Autocar UK has the latest details and a rendering of Nissan's updated 370Z sports coupe. The pic reveals an gently evolved version of the current Nissan offering. The Z's proportions, curved roofline and vertical door handles remain virtually unchanged. Other than new LED headlights, you'd be hard-pressed to tell elder and younger Zs apart. From what we can tell, a better-handling shortened wheelbase is the only major cosmetic change. The new sports car's 3.7-liter V6 will make 326hp, up from the 309hp offered by the outgoing 3.5-liter mill. Autocar speculates that the Z's new powerplant will sing a slightly more grunty tune than the G37's engine, thanks to variable valve lift and timing. Expect six-speed manual and seven-speed paddle-equipped automatic transmissions, as well as a welcome diminution of interior and road noise. Autocar suggests a diesel version, but they're going to pull the other one (it has bells on it).

I hope to god they improve the handling, because these things flop around like dead fish at the autocross.
They’ll need to lighten up for that!
Is it too late to fix those Ginsu headlights and same silly door handles?
Just say no to those headlights.
Absolutely hideous.
Bloated. They should start by brining back the 240Z
I hope they’ve got rid of the huge cartoon style door handles!
Hard pressed to tell them apart? The headlights are a dead giveaway.
Does it still have most of the gubbins from the FX CUV?
Why not bring back the Turbo?
If you want the turbo you must step up to the GTR, for $65,000 wait $70,000 I mean $80,000 or maybe $90,000.
@ Raskolnikov: Or how about a 135i?
they need to put the FX50 motor in this thing. Its already too heavy to turn, why not just say fuckit and build a GT car?
