2008 LA Auto Show Preview: Nissan 370Z; Less = More

nissan370z_555.jpg

We're learning more details about the new Nissan 370Z. Power has been boosted to 332 horsepower, which is up a bit from that found in the Infiniti G37. The car also sports a reduced wheelbase and more use of lightweight materials, all good news when it comes to performance.

The car will be offered with a 7-speed automatic; and a 6-speed manual with a down-shift throttle "blip" feature, for those not skilled at the art of heal-and toeing.

Full story here.

Sounds good, especially the diet.

"Less = More"....sounds a lot like another Japanese car manufacturer that I know of. =)

That transmission feature sounds pretty psycho. How does that work? I can't possibly know you're downshifting until you've already moved into the gate in question, right?

Im actrually impressed to see a new car thats lighter than its predecessor.
