2013 Nissan 370Z goes evolution, not revolution

Nissan will officially debut its 2013 370Z tomorrow at the Chicago Auto Show, and the changes fulfill the dictionary definition of "subtle." The new 19-inch wheels and Euro-tuned shocks on models with the Sport Package are the big news, but details like vertical LEDs, 18-inch wheels on the non-Sport Z, two new colors and a red reflector out back add just enough signals to make a difference to model-year-conscious buyers.

The refreshed 2013 370Z will come in coupe, convertible and NISMO trims, with the latter iteration getting more speakers for its Bose audio system. Oddly, though, that same trim does not get some of the changes for the new model year, including the Euro-tuned shocks that will debut on the Sport Package.

The 3.7-liter V6 with 332 horsepower carries over, as does the same 3.7-liter with 350 horsepower in the NISMO, and the new Z goes on sale in June

Nice updates....I really have grown to appreciate the 350/370Z and commend Nissan for continuing to build and and all the great enthusiasts who are buying it.

Great job!

 

Looks good no more catfish lol...

 

how much cooler would this car be with a turbo....sigh, I miss the mid-'90s

 

Nissan Z34 at its best

 

Not a big fan of the redesigned wheels, but the front end does look cleaner.

 

I love Z cars and love driving them...as mentioned I'm glad they still make this car even though it is not the best of it's class.

 

No love for the LED stripes. Love the overall though.

 

A truly amazing car for the money.

 

Needs moar power! I was hoping the rumors of an AMG-powered beast would come to fruition

I gotta say though, the 370z balance of handling/power/feel is amazing considering the price. It feels very nimble, has instant-on power over the entire band, and the handling/grip is amazing. It wasn't quite as fun to drive as my S2000 was, but it was close. Even though the 5.0 and SS blow it away in a straight-line, I'd still buy the Z34 over again if I had the chance. Very happy with my purchase.

I don't think I can overstate how much better of a car all-around the 370z is versus the 350z either, this is definitely what the Z33 should have been from the get-go. And having driven the 5.0 and SS, this car is definitely ahead of them in the handling/braking/grip department, no comparison really as they are different classes of cars. The only real competitor IMO is the Cayman S and the price on that car is FAR more.

 

always liked the newer style 370's

 

Beautiful cars, I still think it needs more power

Bean are you in s.fla?

 

well, name another 300+ hp two seater out there cost less than $40k. i think the Z is the only one in its class right now.

 

Always a fan of the Z but those vertical LED strips look off, the regular circular fogs/driving lights are 10 times better looking

 

Great car for the money. I had a 2006 350Z GT. I had a lot of fun in that car.
