The car that the rest of us know as the Nissan 370Z is now on sale in its home market, bearing the familiar Fairlady Z nameplate that it�s traditionally worn in Japan. The updated, retro-modern styling, new 247 kW (337 PS) VQ37VHR 3.7-liter V6 and choice of six-speed rev-matching manual or seven-speed automatic transmissions are the same that we saw at the car�s Los Angeles Auto Show debut.
The new, more compact body carries styling cues from classic Fairlady models and distinct �Z� badging. Lightening measures such as aluminum body panels keep the weight down, and the new interior uses higher-quality materials including a new �Forte Suede� cloth. Soft-touch materials make the cabin a friendlier place, and the new Fairlady�s interior has been optimized for performance driving as well. A factory-installed HDD-based CARWINGS navigation system is available.
On-road performance has been increased. In addition to the lightening measures, the car is more powerful, of course. The groundbreaking new transmissions are coupled to an independent suspension and aluminum-caliper opposed-piston Akebono brakes at all four corners. Nissan�s Vehicle Dynamic Control stability control is also standard.
The Fairlady Z�s home-market pricing ranges from 3,622,500 yen ($38K) to 4,462,500 ($47K) yen, including Japan�s consumption tax. Some Japan-specific �performance� specifications that you might not have heard include the Fairlady Z�s 95% recyclability rate, and a reduction of interior volatile organic compounds.
Nissan expects to sell five hundred units a month in Japan. The Fairlady Z goes on sale today at Nissan dealers across Japan, and weekend sales launch events will be held December 6-7 and 13-14.
