For 2010 the 40th Anniversary Edition commemorating four decades of the Nissan Z in the US debuted painted in unique "40th Graphite" gray and trimmed with a special red-leather interior. In addition, the anniversary edition boasts smoke-finished 19-inch RAYS forged wheels, Nissan sport brakes with red calipers, and a viscous limited-slip differential.

The Nissan 370Z wears a tighter, more retro look than the 350Z, which is 2.7-inches longer and 0.3-inch taller and rests on a 3.9-inch longer wheelbase. The 370Z sports a cantilevered roof, "barbed" head- and tail lamps, and a 240Z-like upswept beltline.

The Nissan 370Z's cabin is driver-friendly, sporting big gauges, a race-style oval steering wheel, a convenient glove box, and sufficient cargo area. The upscale Touring trim adds leather, Bluetooth phone, Bose audio, and aluminum pedals.

With a 332-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6 engine and nifty "SynchroRev Match" six-speed manual, the 2010 Nissan 370Z coupe races from zero to 60 in just 4.7 seconds and jets the quarter-mile in 13.3 seconds at 105.7 mph. 60 to 0 braking takes just 106 feet and lateral acceleration comes in at 0.99 g. The Convertible is a bit slower, while the 350 horsepower Nismo a little quicker.

Standard safety systems for the 370Z Coupe include six airbags (dual front, side, and curtain), while the 370Z Convertible has only four airbags (dual front and side). Standard on both trims are antilock brakes with brake assist, active head restraints, a tire-pressure monitoring system, and stability and traction control.
