Japanese Magazine Builds a 2009 Nissan 370Z Replica!

Those chaps over at Japanese car magazine Best Car must have too much free time in their hands. Instead of publishing a set of spy shots or renderings of the forthcoming 2009 Nissan 370Z, BC went ahead and commissioned a 1:1 scale replica of the model based on the current 350Z! The 370Z replica was built by Mad House in Shizuoka prefecture that employed the leaked teaser shots of the model as a base for the coupe's appearance.

The Japanese tuning house replicated 370Z looks by using fiberglass for the creation the front and rear end of the car. Since the headlights were too hard too create from scratch, Mad House came up with a simple solution using custom-made stickers! -More pics after the jump

Nissan 370Z Unveiled During Presentation!

Thanks to a vivid Carscoop reader who wishes to remain anonymous, we now have the first (semi) official shot of the forthcoming Nissan 370Z. From what he told us, the camera-phone picture was shot during a recent Nissan event. Although the picture isn't of the best quality, it's apparent that the 370Z's design is more of an evolution of the current 350Z, albeit a bit more muscular.

Power will come from a revised version of the Infiniti G37's 3.7-liter V6 engine (hence the name 370Z), which should deliver somewhere in-between 330 and 350Hp. The rear-wheel-drive 370Z will be offered with both manual and automatic transmissions. The unveiling of the 370Z is expected to take place this fall at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19. -Thanks for the pic "T"
