Nissan is going to officially unveil the all-new 2009 Nissan 370Z at the LA Auto Show next week, but some of the specs been trickling out.
Thanks to the LA Auto Show website we now know that the final horsepower rating for the 3.7L V6 is 332 horsepower. The engine can either be mated to a new 7-speed automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual. The new Z also has a shorter wheelbase than the current generation and more lightweight pieces to keep the vehicle's overall weight in check.
Nissan execs have confirmed the existence of a Spec-V GT-R, a lighter and more powerful version of the already extreme Japanese supercar, and latest speculation suggests the car could make an appearance at the 12th annual Nismo Festival being held at Fuji Speedway, Japan, at the end of this month. There is also speculation that the Spec-V GT-R will be priced at ¥15,000,000 (approximately $153,000 at current exchange rates) in Japan and go on sale in February next year – that’s almost double the price of the standard GT-R.
Nissan is going to unveil the NV2500 Concept at the 2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Athough Nissan hasn't released any official specs of the concept it's supposed to preview Nissan's entry into the North American Commercial Vehicle market in 2010. The concept looks bigger than Ford's commercial vehicle, the Transit Connect.
When the concept enters production it will be built at Nissan's plant in Canton, Mississippi.
