The 370Z roadster on offers one engine choice, but two transmissions. In the manual guise, the 370Z roadster returns 9.7L/100km on the highway and 13.6L/100km in the city. With the automatic, you’ll see readings of 9.6L/100km on the highway and 13L/100km in the city.
As for the coupe, the same engine resides, and there are also two transmission choices. So, fuel economy for the manual is 9.3L/100km on the highway and 13.3L/100km in the city. Opt for the automatic (which is only available on the Touring Sport Coupe model) and you’ll see efficiency numbers of 9.2L/100km on the highway and 12.6L/100km in the city.
Powertrain: As mentioned, there’s one mill available across the board (for coupe and roadster models), and it’s a 3.7L DOHC V6. In the Touring and Touring Sport models (both roadster and coupe), that engine produces 332 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. If you spring for the NISMO version of the 370Z Coupe, that same engine is tuned to push out 350 ponies and 276 lb-ft of torque.
A 7-speed automatic is only an option on the Touring Sport model, as mentioned above. Otherwise, the only transmission available is a 6-speed close-ratio manual transmission that comes standard (except in the base Touring model) with SynchroRev Match.
Power is always sent to the rear wheels, regardless of model choice.
Changes and Improvements: Since 2012, the Nissan 370Z has seen no major changes or improvements and remains largely the same mechanically and aesthetically.
