The facelifted 2013 Nissan 370Z was presented today during the opening of the 2012 Chicago auto show. The 2013 370Z will be made available in Nissan dealerships from June. We're still waiting for Nissan to announce its pricing information. The new Z-car comes with several exterior design updates, and a few technical improvements. The fresh new front fascia of the Nissan 370Z 2013 now features LED daytime running lights, and a slightly modified bumper. At the rear, the facelifted 370Z features a red deflector, which replaces the previous black one. Nissan is also offering new sets of 18- and 19-inch alloys, red brake calipers, and two new exterior colors (Magma Red and Midnight Blue).
The interior changes brought by the 2013 Nissan 370Z are minimal. The only thing we managed to notice is the darker fuel gauge trim.
For 2013, the 370Z continues to be powered by Nissan's 3.7-liter DOHC V6 engine, which is good for 332 hp. The 6-speed manual transmission and the 7-speed automatic gearbox continue to be on the menu too. The Sport Package offered with the new 2013MY 370Z now includes a set of Euro-tuned shock absorbers, which should improve the coupe's handling, as well as increase its cornering speeds.
The 2013 NISMO 370Z now comes with a Bose Premium Audio Package, which includes two new speakers and two new subwoofers. The 2013 Nissan 370Z Nismo also comes with a set of 19-inch wheels finished in gun metallic, high-rigidity brake hoses and performance brake fluid. The 2013MY 370Z Nismo is a little bit more powerful than the standard version. Thanks to H-configured exhaust system, and ECM (Engine Computer Module) control, it outputs 350 hp and 276 lb-ft of torque. However, it's available with the 6-speed manual transmission (SynchroRev Match) only.
The 2013 Nissan 370Z price list will be announced later.
