After a 2007 model year revision that included the addition of a new NISMO 350Z model (Coupe only), the 2008 Nissan 350Z continues to offer sports car lovers high performance excitement and a dynamic driving experience in a high value package.
Again for 2008, the legendary Z features a standard VQ35HR V6 producing 306 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque.
The 2008 350Z is available in Coupe and Roadster body styles and in an array of models -- five for the Coupe (including the NISMO 350Z) and three for the Roadster. The NISMO 350Z, introduced late in the 2007 model year, features an aerodynamics package with an aggressive front fascia with chin spoiler, side skirts, an extended rear fascia with underbody diffuser and a rear wing. This package produces additional aerodynamic downforce for enhanced cornering and handling performance.
Additional NISMO 350Z performance features include a specially tuned independent multi-link suspension, Brembo brakes with four-piston front and two-piston rear calipers and NISMO-branded gunmetal gray RAYS super lightweight forged-alloy wheels and NISMO-branded tuned exhaust. The NISMO 350Z is available only with a 6-speed manual transmission.
