The new Nissan 370Z sports car, successor to the 350Z, goes on sale in South Africa on 10 June.

The new 370Z raises the bar on the driving experience of this uniquely Japanese sports coupe.

The vehicle will be available at R499 000 for the manual transmission with the world's first "SynchroRev Match" technology, and at R516 200 for the automatic transmission. Further details will be available at launch on 10 June.

"The arrival of this latest-generation 'Z' on local shores confirms Nissan's commitment to the rich seam of motoring enthusiasts across our nation, and attests to Nissan’s offering of one of the most complete model ranges available in the SA motoring sector," the company said in a statement.

The Nissan 350Z it replaces earned the accolades of driving enthusiasts across the globe for its tactile balance and gutsy 3.5-litre V6 motor while rejuvenating the iconic Z-car heritage.
