The Nissan 370Z sports car, one of the most wanted cars to date, will be launching in India in 2010. This move, announced by Hover Automotive India Vice Chairman G M Singh, aims to bring more variants to the Indian market despite a limited demand for now. But showing much optimism on the car demand market trend, he expects the demand to increase after some time.

The target date is January 2010 where the Nissan 370Z Sports Car is expected to be priced around Rs 35-38 lakh. At the same time, another car was likewise unveiled in the Micra hatchback which will become available in petrol and diesel. The price range for the Micra is expected to play around Rs 5 lakh.

Nissan is aiming to introduce nine new variants in India by 2012.

I don’t know about you guys but Top Gear has long been one of my favorite automotive television shows currently airing. In their latest stunt, Jeremy Clarkson, the show’s host, decided to race a BMW Z4 against a 370Z.

In the end the 370Z beats the Z4 which shouldn’t come as as surprise considering the 370Z has about 25 more horsepower than the Z4.

In the end, Clarckson says the Z4 would be a better buy because it’s “slower, less exciting, more expensive and less well equipped.” For those of you scratching your head, it’s called sarcasm, my friends.

The much awaited release in the market of the Nissan 370Z has finally been revealed as Nissan SA announced that these vehicles will start selling on June 10. With a load of features that this car carries, the most striking mark would perhaps be its arrow-shaped headlamps that project a menacing look. The car will be available in automatic and manual models.

In terms of pricing, the manual model will sell for R499 000 and the automatic will wear a R516 200 price sticker. This compares favorably with the R490 000 sticker price of the outgoing 350Z, given the fact that the additional R9000 you pay for the manual 370Z gives you an additional 15 kW and 7 N.m of torque, while the automatic’s R26 200 premium gives you a car that balances an evolved sense of the 350Z’s sportiness with the convenience of a slick automatic transmission.

While the announcement seems vague, expect more details on the release of the Nissan 370Z to come out soon.

Nissan is scheduled to unveil a couple of new sports car models at the New York Auto Show. The two new sports cars are the 370Z Roadster and the Nismo 370Z, joining the Nissan 370Z Coupe.

The all-new 370Z Roadster goes on sale in late summer as a 2010 model and features a new power-folding convertible top with single-action operation and automatic roof latch. It also offers more refinement than any Z convertible that has come before, including standard Nissan Intelligent Key, as well as available heating and cooling ventilated net seats, Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System, satellite radio and an advanced Nissan Navigation System with 9.3GB Music Box Hard Drive.

The performance-inspired 2009 NISMO 370Z features dramatic aerodynamic styling, a 350-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 engine and a specially tuned suspension. It also offers unique interior treatments and special NISMO-branded 19-inch super lightweight forged alloy wheels. It is scheduled to go on sale at Nissan retailers nationwide beginning in June.

“The addition of these two exciting new Zs to the dynamic new 370Z Coupe gives us three times the firepower as any competitive affordable sports car on the market today,” said Brian Carolin, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, NNA. “Now, if you prefer your 370Z action with a wide-open top or with wide-open extreme styling and performance, we have the perfect Z for you.”
