The Nissan 370Z Heritage Edition for New York is striped

Like a lot of the special editions we saw at the Chicago auto show, Nissan slapped some graphics and a few special colors onto a base-spec Nissan 370Z for the New York auto show. With the 50th anniversary of Nissan’s vaunted Z-Car right around the corner in 2019, Nissan claims the Heritage Edition is an attempt to honor the car’s legacy.

The Heritage Edition will sport either chicane yellow or magnetic black finishes with black or silver graphics

The Heritage Edition will sport either chicane yellow or magnetic black finishes with black or silver graphics. Both finishes will feature yellow accent stitching and trim throughout the interior. The other changes for the Heritage Edition are the same heading to the rest of the 370Z trims for 2018: new headlights, a different rear fascia paint scheme and new rear combination lights.

 Still under the hood is the 3.7-liter V6 churning out 332 hp at 7,000 rpm and 270 lb-ft of torque at 5,200 rpm. Connecting the V6 and the six-speed manual transmission is an Exedy high-performance clutch, which should help grab all the power from the engine. If you don’t want to shift your own gears, the seven-speed automatic is still available. But you really want to shift your own gears.

Nissan’s 370Z is getting long in the tooth, and this special edition doesn’t help. Still, it’s good to see Nissan trying to spice up its sports cars. There’s no word on how much the package will tack on the base 370Z, but you should start seeing them in spring.
