The road proves sharp - a serpentine twist that defies your sedan, leaving the tires spinning and the transmission stalled. You clench the wheel, trying to compensate for the sudden loss of torque; and the smell of burning rubber floods the car.
Nissan thinks you deserve a smoother highway experience - and that’s why it’s paired the new 370z with sterling maneuverability.
As the Bend Bulletin explains, Nissan embraces fluid driving dynamics with its 2018 370z. Anchored by a seven-speed automatic transmission - which pairs an efficient carbon fiber column with rev matching technology - this coupe can fly down the road. Its longitudinally mid-mounted RWD promotes balance, with the axles poised strategically to evenly distribute weight; while integrated paddle shifters provide quick gear changes, taking advantage of the low-range ratios. A three-point tower strut brace optimizes the double-wishbone suspension (lessening chassis friction and creating a more flexible ride); and the inclusion of sport-tuned shock absorbers yields smooth handling with every mile.
These elements allow the 2018 370z to gracefully conquer every curve - earning a 0 to 60 run of 5.2 seconds. Power is deftly distributed between the 3.7L V6 engine and the electronic drive-by-throttle to ensure maximum traction with each press of the pedal.
