New Nissan 370Z GT Edition Launches in Britain

Following its European presentation in March, Nissan has announced the UK introduction of the new 2011 370Z GT Edition, which is available for order now with first deliveries expected during the first week of June. The new GT model is based on the European market 2011 370Z adding bespoke styling and equipment features to the mix.

As a reminder, Nissan updated the European market version of the 370Z for 2011 with changes to the suspension, the underbody insulation and to the optional seven-speed automatic transmission that gains a snow mode.

The GT Edition, which is priced from £35,000 (about US$56,800) in Britain, comes with special side stripes in a nod to the 1970s and the original Z model, and standard 19inch RAYS forged alloy wheels finished in a dark anthracite color. It is available in three body hues, Pearl White, Kuro (metallic) black and Black Rose, with the latter shade being exclusive to the 370Z GT Edition.

The GT Edition also benefits from added features such as the rear view parking camera, which comes as part of the Premium Connect satellite navigation system, and the fitment of a tire pressure monitoring system.

Nissan Releases Pricing for 2011 370Z Range

We just got our hands on the pricing for the 2011 model year Nissan 370Z range. The base 370Z Coupe starts at US$30,610, while US$37,520 will get you in the Roadster model. The more potent Nismo 370Z is priced at US$49,990. All MSRPs exclude destination and handling fees.

Being that the latest Z was only just introduced in 2009, changes for the 2011MY are limited to new color options and added content. More specifically, the 2011 370Z Coupe and Roadster with the 332-hp 3.7-liter V6 benefit from a new Gun Metallic finish and the addition of RearView Monitor to the optional Navigation Package. Enhancements for the 350HP 2011 Nismo 370Z are limited to one new exterior color, Gun Metallic.
