Nissan 350Z Information - Awards

Awards and Reviews:

As the editors of Automobile Magazine point out, "a real sports car doesn't come along every day." It took five years to create the Nissan 350Z, and Automobile Magazine has summed up it all up in a single sentence: "Like every real sports car, it has a kind of purity to it, a dynamic quality that's beyond the usual empty phrases about good power and good handling."

The Nissan 350Z won first place in the Car and Driver Test between Audi TT 1.8T Quattro, Ford Mustang Mach 1 and the Honda S2000; Saying it is "The freshest car out of the box offers the most dash and panache with the fewest compromises.

Road and Track raves about the Z mentioning "The Z is back, nicely spackling the gaping void in Nissan's lineup. And it's a winner, with a 287-bhp version of its VQ V-6 driving the rear wheels, forged aluminum multilink suspension and a compact, powerfully shaped body. Best of all, it starts at a very reasonable $26,269, with the top Track Model listing at $34,079, with Brembo brakes, a limited-slip differential, xenon lights and 18-in. forged wheels with suitably serious tires. Boxster, beware."
