These are the first uncovered and undisguised official photos of the new Nissan 370Z, and it looks like Nissan has gone all retro on this new installment in the Z car series, probably trying to emulate the success of American car companies in producing modern versions of their musclecar classics.
On the interior, Japanese sports car lovers who typically love to adorn their car with a triplet of Defi gauges will find that Nissan has already done this for you, though they’re probably not from Defi. If you wish to add your own Defi gauges you’ll have to use A-pillar mounts as the area above the center dash is already taken.
Like its name indicates, though we are not 100% sure as no official spec sheets have been released, the new 370Z is most likely going to feature the new 3.7 litre V6 VQ37 engine, producing roughly 330 horsepower. This means even more road tax to pay for the first Malaysians who snap this one up.
Look for two more shots after the jump.

the current 350z is better
better looking i mean =)
looks shorter than the outgoing model…looks abt like z4…long bonnet.short rear….
350z nicer…
Hate the shape. Like a shoe with the back portion torn off or stepped on.
350Z look better, how come they can come out with this kind of design?
While the GT-R is Godlike design, this is like……………….. (speechless)
yes this model wheelbase is shorter than 350z..but i think it looks like a porsche..the basic shape i mean..dont u ppl feel so?
Oh… Nissan.
FIRST! I’m the first, and only who like this car, the Z370?
Shorter car, lighter weight, stiffer chassis, bigger engine, higher power-to-weight ratio, what’s not to love?
And then there’s the design. Man, those bums. Designer had Beyonce and Shakira in mind when the ZZ370 was design.
The song “Baby Got Back” by SirMixaLot is now playing in my head…
– I like big butts and I cannot lie
– You other brothers can’t deny
– That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
– And a round thing in your face
– You get sprung
– Wanna pull up front…
Looks totally different and odd, i might not addapt it so fast. But i still stick to that old Z.
First 370Z will be for datuk’s son :)
The sport rims need to be changed when you get the car :)
looks like they’re definitely going retro.. this car immediately brings up memories of the original “Z” cars of old. definitely has more of that roadster feel than the current 350 Z, which looks very short and squat.
If it drove as well as the 350z i dont care it it look a bit dodgy, at least it doesnt look offensive- we’ll get used to it
What’s wrong with Nissan’s designers? They’re just getting things worst.
love the rear light. something porsche thing going on there. and pls get rid of that orange seat. what happen to black colour?
Good God, the centre console looked like it was lifted directly from a Hyundai… WTF?!
looks like a z4 hardtop to me.
its ‘Z’ and that explains the fugly light shape. it gonna hurts the wallet if accidentally knock onto something.
gorgeous 370z. with this design, surely it has better Cd ~ .29.
meant to take on z4 pon. but before i even think of getting this car, or for that matter any other car, i’d want and need the PDRM ,herein termed the cops, to buck up and be tougher, smarter, more organized, than the street thugs and criminals. Together with the responsible citizen, make KL and Malaysia a safer place to stay.
Now this is a proper Z-car. Proper homage to the original icon.
wow!! retro..loves retro..haha..cool.. :D
Well…it sure does look retro!! I think I could accept the front fascia of the car but not very fond with the back looks. Hope to see it up close then can say more. Still, this car has better weight distribution compare to the 350Z since it has a shorter wheel base. And YES…this is definately a sports car for the Dato’s and their sons…the road tax will surely cost more than 4K ler! Heck, look at the bright side…the current 350Z will cost cheaper to buy when this new baby reach our shore (still the tax will cost you 3K something also). Oh! I loved this car’s steering wheel compare to the current one…
wow.. looks very short!
But I still think the Z32 (especially the 2+2) is the best looking Z.. ever.
Overall body profile is nice. Short & stubby , sleek yet muscular.
Excellent rival to the FIA GT4 class cars – BMW Z4 M, Porsche Cayman S , Audi TTS , Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Ford Mustang GT etc.
I think what divide opinions is on the fussy head & rear lamp styling.
Anyway, for sure, currently Nissan has got two of the finest entry/medium level sportcars available on the market today.
Wowie… Looks BETTER than I had expected… It somehow reminds me of the BMW Z4 in terms of its shape…
i hate the A-pillar
for now.
have to see the real thing.
Man that’s gorgeous… you’d think they couldn’t improve on the 350Z, now they made it even cooler! Love the way the window slopes up, real retro… and the proportions look sweet :D
I very much prefer the 2006 350Z’s looks.
I started liking it less and less after they redesigned the hood for 2007.
the interior hints infiniti
not a japanese car lover
looks like the designers were sleeping overtime.
i think its nice.
imho, i think the z series is one of the best looking car design out there. 350z 240z etc. easily identified and named.
kudos to nissan.
will the actual production unit look like this?
the interior is too simple, not much attraction from there…..
dont like the front bumper…..
overall its ok, but still prefer the 350Z…..
Still preffer the 350Z.This new 370Z looks a bit like Porche.Is it really neccessary to follow the European design?sigh…
ya agree… becoming like porche design….
i still prefer 350z
perhaps, they wanna incorporate some renault design onto it? loss some japs style liao… ha ha ha
lol.. the real is not pretty
Should have stretch the front another inch or two (at the A pillar and front wheel fender) giving it a more roadster look. Roadsters always have long bonnets.
the 350z was actually cooler
isit me or is the 370Z significantly TVR-ized
gosh… looks like a frog, which indirectly links me to Porsches…
cooler than previous 350z. gosh.. lagi sejuk.. yeah.. loves retro.
