Nissan 370Z unveiled

After a few leaks and private unveilings, the new Z Coupe is finally here.

At first glance, the profile of the Z car is unchanged, but a closer look reveals some very drastic changes. For example, the wheel base has been shortened, as has the total nose-to-tail length.

The Z features an all-new front end highlighted by the boomerang-shaped headlamps and GT-R-esque front air dam.

Out back, the taillights get the same boomerang treatment.

The more steeply raked roof transitions into the tail much more gracefully than the rounded roof of the 350Z.

The new Z's smaller body is both lighter and stiffer than the outgoing model, thanks to the use of aluminum and composites throughout the body and a new chassis brace underneath it.

The new Z's cockpit has been revised with cabin tech that will be recognized by those familiar with Infiniti's newest vehicles.

The most obvious change to the gauge cluster is this multifunction display with horizontal fuel and temperature gauges.

The Z's steering wheel features updated controls and paddle shifters (on automatic models).

Nissan's navigation system features 9.3GB of space for storing music, as well as XM NavTraffic and iPod integration.
