About the 2013 Nissan 370Z
Z34 generation, introduced for 2009 in coupe form and 2010 in roadster form; 2013 is the light refresh year for the regular 370Z models.
Nissan positioned the 370Z as a straightforward two-seat sports car built around balance, quick responses, and a strong V6 rather than extra space or luxury. Its rear-wheel-drive layout, driver-centered cockpit, short wheelbase, and low center of gravity were meant to deliver an old-school sports-car feel, while the coupe and roadster versions let shoppers choose hardtop focus or open-air fun. The pitch against rivals was simple: serious performance value with a more mechanical, less filtered personality.
The 2013 370Z remains a two-seat, rear-wheel-drive sports car with a 332-hp V6 in the base and Touring trims. Touring adds leather-appointed heated seats, Bose audio, and Bluetooth, while the coupe-only NISMO turns up the performance focus with 350 horsepower, sharper suspension tuning, stronger brakes, and functional aerodynamic bodywork.
