The Nissan 350Z used two different engines over its seven-year run. The VQ35DE V6 was used for model years 2003 to 2006 and produced 287 to 300 horsepower. The VQ35HR V6 engine appeared on the 2007 and 2008 350Z and upped the horsepower to 306.

The Nissan 350Z marked the rebirth of an icon—one of Japan’s most long-running and beloved sports cars: the Z. First birthed in 1969, the Z-car line spanned the next four decades with four generations of progressively larger, more powerful sports cars.

Initially, the coupe came in Base, Enthusiast, Performance, Touring and Track versions, while the Roadster was limited to Enthusiast and Touring trim levels. The Track trim came with lightweight wheels and Brembo brakes, but its suspension tuning was the same as all other coupes. The Nissan 350Z was succeeded by the 370Z for the 2009 model year.
