The Nissan Z Concept from 2001, shown here at the 2001 Chicago Auto Show, was described in the Nissan brochure as “…revolutionary, inside and out. Innovative, yet with a nod to heritage.” Scheduled for release in the summer of 2002, it would become the 2003 Nissan 350Z, built in Oppama, Japan, with few changes, featuring a 3.5-leter aluminum-alloy 24-valve dual overhead cam V6 engine with molybdenum-coated pistons and a close-ratio six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission. Other significant standard features included a 160-watt 6-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, and 17-inch 7-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels (as opposed to the 20-inch 7-spoke flangeless rims on the coppertone-painted Z concept). In addition to the base model, the 350Z would be available in Enthusiast, Touring, Performance, and Track models as well.
