Following a series of spy shots that gave us our first look at the upcoming Nissan 370Z, it appears as though Nissans sporty two-door has been partially revealed in a teaser video for a new Need for Speed video game. Although the video doesnt give any full on shots of the 370Z, it does reveal a few of the Zs details.
Overall, the 370Z — which is being developed under the code name C53D — appears to keep the same general shape as the current 350Z. As previously speculated, the newest Z will receive a headlight treatment similar to the design seen on the 2009 Maxima. The headlamps will reportedly use LEDs.
The rear also seems to be a bit stubbier, with a sharper crease along the trailing edge of the hatch.As the teaser reveals, the 370Zs rear taillights will have a fishhook design similar to those seen on the Maximas headlights.
The 370Z is expected to use the same VQ37VHR powerplant found in the Infiniti G37 — a V6 displacing 3.7-liter — delivering at least 330 horsepower. Recent rumors indicate a 4.5-liter V8 might also be offered. According to Japans Best Car, Nissans Chief of Production confirmed a bent eight was a distinct possibility.
Suspension duties for the new car will be handled by a double wishbone setup up front with a multi-link setup out back. Brembo brakes and 18 and 19 inch wheels will also be part of the 370Z package.
Despite a serious upgrade in hardware, the new 370Z is said to weigh less than the outgoing 350Z — giving further credence to its performance credentials.
In December of 2006, Nissan product planning VP Larry Dominique said the next-generation Z would have considerably more performance than the current model and give a visual stimulus beyond todays Z. He said it would continue to deliver on the promise of being attainable to a wide range of people.
Check back for live images and all the details after the 370Z makes its LA Auto Show debut.

if the truth that the theme of "decadence" of disturbed at the most wanted was the best song that took the game, and with respect to the new 370z I believe that if they are somewhat different, the 350Z is a little lower than the 370z The 370 is more robust, but we must see what is below the hood
