The Nissan 370Z is a discontinued two-seat sports coupe that carried Nissan's Z-car tradition through the 2010s. It used a naturally aspirated V6, rear-wheel drive and a compact body, giving it an old-school driving character that stood apart as turbocharged rivals became more common. In Australia it appealed to enthusiasts wanting strong performance, manual availability and classic sports-car proportions at a relatively attainable price. The 370Z was not the most modern car late in its life, but its mechanical simplicity and muscular engine were central to its charm. It has since been replaced by the newer Nissan Z, which continues the same performance lineage.
