New Upcoming Nissan Z car



The upcoming Z car will be known as the370Z. Nissan have announced the specifications of the new Z and that will perform better, but in my opinion, it is hideous compared to the 350Z. Changes include a shortened wheel base, a new chassis, the worlds first six speed manual with synchronized rev match downshift system which smooths downshifts, or a seven speed automatic with paddle shifters. The weight is lighter, and more power is stuffed in the engine with 332 horsepower with 270 ft/pounds of torque(the engine is shared with the Infinity G37). With a base price of $29,930 the Z will have an excellent mileage of 26mpg highway which is 1 more than the current 350Z. Only three packages will be available for the 370Z, the normal 370Z, the Touring 370Z, and the NISMO package. The touring model's interior functions of 8 BOSE speaker, heated seats, bluetooth, GPS, and other functions. The NISMO version will have a body kit with a spoiler, better brakes, and carbon fiber parts with more horsepower. The regular will have the regular speakers, audio player, radio, heat and A/C and other basic functions. I will be looking froward to see if it comes out prettier, and I am exited to see it perform better.

LA Auto Show


The LA Auto show is one of the largest car shows of this year. This year it anticipates mostly on future vehicles and concepts. Many car companies are aimed at this show as GM refuses to show the new CTS-V and LaCrosse since they are at the edge of their business and showed the Volt and two mode hybrid. The LA Auto Show contains of these main highlights. Infinity G37 convertible, Hyundai and KIA concepts, the 2010 Mustang, Honda's hydrogen cell supercar, Nissan 370Z, and much more to explore.
