Nissan Z
The return of the Nissan Z last year was excellent news for fans of sporty coupes. With sleek lines and a few design elements inspired from past Z cars, the latest generation rides on a modified version of the old 370Z platform. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 under the hood cranks out 400 horsepower through a six-speed manual gearbox or a nine-speed automatic transmission. Only the latter can be specified with the 420-horsepower Z NISMO.
