Nissan has unveiled a 50th anniversary edition 370Z sports coupe at the New York motor show.
The edition is in celebration of the first ‘Z’ car, the Datsun 240Z (known in Japan as the Nissan Fairlady Z) which was first released in 1969 as a halo car in Nissan’s range.
The limited edition 370Z which is set to arrive in the second half of 2019 in Australia has a heavy US-market tilt as it wears a homage livery to the Brock Racing Enterprises (BRE) 240Z which helped solidify the Z car’s image in the US.
For the US market, the 50th Anniversary Edition will be available across all four trim levels, although confirmation on whether it will be available on both of Australia’s base and Nismo trims is yet to be confirmed.
Aside from the livery, the 50th Anniversary Edition will include identifying badges, bi-xenon headlights, LED DRLs, bespoke 19-inch lightweight alloy wheels forged by RAYS, leather seat trim with with 50th Anniversary logos and red highlights, dark chrome kick plates as well as synthetic suede door inserts and steering wheel.
There are no power tweaks for the 3.7-litre V6 which continues to produce 250kW/366Nm, or the transmission which continues to be available as either an auto-rev matching six-speed manual or auto rev-matching seven-speed auto. The 50th Anniversary Edition will come with Bridgestone Potenza S007 tyres as standard.
