2011 370 coupe

2011 Nissan 370Z Coupe At a Glance

More than forty years after the arrival of the original Datsun 240Z, the Z remains one of the best-selling sports cars in North America, as well as one of the best performance values. Following the total redesign of the iconic Z for the 2009 model year, the changes for the 2011 370Z are limited to the addition of RearView Monitor to the optional Navigation Package and one new exterior color, Gun Metallic.

The 370Z is offered in two models in 2011, 370Z and 370Z Touring, each available with a standard 332-horsepower 3.7-liter DOHC V6 engine with Variable Valve Event and Lift Control (VVEL) and choice of 6-speed manual transmission with an available SynchroRev Match™ synchronized Downshift Rev Matching system or a 7-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode, paddle shifters and Downshift Rev Matching. Crisp handling is provided by a refined double-wishbone front and rear multi-link suspension.

The dramatic 370Z interior utilizes an innovative driver-centric three-layer design which groups items by how a driver sees information, operates the controls and is held in place – so drivers feel completely connected and engaged whenever and wherever they drive.

Available technology features include the advanced Nissan Hard Drive Navigation System with 7-inch VGA touch-sensitive display, 9.3GB HDD
Music Box, USB connectivity and iPod connection, XM NavTraffic with Real-Time Traffic Information and XM NavWeather™ (XM subscription required, sold separately), RearView Monitor, automatic phonebook download (select phones) and Bluetooth Streaming Audio, Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System and standard Nissan Intelligent Key™.

The 2011 Nissan 370Z is also offered in 370Z Roadster and the NISMO 370Z models (full information on both available separately – see Nissannews.com).
