Just ahead of its “official” debut at the L.A. Auto Show later this week, Nissan has spilled the beans on its new 370Z. The company hasn’t set a price as of yet (or they don’t want to hand it out just yet), but they have said the new Z will start at around $30,000. That’s not a bad bill for the 332 horsepower, 270 lb-ft of torque pouring out of the new 3.7-liter VQ V6. The new motor is good for all that power and 18 mpg city/26 mpg highway, with either the six-speed manual or the seven-speed auto. As most keen-eyes suspected, the car has a shorter wheel-base than the out-going model, with the rollers spaced 100.4 inches. That makes for a car that’s a full 2.7 inches shorter, but 1.3 inches wider. All those digits boil down to just one thing: faster than the old Zed. [Source: Nissan]
