zero to 60 time of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 155 miles per hour. 

Customers can choose between six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmissions. The manual transmission comes with Nissan’s SynchroRev Match System, which mimics the heel and toe method of downshifting, reducing shift time while maximizing the acceleration curve of the engine. The automatic transmission comes equipped with a manual shift mode and Downshift Rev Matching that mimics the SynchroRev.

Performance

Supporting the raw power and speed produced by the 370Z’s engine is a sport suspension consisting of a two-link, double wishbone, aluminum-alloy in the front and a four-link aluminum-alloy in the rear. This system keeps the 370Z tight through turns and corners. Four-way, sport-tuned shock absorbers, front and rear performance chassis dampeners, and stabilizer bars keep the ride smooth over bumps and potholes.

The 370Z comes from the factory with Yokohama Advan Sport High-Performance tires for extra grip which are mounted to 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels. The power steering is constantly being monitored and adjusted by speed-sensitive sensors and software to keep drivers from over or under turning due to their rate of speed.

Comfort

With so much focus on power and performance, it might give the impression that Nissan glossed over refinements to the interior, but nothing could be further from the truth.

This little two-seater has an eight-way adjustable captain’s chair on the driver’s side and a four-way adjustable chair for the passenger with lumbar support. Both seats are powered, heated, and made from high-quality cloth. There is ample room for legs, head, and body inside the cockpit of the 370Z, as well as knee and leg support on both sides.

The interior of the Heritage Edition is black with yellow trim which can be seen on the dash, seats, shifter, and steering wheel. The look is designed to look fast while giving a nod to the original 1970s Z car.

The infotainment system uses NissanConnect software, including a variety of entertainment apps like Pandora, SiriusXM, and iHeartRadio, as well as navigational apps, updates on system status, and security features. Drivers can even unlock the door remotely by speaking the command to either Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Bluetooth and USB synching allow phones and other devices to be linked into the infotainment system allowing even further options.

With all this power, performance, and comfort bundled into one car, it’s no wonder that the Nissan 370Z Heritage Edition is such a hit with car buyers. If you are in the market for a sporty coupe, then definitely give the 370Z Heritage Edition a spin.
