2012 Latest Nissan 370Z GT Edition - Nissan has unleashed the 370Z GT, a special ‘GT Edition’ to rejoice the brand’s global success in GT racing and 40 years of Z in the UK. This special limited edition race-themed Coupé offers consumers with three special body colors options, unique side GT stripes, darkened 19inch RAYS forged alloy wheels and a number of significant suspension and equipment changes.
The 2012 Latest Nissan 370Z GT Edition recognizes its heritage with a nod to the 1970s and the birth of the original Z car: special side stripes. Grey ‘GT’ stripes running along the flanks of the car contrast with each of the special edition’s three body colors – Pearl White, Kuro (metallic) black and Black Rose, the latter shade is exclusive to GT Edition. The exterior is set off by the standard 19inch RAYS forged alloy wheels finished in a dramatic dark anthracite color.
In deference to the higher average speeds routinely enjoyed in Europe, changes to the GT chassis have been engineered by technicians from Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE) based in Cranfield, Bedfordshire. The principal modification has been to retune the dampers to provide the ideal balance between ride comfort and high-speed handling.
Equipment changes include the arrival of a rear view parking camera as part of the Premium Connect satellite navigation system and the fitment of a tyre pressure monitoring system. The advanced seven-speed automatic option now has a snow mode which, when applied, sets the car off in second gear and controls engine revs to prevent wheel spin on ice or snow. Refinement is enhanced by revisions to underbody insulation to reduce road noise.
As the name implies, the GT Edition celebrates Nissan’s presence in GT racing on the world stage. The new GT Edition 370Z is available to order from participating 370Z dealers with first deliveries expected from 1 June 2011. Prices start from £35,000. by 2012 Latest Nissan 370Z GT Edition
