Nissan Releases Pricing for 2011 370Z Range

We just got our hands on the pricing for the 2011 model year Nissan 370Z range. The base 370Z Coupe starts at US$30,610, while US$37,520 will get you in the Roadster model. The more potent Nismo 370Z is priced at US$49,990. All MSRPs exclude destination and handling fees.

Being that the latest Z was only just introduced in 2009, changes for the 2011MY are limited to new color options and added content. More specifically, the 2011 370Z Coupe and Roadster with the 332-hp 3.7-liter V6 benefit from a new Gun Metallic finish and the addition of RearView Monitor to the optional Navigation Package. Enhancements for the 350HP 2011 Nismo 370Z are limited to one new exterior color, Gun Metallic.

Senner Tuning Presents Nissan 370Z Asphalt Surfer with 365 Ponies [+ Video]

Senner Tuning, probably best known for last year's disastrously named "White Power" RS6, has released pictures and details of its latest project car: the Nissan 370Z Asphalt Surfer.

The German tuning house has modified the 370Z with an ECU tune, sports air filter and cold air intake, boosting power to 365 hp (272 kw) and torque to 400 Nm. Twin 63.5 mm (2.5 inch) sports exhaust, door mirror caps / B-pillars capped in carbon fibre and black painting front / rear splitter round out the exterior package.

Senner has also added 20-inch Barracuda alloys by Tzunamee Racing, which are available in either white or black and wear 9x20" 245/35 R20 rubber at the front and either 10x20" 275/30 R20 or 11x20" with 285/30 R20 rubber at the back.

The interior modifications are more subtle, with carbon fibre added to the instrument barnacle and additional (dash top) gauges.

While you can build up your own 370Z Asphalt Surfer, Senner Tuning said it also offers completed examples of the car.

Tamon Design to Unveil Nissan RC370Z at Tokyo Auto Salon in January

The crew over from Japanese tuning house Tamon Design sent us these teaser sketches of their newest project car, the 2010 Nissan 370Z-based RC370Z, which is set to make its debut at the forthcoming Tokyo Auto Salon. Being a teaser and all, the company did not provide us with any specific details on the RC370Z, but the drawings suggest that the modded Z will benefit from a full body kit, new alloy wheels and tires, and quite possibly, a unique paint scheme.

Billed as the world's largest auto show with more than 600 vehicles on display and some 300 participating companies of all sorts, the 2010 Tokyo Auto Salon will be held at the Makuhari Messe from January 15 to 17.

If all goes as planned, our man Phil will be covering the Japanese tuning show live, so stay tuned...
