2016 Nissan 370Z NISMO - Review & Test Drive

The 2016 Nissan 370Z NISMO takes the 370 up a notch in terms of power and performance. It features a 350 HP V6 engine, improved aerodynamics for increased downforce, and NISMO-tuned suspension, front strut tower, exhaust, and stabilizer bars. Under the hood, there’s a 3.7L V6 engine. It features an aluminum block and heads, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder with variable valve timing and lift, and a compression ratio of 11:1. The engine produces 350 HP @ 7,400 RPM (with a redline of 7,500 RPM) and 276 lb-ft of torque at 5,200 RPM. This is 18 more horsepower and 6 more lb-ft than the standard 370z, thanks to an exclusive exhaust design and optimized ECM tune.
