Nissan has
finally launched the fabulous 370Z sports car in India in 8 body colours
with the options of a 7-speed auto and a 6-speed manual gearbox.
It's been one of the most revered names in sports car line ups for
decades now. Over the 6 generations that the Z name has survived, Nissan has
offered enthusiasts a powerful and fun to drive, yet practical machine
the World over. Models that spanned legends like the 240Z, 300ZX and the
350Z 'Fairlady' have found their way into hearts of millions of owners
around the globe and have won numerous awards in addition to being
preferred tools of choice for a wide variety of motorsports. The latest
in that family is the 370Z - a car that has already won 9 awards since
it was launched early in 2009 - around the same time that ZigWheels
drove it in Japan (check related links for drive story).
The Nissan 370Z has finally made it to Indian shores and will be
available in a choice of 8 body colours with two gearbox options. The
front-mid mounted engine is in itself a marvel of technology packing 3.7
litres in its V6 layout. The aluminum-alloy unit puts out 332 horses at
7000rpm and is coupled to either a 7-speed auto 'box or a 6-speed
manual gearbox. While the 7-speed automatic with paddle shifters and
downshift SynchroRev sounds like the preferred option that will rake in
sales in the country, the 6-speed manual with SynchroRev is the more fun
unit.
The Nissan 370Z with the automatic gearbox will be available for a
price of Rs 54.5 lakh and the 6-speed manual slightly cheaper at Rs 53.5
lakh ex-showroom, Delhi. Nissan expects to sell around 2-4 cars per
month initially, but given the car's extremely practical pedigree, those
figures seem pretty modest indeed.
