Nissan - The Japanese Sports Car 

By: Kathy Austin

Originally launched in 1969 as the Datsun 240 Z by the Nissan Motor Co., the Nissan 350 Z is a sports car, a product of Japan. The 350 Z is the present(fifth) production of the Nissan's Z-car line, It is presently offered in a number of trim packages and comes as both a two-door coup and roadster.

The outside of the 350 Z, a two seater, has a thoroughly modern design. It looks every bit like what a sports car should. The capacity for speed is written all over the car. Seen from the sides it shows a gently curved nose with a long hood, an equally sloped but triangular cabin that stretches back right to the end of the vehicle. It has a bulging hood to fit a relative large engine for a sports car. The only problem with the exterior is that it looks remarkably similar to the older versions of the Z series and it is a bit difficult to differentiate if one is driving the latest or one of the older cars.

The external perspective of the 350 Z, a two seater, has a comprehensively contemporary design. The competence for speed is splashed all over the car. It looks every bit like what a sports car should. The lateral view shows a softly curved nose with a and smoothly rising long hood, a just as evenly inclined but triangular cabin that terminates at the end of the vehicle. The bonnet bulges to some extent to fit a relative large engine, for a sports car. The only setback with the exterior is that it looks remarkably similar to the previous editions of the Z series and it is a bit difficult to make a distinction whether one is driving the most up-to-date or one of the earlier ones.

The soft leather seats and all the areas that are tangible were perfectly finished and looked as if they were for an expensive sports car. The steering wheel seems somewhat unwieldy but it is sufficient. Being a two seater, it has no back seat but comes with ample cargo space. The vehicle, surprisingly, even has a couple of cupholders. Being a sports car, not much prominence has been given to the entertainment component of the vehicle but enough is available to make long journeys relatively pleasurable.

The 350 Z performs just as equally well on city/ highway roads as it does on a race track, making it both a fast and a practical car as well. On the race track with its elevation changes, sharp turns and short straight-aways, and the 350Z executed its maneuvers flawlessly. On the road, the automobile handles more or less perfectly and gives a comfortable carefree driving pleasure.

Safety has been given the due importance required for a sports car and the compulsory dual-stage front airbags are available in all models, but active head restraints and electronic stability control are not available on all models except as optional add-ons but would have been welcome as standard gear. Tire Pressure Monitoring System is typical equipment on all models. Electronic Stability Control System is standard on the more expensive Touring and Grand Touring models.

The Nissan 350 Z Keychains are available in just three varieties: the Teardrop, the Valet and the Steering Wheel. They are simple in design but just as racy as the cars that theu represent.x`
