Nissan has added a new, fifth model to the 350Z coupe line with the NISMO 350Z. Featuring a host of unique equipment—including a wild body kit and stiffer suspension—the NISMO Z goes on sale at Nissan dealers nationwide in July as a late-2007 model.
NISMO, Nissan's in-house tuning and racing support subsidiary, has made body and handling kits not just for the 350Z but also for the Altima, Sentra, Maxima, Titan, Frontier, and Xterra for several years. However, the NISMO 350Z is just the second model (the Frontier was the first) to wear the NISMO badge (which, by the way, stands for Nissan Motorsports International) in the U.S.
It’s, um, rather easy to tell the NISMO Z from the stock model, thanks to a downright shocking aero package featuring an aggressive front fascia with a racing-style chin spoiler, smoothed front corners, skinny fender lips, and side skirts. In back, it gets worse, with an obnoxious rear fascia with a functional air diffuser (how could something that big not be functional?) and, of course, a double-decker rear wing.
Performance improvements for the NISMO Z include a lowered suspension, Brembo brakes, a NISMO exhaust, and super-sexy NISMO gray five-spoke forged-alloy wheels (9.0-by-18-inch front, 10.0-by-19-inch rear) wearing Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires.
