Blast from the 370Z Past

The “Z” sports car traces its origins back to 1969 when Datsun (now known as Nissan) introduced the 240Z to the North American market. The 240Z featured technology that was way ahead of its time and a very attractive price point compared to other sports cars of the period. Sales naturally took off like a rocket in the U.S. and the legend of the Z was born.

The second generation of the Z was released in 1979 as the 280ZX. The factory shifted its focus from the performance aspects of the car to enhancing the looks and equipment offered. This model also sold well, but some of the hard core Z loyalists expressed concern over the lack of emphasis on improved performance. This trend continued in 1984, when Nissan released the 300ZX featuring a 3.0L V6 engine under the hood. Luxury options on this model Z increased even more than the previous generation car.

For the 1990 model year, Nissan finally returned to the Z’s performance roots with the introduction of the brand new 300ZX. In addition to its incredibly attractive style, the 300ZX packed plenty of punch reaching 220 horsepower. Despite being very well received upon introduction, sales begin to dip in the ensuing years and Nissan removed the nameplate from their vehicle lineup after the 1996 model year.

The Nissan Z was reintroduced to the North American market for the 2003 model year under the “350Z” nameplate. Absence must have made the heart grow fonder, as the 350Z once again became a successful car for Nissan. In fact, Nissan even released a 35^th Anniversary edition model in 2005 to satisfy consumer demand.

Over the next decade, Nissan continued to enhance and tweak the Z car to satisfy sports car enthusiast tastes, and the current iteration of the car, known as the 370Z, remains popular to this day.
