There are four colors you can choose from: Gun Metallic, Pearl white, Solid red, and Magnetic black. Nismo rear spoiler, lower side sills, rear fascia and side mirrors are also offered in dark gray color.
Interior
The interior is elegantly designed and comes with sport seats wrapped in red and black fabric with contrasting red stitching. Other features are: an Alcantara wrapped steering column, leather-wrapped shift knob, aluminum-trimmed pedals, new Nismo tachometer, power door locks, automatic climate control, adjustable front-seat Active head-restraints, and Nissan-Intelligent-Key with push-button start. Optional features are: 2 extra speakers, HomeLink Universal Transceiver, 2 subwoofers and auto-dimming inside mirror.
Because of its intended improved performance, the 2014 Nissan 370Z NISMO will have few rivals. However, it will still have to contend with the likes of the BMW 135i Coupe and the Audi TTS.
