Z Concept Car was scheduled for release in the summer of 2002. The
concept is described in the Nissan brochure as "...revolutionary, inside
and out. Innovative, yet with a nod to heritage." It would become the
2003 350Z with few changes, featuring a 3.5L aluminum-alloy 24-valve
DOHC V6 with molybdenum-coated pistons and a close-ratio 6-speed manual
or 5-speed automatic transmission. Other significant standard features
included 4-wheel Anti-lock disc brakes, 17-inch 7-spoke aluminum-alloy
wheels and a 160-watt 6-speaker, AM/FM/CD audio system. In addition to
the base model, the 350Z would be available in Enthusiast, Touring,
