If you search the internet for reviews on the Nissan 350Z, you will find that most who own or have driven this car have found it quite the satisfactory vehicle.
What attracts buyers to it the most is the ‘attention getting’ exterior of this car that reminds one of how twenty years ago the movies perceived futuristic cars to look similar to the Nissan 350Z. But this very sleek design doesn’t only look fast; it provides you with a sneak peak of how fast this car really is.
To give you an idea of how fast the Nissan 350Z is, it is sporting a 360 horsepower V6 engine with 121.56 kg of torque per km and 7500 RPMs.
The aerodynamic design makes it possible for the car to sail along the road without much resistance from the air passing over and around the car.
The Nissan 350Z also has 4-link rear suspension and 3-link front suspension that contains lightweight components that retain the precision of the wheel control and steering, as well as ripple-control shocks that makes the driver feel like a part of the road.
As you can already see, the Nissan 350Z has been engineered differently than many cars. The wheels have been brought as close to all four corners as possible, the fuel tank has been moved forward, the engine has been moved back to create a centre of gravity, and you, the driver is sitting in the centre of the car.
This particular platform is quite unique amongst other cars because it is so incredibly stable and the Nissan 350Z is constructed of lightweight materials that retain the balance of the car. These components also contribute to the safety aspects of the Nissan 350Z.
So when it comes to safety, one of the best safety features of the Nissan 350Z is the TCS electronic traction control, which tones down the engine’s power when it senses that the car is getting ready to spin or slip.
The Nissan 350Z also incorporates a Viscous Limited-Slip Differential that knows to distribute the power to the back wheel that has a better grip on the road. But what is really neat is the cockpit design, which is influenced by the same design used in racecars and surrounds the driver the way the contents of the car should.
The Nissan 350Z also protects its occupants the way it should by possessing a 5-star side-impact crash safety rating. In addition, you will also find an exceptional airbag system and head restraints to reduce the risk of fatality in a crash.
After reading all of this, isn’t it great to know that such a nice looking car can be fast, sleek, and safe all at the same time? Of course it is. The Nissan 350Z allows you to have all of the best aspects of a sports car without the sacrifice of safety as sports cars were once known for.
The unprecedented engineering and unique ideas that have gone into the Nissan 350Z has created a user-friendly car that drivers not only find fun to drive, but they find it necessary to drive.
