New VQ37HR Engine & Variable Valve Event and Lift (VVEL) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wild at heart, yet eager to please, the 370Z's spirited 3.7-liter VQ V6 engine delivers an amazing 333 PS of road-punding power at maximum output, while Nissan's original VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) system helps you stay in control by ensuring a matching response to even subtle variations in presure on the accelerator.
Rated at 333 PS at 7000 rpm with peak torque of 363 Nm at 5200 rpm, this large-displacement 3.7-liter engine boasts a longer and flatter torque curve, delivering smooth acceleration and outstanding throttle response.
By improving the efficiency of airflow through the cylinder, this unique system significantly improves responsiveness, optimising the balance between power and environmental performance to deliver high output with lower fuel consumption and cleaner emissions.

High Torque |
|
|
|
|
|
|
High torque is delivered by your choice of manual or automatic transmission. The short stroke of the 6-speed manual stick enables
rapid shifting while providing firm feedback. A sixth-gear is provided for high-speed cruising, and close ratios for the 1st
through 7-speed automatic transmission with manual mode is fine-tuned to boost torque in the low-to mid-rpm range.

6-speed manual transmission (6MT) with SynchroRev Match mode
The world's first manual transmission to feature a SynchroRev Match mode, this transmission simplifies gear shifting at the touch of a button. Smooth acceleration or deceleration is achieved by 'blipping' the throttle to the optimum engine rpm as you release the clutch. The short stroke shift lever helps keep wrist movement to a minimum, assuring quick, efficient shifting. Now anybody can experience the thrill that comes from successfully handling a sports car.
7-speed automatic transmission (7AT) with manual mode.
With 7 speeds and a manual mode, the 370Z's automatic transmission provides smooth, seamless shifting, comfortable, fuel-efficient high-speed cruising and heart-pounding acceleration whenever you want it. In manual mode, you get manual-style control with exceptionally quick shifts with a nudge of the shift lever or a pull of the paddle shifters - ideal when you want to downshift to pass traffic or for more effective braking. |
