The company currently offers suspension upgrades and a small power boost for the 370Z through its Nismo program, but in the future it wants to give us a Nismo RS range with beefier engine upgrades, as Andy Palmer, executive vice president of Nissan and head of Global Product Planning, told Inside Line. the new goodies will be offered for the next generation of the Z sports car, which is currently in the development phase.
