A lot of you would have already seen a 370z up close, for those that haven't a few pics
Not the best of weather today for the group of us tootling up to check out the new 370z. This one being Carbon Silver. It had also just come back from a test drive, not by one of the Z folk apparently.
The powerhouse of the beast, note the dual angled new shape strut bar:
The 19" shoes:
Sort of sueded effect door cards:
Pilot's seat:
The shot most drivers see of a Zed, when it's not sitting in a showroom:
Fanging along, well if it was moving, front shot:
Photos don't give much appreciation of how bulgy the headlights & tail lights are and the actual shape and contours of the 370z. The rear of the car is definitely, a "wide load".
A few interesting things I noted.
The rear screen, around the window rubber, slopes in, could see water catching, sitting in that bit.
The front black skirt, is probably twice as deep as the 350 front skirt. Needless to say that the one we viewed today the skirt was already ground down. The skirt would probably be 10cms or 3-4inches deep.
Noted the way the front of the wheel arches on the nose slope inwards, quite interesting, leaving a bit of the front of the tyre exposed.
Gone is the big storage compartment, there is an open storage area behind each seat, really no where to hide stuff away out of view. The glove box, really is a glove box, so little space.
The big silver strut is quite deceptive from pics I had seen, it's basically right behind the drivers seat now, so you'd say for instance put a suitcase in longwards, not as we do with our cars, across.
The "Start" button had most of the guys fairly intrigued.
Might take one out for a drive when the conditions aren't so atrocious and others aren't waiting for a drive too.
