The Japanese car company Autech helped develop the new Nismo 370Z model in the United States, with the S-Tune model as reference. The fully equipped model is a 6-speed manual transmission that comes with the SynchroRev Match function.

The car is offered in one completely equipped model (no options) with a close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission and the SynchroRev Match function, which controls the speed of the engine automatically for a smooth throttle.

This feature improves overall performance as it successfully reduces the normal shock of the clutch, giving the car a smoother performance. The SynchroRev Match can be deactivated manually, anytime.

Nismo 370Z comes with a 7,400rpm and a 276lb-ft torque. Nissan’s exclusive H-configured exhaust, tuned mufflers, and optimized ECU give the model an added boost. The bi-xenon headlights and impressive full body kit set the new Nismo 370Z model apart from the old version.

The car interior bears the Nismo logo on the tachometer, steering wheel, and seats. There is also a plaque added to the center console. The new model is available in Solid Red, Magnetic Black, Brilliant Silver, Platinum Graphite, and Pearl White.
