Nissan 370Z Nurburgring Edition: Limited Production Model Launched in Europe

When you hear a name like 'Nurburgring Edition', you expect something special, right? Well, judging from Nissan's press release, this doesn't seem to be the case with the new 370Z Nurburgring Edition that has been launched in Germany. Supposedly inspired from the bright-yellow 370Zs that participated at the 24-hour endurance race at the Nurburgring in May, the limited edition model will be produced in a limited run of 80 copies. Unique features are limited to a 'Premium Ultimate Yellow' paint finish, special decals, a more sonorous Cobra exhaust system, a numbered plaque and 19-inch OZ alloy wheels shod in Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT tires (255/40 R19 at the front, 285/35 R19 at the back).

There are no mechanical upgrades with the special edition 370Z retaining the standard model's 331HP 3.7-liter V6 engine. Prices in Germany have been set at €50,400 (that's about $71,700 at today's exchange rates). Buyers of the special edition 370Z also get a €150 gift card (approx. $215 US) for use at the Nurburgring race track either to perform a few laps on the Nordschleife or to buy memorabilia items.

Nissan's German division has yet to release any photos of the 370Z Nurburgring Edition - the pictures are from the standard model.

The roof of the Nissan 370Z Roadster has been designed according to Nissan, to meet three objectives: the Nissan 370Z Roadster is recognizable as a Nissan 'Z' by its silhouette, and is convertible tops or the operation of opening and closing the roof is rapid and piece of cake.

Senner Tuning Presents Nissan 370Z Asphalt Surfer with 365 Ponies [+ Video]


Senner Tuning, probably best known for last year's disastrously named "White Power" RS6, has released pictures and details of its latest project car: the Nissan 370Z Asphalt Surfer.

The German tuning house has modified the 370Z with an ECU tune, sports air filter and cold air intake, boosting power to 365 hp (272 kw) and torque to 400 Nm. Twin 63.5 mm (2.5 inch) sports exhaust, door mirror caps / B-pillars capped in carbon fibre and black painting front / rear splitter round out the exterior package.

Senner has also added 20-inch Barracuda alloys by Tzunamee Racing, which are available in either white or black and wear 9x20" 245/35 R20 rubber at the front and either 10x20" 275/30 R20 or 11x20" with 285/30 R20 rubber at the back.

The interior modifications are more subtle, with carbon fibre added to the instrument barnacle and additional (dash top) gauges.

While you can build up your own 370Z Asphalt Surfer, Senner Tuning said it also offers completed examples of the car.
