Nissan’s modern-day 350Z coupe went on sale as a 2003 model. Like the original, the 350Z has rear-wheel drive and a six-cylinder engine. For 2007, it gets a new 306-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6.

Nismo—an abbreviation of NISsan MOtorsports—and now its performance part division, announced it would offer a tuned take on the venerable 350Z in North America.
