Nissan gave its loyal fans a special treat yesterday by debuting the 2015 370Z Nismo for the first time ever at ZDAYZ, a gathering for Nissan, Datsun and Nismo enthusiasts. The new model isn't a completely new car, but rather a refresh that will hit showrooms in July of this year.

The notable changes include:

The face is much more GT-R inspired, with the way the chin and splitters are set up, the horizontal LED runner lights, and the trapezoidal mouth. In the rear, the boot now has much bigger C-vents on each side, the exhaust is a more snug fit under the bumper, and the wing is no longer gigantic and its own separate entity, it's a smoothly integrated lip/fin.

You now have a choice in transmissions, between a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed auto.

The four-wheel independent suspension has been retuned, and there are newly designed Recaro seats specially made for the 370Z.

The redesigned forged aluminum-alloy 19-inch wheels by RAYS are new.

A new Nismo tech model is available, which adds a 7-inch touchscreen nav system, a rearview monitor, and Bose stereo with bluetooth streaming.

Not new is its 350hp 3.7L DOHC V6 that'll give you 276 lb-ft of torque. You can pick between Solid Red, Magnetic Black, Brilliant Silver and Pearl White.
