Dear Ultimatecarpage.com visitor,
Ahead of the official launch next month at the Los Angeles International Auto Show, Nissan today released the first pictures of the new 370Z. Clearly a development of the current generation of the Z-car, the Japanese coupe sports a new exterior styling and engine. As the name suggest it will be an enlarged version of the V6 engine. The 3.7 litre engine was already used in the Infiniti G37. In the Infiniti spec, it produces 330 bhp, but we expect the 370Z engine to produce a bit more. Nissan have released little additional information other than announcing the new Z will hit the showroom floors early in 2009.
It is quite amazing how often Caterham can announce new models. Still sharing the Lotus 7 roots, they only differ from the predecessors in detail. Most importantly they usually offer improved performance. This is also the case with the 'new' Superlight R300. The British company have shoe-horned a 175bhp 'four' in the 515 kg, guaranteeing plenty of fun on road and track.
This season the European GT4 Championship hosted one of the most unusual cars to hit the track in recent years; the KTM X-Bow. Two cars were raced and developed throughout the year. A final specification has been determined and the 'crossbow' racing car is now available direct from the Austrian manufacturer.
