About the 2011 Nissan 370Z
6th-generation Z (Z34), early-generation year; third model year for the coupe and second for the roadster, before the later styling refresh.
Nissan positions the 370Z as a focused two-seat sports car built around driver involvement more than everyday practicality. The factory pitch centers on a strong naturally aspirated V6, rear-wheel drive, a tight driver-oriented cockpit, and available open-top roadster driving. Compared with larger pony cars and pricier European sports cars, the 370Z’s appeal is its compact size, quick responses, and old-school sports-car feel at a more attainable level.
The base 370Z remained the straightforward, driver-focused version, while Touring added leather seating, heated power seats, Bose audio, and Bluetooth. Regular coupe and roadster models used a 332-hp V6, while the coupe-only NISMO delivered 350 hp, sharper suspension tuning, larger brakes, and a functional aerodynamic body kit.
