The Nissan 370Z is close to 10 years old. And over its lengthy lifespan, it hasn’t changed much. And with the 370Z Heritage Edition you see here, it’s the same story.
Well, sort of. You see, while this special edition pays tribute to the original 240z that arrived some 50 years ago, it also features a handful of updates that will be implemented in the 2018 range. A small handful.
The 370Z Heritage Edition can be painted in either Chicane Yellow or Magnetic Black, with a custom livery and interior trim.
The updates include new head- and taillamp designs, which are just slightly different to the ones on the outgoing model, as well as fresh chunky door handles, which gain a smoked chrome finish.
The naturally aspirated 3,7-litre V6 engine remains untouched, with outputs of 245 kW and 363 N.m of torque. This is available with a seven-speed automatic transmission with downshift rev-matching or the standard six-speed manual gearbox, which now comes fitted with an Exedy high-performance clutch.
There’s no indication yet whether these changes will come to South Africa, but with Nissan selling just one 370Z in March, it’s clear the demand just isn’t there locally. And the 370Z Heritage Edition seems to be a US-only special edition.
