2010 Nissan 370Z



Many of the noteworthy improvements found on the 2010 Nissan 370Z are suspension enhancements designed to keep this quick car firmly planted on the track. The new models features a new front strut tower brace, performance dampers, more efficient front springs and more rigid rear coils. These suspension upgrades result in a 40% increase in damping factor on the front of the car and an impressive 140% increase in the rear. 

At firt glance the engine is identical to the normal 370Z, but once you factor in a brand new Nismo exhaust system and a high-performance engine control module, you’ll understand where the incredible power boost comes from. 350hp at 7400 rmp means this car is one quick little sucker. The 2010 370z is only available in six-speed manual transmission alongside the infamous rev matching system.

No word on the original equipment tires yet, though the 2009 model did feature staggered fitting Yokohama ADVAN Sport high-performance tires P245/40ZR19 in the front and P285/35ZR19s in the rear. These Y-rated wholesale Yokohama tires were built for speed and a great match for the vehicle last year, so it will be interesting to see what improvements, if any, have been made for the new model.

Consumers can expect the 2010 Nissan 370Z to show up in dealerships sometime in June 2009.
