REVIEW

The first generation Nissan 370Z Nismo had a reputation for being the hardest riding car on sale today, and many weren’t fans of the overt styling from the jutting front to the big rear wing. So second time around Nissan decided to tone down the exterior, but adding some red Nismo detailing and a ducktail spoiler along the way and sorting out the ride a little. It’s still a firm car, but once you really get the car flowing along a good road in the wet it can dance and slide around like the best of them. Thank the 339bhp V6 for that, married to a sweet manual gearbox that blips the throttle on downshifts for you, making you feel like a rallying hero. If only it sounded a bit fruitier… ** Cash alternative: 80% of the ex-VAT UK RRP **
