Performance

Nissan 370Z will be powered by a  3.7l V-6 engine that produces 332 horsepower.  This makes it faster than other four-cylinder engine cars such as Mazda MX-5Miata and the Subaru BRZ.

The innovative VVEL technology optimizes valve open/close movements, allowing air to be sent promptly to the combustion chamber at a precise time. Not only does this promote fuel efficiency but fewer emissions also.

This engine is mated to a close-ratio with a standard  6-speed manual transmission or an optional 7-speed automatic transmission.  It can easily clock 60mph within 5.0 seconds. This is what makes it a track star.
