Newly Launched Nissan 350Z 
      
Nissan 350Z Exudes Passion, Performance and Practicality. The all-new Nissan 350Z sports car was unveiled in the east recently. The stylish, 280PS-horsepower 350Z continues the Z heritage of design, performance and value that has remained unchallenged since the original Datsun 240Z was introduced 33 years ago as a 1969 model in Japan. 

The new 350Z represents nothing less than the birth of a totally new car that blends Nissan’s sports car tradition with cutting-edge technologies and a fresh design. This new- generation Z promises to provide all users with immense joy of ownership and complete driving pleasure. While inheriting the "Z-ness” passed on through successive generations, this 350Z embodies many new features for a sports car, all of which have been perfected to exceptionally high quality.
