Default Nissan unveils 2007 NISMO 350Z @ NYIAS

2007 Nissan NISMO 350Z Continues Tradition of Performance, With GT Racing Machine Style and Features





The new 2007 Nissan NISMO 350Z, which makes its North American debut at the 2007 New York International Auto Show, features an extensively developed list of unique equipment – including a special body package and improved handling equipment. This new model, the fifth in the 2007 350Z Coupe lineup, goes on sale at Nissan dealers nationwide in July 2007. NISMO is the premier supplier of high-performance aftermarket parts and accessories for Nissan vehicles worldwide.

The most striking visual feature of this special vehicle is the NISMO aerodynamics package with an aggressive front fascia with chin spoiler, side skirts, a larger rear fascia with functional air diffuser and rear wing. The NISMO 350Z also features the use of special mass dampers between the left- and right-side frame members. Additional performance enhancements include a specially tuned independent multi-link suspension, Brembo brakes, NISMO-branded tuned exhaust and NISMO-branded gunmetal gray RAYS super lightweight 5-spoke forged-alloy wheels (18x9-inch front, 19x10-inch rear) with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires.

Inside, NISMO 350Z includes unique black cloth seats with red inserts, red stitching throughout the interior and special NISMO white and gray gauge faces. All NISMO Z"s receive a serialized NISMO-etched aluminum plaque mounted on the center console.

The NISMO 350Z includes a full complement of 350Z standard features, including the new VQ35HR 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 306 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque, close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission, Traction Control System (TCS) and Viscous Limited-Slip Differential (VLSD).

The Z was my first choice, until my parents made me settle down with a luxury sedan .

I had no regrets...until I viewed this thread ...

I don't know why anyone would purchase a Z with the VQ35HR right now...

While I like the front, the rear looks a little too "rice rocket"-ish; I prefer the standard 350z rear over this. Echoing the sentiments of previous posters, too bad they didn't use the 3.7L V-6.

Overall, I'd rather wait for the next iteration of the Z.

the exhaust looks funny from that view.. clearly shows that it's just tips.. besides that, i think it looks decent.. now to see if the price is worth it..

That looks so good. But I can see what someone said about the tips of the exhaust, does look a little cheap and somewhat annoying. I like the lip that venures all the wy around the car,that's a nice modification indeed.

That's officially the worst stock body kit I've ever seen. Wow, that's bad...

I like it... but then again, I've always liked the current design of the current Z.
