Successor to the 350Z The Nissan 370Z, also known as the Fairlady Z in Japan, was introduced in 2009 as the successor to the 350Z, refining its predecessor’s design and performance.
Powerful V6 Engine The 370Z is powered by a 3.7-liter VQ37VHR V6 engine, producing up to 332 horsepower in standard models and 350 horsepower in the Nismo edition.
One of the Last Naturally Aspirated Sports Cars Unlike many modern sports cars that use turbochargers, the 370Z retains a naturally aspirated V6, offering linear power delivery and an engaging driving experience.
Shorter and Lighter than the 350Z Compared to the 350Z, the 370Z has a shorter wheelbase (by 100mm) and a lighter chassis, improving handling and agility on the road and track.
SynchroRev Match – A World’s First The 6-speed manual transmission in the 370Z was the first production car in the world to feature SynchroRev Match, which automatically blips the throttle on downshifts for smoother gear changes.
Available with a 7-Speed Automatic For those preferring an automatic, the 370Z offers a 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, giving drivers an option for a more relaxed or sporty driving style.
Iconic Z Heritage Design Cues The 370Z’s styling pays tribute to earlier Z models, featuring a long hood, short rear deck, and sloping roofline, inspired by the legendary 240Z.
Nismo Version for Performance Enthusiasts The 370Z Nismo comes with enhanced aerodynamics, sport-tuned suspension, upgraded brakes, and a unique exhaust system, making it a more track-focused version.
Strong Aftermarket Support The VQ37VHR engine has become a favorite among tuners, with a huge aftermarket community offering performance upgrades, from turbo kits to suspension enhancements.
Produced for Over a Decade The Nissan 370Z was in continuous production from 2009 to 2020, making it one of the longest-running models in the Z lineup before being succeeded by the Nissan Z (Fairlady Z RZ34) in 2022.

The 370Z is the last pure analog Nissan sports car—a 3.7L V6 (332hp) with hydraulic steering, 6-speed manual, and minimal driver aids. A future classic that’s now bottoming out in depreciation.
