| 2015 Nissan 370Z NISMO Sportscar On the inside, the Recaro leather seats have been redesigned for better comfort and performance during cornering. The red accents seen on the exteriors continue to the inside of the sportscar with an Alcantara leather wrapped steering wheel and a NISMO tachometer. The car gets a new 7 inch touch screen infotainment system with a hard drive based navigation module. A Bose audio system and a rear view camera come standard. Until recently, Nissan used to sell the 370Z Sportscar in India. The sportscar was imported as a CBU and used to sell for about Rs. 60 Lakhs. Nissan has discontinued the 370Z from the Indian market on account of poor sales and there is no indication from the company on a relaunch of this sportscar. Thereby, all we can do is admire the newest version of the 370Z as the possibility of this car being sold here is minimal.
