Rob_Quads Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Taken from autoblog.... American fans of Nissan's fantastic new 370Z can order their cars in Chicane Yellow, but up until now, their counterparts in Blighty have been out of luck if they've wanted a sunburst Z of their own. Until now. That's because Nissan UK has cooked up a special new limited-edition (if unimaginatively named) 370Z Yellow. Apparently inspired by the Japanese automaker's European GT4 series racers, all Yellows will receive 19-inch forged RAYS alloys, a black leather and suede interior, along with illuminated door sill plates, special floor mats, and so on. Did we mention the bespoke lower body graphics? They remind us of less subtle, billboard-sized versions of the graphics packages on certain Porsche 911s. Nissan assures that there will be a "strictly limited volume" of Yellows for sale in the UK, with "exclusivity guaranteed." But tellingly, perhaps, the company isn't divulging just how many it plans to produce in the model's press release (available after the jump). If you're interested, prepare to shell out £31,650 (nearly $52,000 USD) for a six-speed manual or £33,050 for the automatic (just over $54,000 USD – as usual, bear in mind the UK's comparatively inflated pricing structure for new cars).

giZmo71 Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Well that's a huge disappointment. Better colour than any of the normal ones but I don't like the graphics (blantant 911 GT3-RS rip off!), and why aren't we getting the NISMO one, that's what I want to know! Quote
BulletMagnet Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I'm waiting for someone to put them side stickers on a 350Z, lol Quote
Ebized Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 THEY CAN'T BE SERIOUS Next they will offering windscreen sun screens with the new owner and their partners names on Quote
R35LEE Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 They missed INJECTION off the sticker after the 370! God thats wrong Quote
Jotun Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 That's surely a Photoshop and bs? I'm tired so that picture confuses me with its crappiness. Lhd in the pic too so have they just added the uk plate to make it seem more believable? Quote
Chris`I Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I smell Photoshop! Surely Nissan wouldnt be so stupid as to blatenly copy the RS vinyls? I'm sure that would end up in court! I do like the yellow though, wonder if you could remove the stickers Quote
Walbertonio Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Well, if real I do like the alloys on there, but the vinyl... Quote
bronzee Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 I do like the yellow though, wonder if you could remove the stickers + 1. If the stickers are real, they rather scream, and not in a classy way. Otherwise spoiling the look of the car. Quote
Rob_Quads Posted July 4, 2009 Author Posted July 4, 2009 Pretty sure its the plate that Nissan own - Pretty sure they used it on a black 350z before Quote
Chris`I Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 Pretty sure its the plate that Nissan own - Pretty sure they used it on a black 350z before Used to be owned by some senior management in charge of the 350z IIRC. Couldnt remember the full story. Wonder if this 370z belongs to the same chap? Quote
Beavis Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 Pretty sure its the plate that Nissan own - Pretty sure they used it on a black 350z before +1 Think it was on the turbo or supercharged zed they were messing about with. Quote
Jotun Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 That plate is currently on a white 350z. This story is a clear fake and if you look closely you can see the vinyls are photoshopped on. I think its the work of a porker fan boy trying to say that Nissan are copying Porsche. Quote
P15UL T Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 lol...there not even stright with the door sill Quote
N1SM0350z Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 It does exist, theres an article on PH and saw one at Goodwood. Also after having now seen a 370 in the flesh I love it!! I cant believe how much they've upgraded the interior. Quote
martinmac Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 As a betting man I would put any money you like on this car existing and being spotted in the UK very very soon. Possibly on the back of a road transporter near Gatwick with other 370zs and a few GTRs. Just a guess though Quote
IanS Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 It does exist, theres an article on PH and saw one at Goodwood. Also after having now seen a 370 in the flesh I love it!! I cant believe how much they've upgraded the interior. +1 saw it at Goodwood. Assumed it was a promotional car, not some form of special edition. Was nice to sit in the 370, and indeed my first look at one in the metal. Busy interior not necesarily a good thing, but overall very nice. Dont think I could be tempted in to one as a new car......the GTR that was next to it though..... Quote
Ebized Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Saw the cars today being transported from Goodwood going east on the A264 - quick u-turn and sprint down the dual carriageway to get some pics. So the 'special editon' (with wonky stripe and decals ) certainly does exist. Clever of Martin to guess a spot would be made Quote
N1SM0350z Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Damn it!, if we'd got our sh*t together we could have pulled a fast and furious on that truck and 6 of us could have been very happy gentlemen or ladys indeed Quote
martinmac Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Same reason a lot of Micras have Micra on them, it helps the dealers out. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted July 6, 2009 Posted July 6, 2009 Damn it!, if we'd got our sh*t together we could have pulled a fast and furious on that truck and 6 of us could have been very happy gentlemen or ladys indeed True, true, we'd be doing all this syncro driving and stuff, get the truck to stop only to find that the keys were sent ahead in a different vehicle....

I thought that'd probably be the case... hmm we need somone on the inside Quote
