NISSAN 350Z Roadster 2008-2009 Photos, engines & full specs

The model released in 2008 was one of the best performance cars on the market at the time.

The 350Z was available as a coupe or a convertible and was the less expensive version of the well known Skyline.

The trim levels available included the base model, Enthusiast, Touring, Grand Touring and Nismo. The Nismo and the base version were specific to the coupe only.

The base level came with 18-inch wheels, bi-xenon headlights, automatic climate control, full power accessories and steering wheel controls.

The Touring model added a better Bose sounds system, Bluetooth connectivity, heated seats and leather upholstery.

The Nismo was a limited-edition that compromised comfort in the favour of a stiffer suspension, a more precise steering and other aerodynamic upgrades. The Nismo was easily recognisable as the wheels had a darker finish than the ones on the other trim levels available.

A navigation system was available as a standalone option.

The 350Z came with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produced 306 hp, mated with a 6-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission.

The automatic transmission was not available for the Base and the Nismo models.

Safety wise, the 350Z featured standard antilock disc brakes and traction control. The stability control was available with the Grand Touring trim.

The 350z coupe scored 5 stars in the government crash test.
