Need for Speed Undercover Nissan 370Z Revealed!!!

Following a series of spy shots that gave us our first look at the upcoming Nissan 370Z, it appears as though Nissans sporty two-door has been partially revealed in a teaser video for a new Need for Speed video game. Although the video doesnt give any full on shots of the 370Z, it does reveal a few of the Zs details.


Overall, the 370Z — which is being developed under the code name C53D — appears to keep the same general shape as the current 350Z. As previously speculated, the newest Z will receive a headlight treatment similar to the design seen on the 2009 Maxima. The headlamps will reportedly use LEDs.

The rear also seems to be a bit stubbier, with a sharper crease along the trailing edge of the hatch.As the teaser reveals, the 370Zs rear taillights will have a fishhook design similar to those seen on the Maximas headlights.

The 370Z is expected to use the same VQ37VHR powerplant found in the Infiniti G37 — a V6 displacing 3.7-liter — delivering at least 330 horsepower. Recent rumors indicate a 4.5-liter V8 might also be offered. According to Japans Best Car, Nissans Chief of Production confirmed a bent eight was a distinct possibility.

Suspension duties for the new car will be handled by a double wishbone setup up front with a multi-link setup out back. Brembo brakes and 18 and 19 inch wheels will also be part of the 370Z package.

Despite a serious upgrade in hardware, the new 370Z is said to weigh less than the outgoing 350Z — giving further credence to its performance credentials.

In December of 2006, Nissan product planning VP Larry Dominique said the next-generation Z would have considerably more performance than the current model and give a visual stimulus beyond todays Z. He said it would continue to deliver on the promise of being attainable to a wide range of people.

Check back for live images and all the details after the 370Z makes its LA Auto Show debut.
