2018 Nissan 370z Coupe Heritage Eition: A Closer Look
Posted on July 20, 2017
In more Nissan news, the Japanese automaker has just released the details on the new 2018 Nissan 370Z coupe. Expected sometime in Q1 2018, we are just getting a glimpse of what to expect.
As the 50th anniversary of the Z car in 2019, we don’t expect too many changes across the range this year. We do expect some bigger changes for the anniversary year though. Although we have no idea of what to expect as of yet.
2018 Nissan 370Z coupe
From what we can tell, not a great deal changes for the new model year. On the outside, a new set of headlights and taillights is the most noticeable difference. There are some colour and trim changes too but they are less noticeable as the 370Z has always been available in a great array of colours.
Under the hood is a new clutch from EXEDY for the manual transmission. Both manual and automatic transmissions will remain as options.

Also on the cards is the 2018 Nissan 370Z Heritage Edition. It takes the standard coupe and adds two new colours, Chicane Yellow and Magnetic Black. Both come with matching trim elements and a few other tweaks that have yet to be revealed.
Both 370Z cars will show at the 2017 New York auto show so we will know more then.
2017 Nissan 370Z
The current 2017 Nissan 370Z is still selling remarkably well for an older design. The package is such that car enthusiasts immediately know when they are onto a good thing and keep their cars for many more years than usual.
Two seater roadsters are a niche market but the 2017 Nissan 370Z has it covered. The design, the engine, the driving dynamics all combine to make a real driver’s car with few compromises. The 3.7-litre V6 engine delivers 332 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. It is mated to either a six speed manual or seven speed automatic transmission. In true Z car style, it is rear wheel drive.
The cabin is compact but comfortable. Seats are low slung but very supportive and the design offers good visibility all round. There is plenty of room for two adult passengers but cargo space is limited. While you could go grocery shopping easily, road trips might be more of a challenge.
The 2017 Nissan 370Z is a car for those who love driving. Road holding is superb, the suspension is tuned just right and the combination of stiff chassis and able engine delivers just the kind of experience you want from a roadster.
