Powertrains and
Performance
The 2013
Nissan 370Z base and Touring models come standard with a 3.7-liter V6 that
produces 332 hp and 270 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual transmission
is standard. Optional transmissions include a seven-speed automatic with shift
paddles on the steering wheel and the SynchroRev Match manual transmission
(included with the Sport package). The latter automatically blips the throttle
during downshifts to deliver smoother, quicker shifts with better dynamic
control of the chassis, which not only maximizes performance but also makes you
sound like a certified pro driver.
The 370Z Nismo
model has a specially tuned version of the same V6 engine that produces 350 hp
and 276 lb-ft. of torque. The six-speed manual with SynchroRev Match is the
only transmission offered.
Safety
Every 2013
Nissan 370Z comes standard with:
-
Antilock brakes
-
Traction and stability control
-
Side airbags
The coupe gets
side curtain airbags, while the Roadster's side airbags extend upward for head
protection.
