‘The Nissan 370Z.’ That’s the best introduction.

We have attended car launches and umpteen number of media events that introduce automobiles in all kinds of ways. But the manner in which the Nissan 370Z was launched, speeding across the runway and settling down in an Aircraft hanger was the best thing we’ve ever seen.

Nissan launched its flagship model, the legendary 370Z at the Pawan Hans Flying Club at Mumbai at a very unique function. The driver during this special occasion was Narain Karthikeyan, India’s first and only F1 driver, who unveiled the 370Z from a running trailer and followed it up with a few drifts to show the media what the 370Z was really capable of.

Mr Kiminobu Tokuyama, MD and CEO Nissan India, during the occasion said that Nissan would be getting three more models from Japan for the Indian Market and also confirmed that the Micra Sedan would follow the Micra Hatch. Priced at 53.50 Lakh (Ex showroom Delhi) for the 6 speed M/T with Synchro Rev Match, and at Rs.54.50 lakh for the 7-speed Auto, the 370Z surely enjoys the price advantage over its rivals.

The Nissan 370Z will be a CBU. That necessarily doesn’t matter to the rich buyer!

Nissan is all set to launch the sporty 370Z in India on the 20th of January. The Nissan 370Z will be most expensive Nissan in India, and will retain that tag for a very long time to come.

We believe Nissan would not have numbers in their mind for the 370Z. The primary motive is brand building, and that the 370Z with its humongous engine and razor sharp looks will certainly do.

The 370Z uses a 3,696 cc V6 engine that outputs 336 PS@7000rpm and 365 N·m@5200. That’s more torque than many of the SUVs in India can manage.

Known as the Fairlady Z in the Japanese market, the 370Z filters power via a 7-speed automatic with paddle shifters or 6-speed manual transmission. Despite aluminum door panels, hood and hatch, the 370Z weighs well over 3000lbs, so forget the word fuel economy altogether.

IAB will be present at the unveiling ceremony to bring you all possible images and information of Nissan’s first sports car in India.

The Nissan 370Z’s intentions in India were traced after it appeared on the list of Nissan cars for our country in the slides projected during the launch of the new X-Trail and Teana.

Now, a company official has spoken and confirmed the 370Z’s arrival in January next year (Auto Expo?)

Hover Automotive India (marketing partner of Nissan, India), vice-chairman, G M Singh -

Nissan will launch its sports car 370Z in the Indian market and is expected to be rolled out in January 2010

The arrival of the 330hp Nissan 370Z isn’t going to send Mahindra or Tata back to their drawing boards as prices are expected to surpass even the existing products in the Nissan lineup. The company agrees the market for such an expensive sports car isn’t flourishing, but on the long run, it’ll help make an extra buck or two.
