Nissan updates the 370Z Nismo for 2015

Numerous cosmetic and technical changes mark out a refreshed Nissan 370Z Nismo.

The facelift is centred on restyled bumpers and a smaller rear spoiler. They aren't just there to spruce up the looks though, as Nissan is claiming that one side effect is increased aerodynamic downforce.

Also distinguishing the 2015 370Z Nismo are a set of black and silver Rays 19” alloy wheels, revised door mirrors, LED daytime running lights and black headlight bezels.

Inside, the highlight is a new pair of Recaro front seats that are reckoned to offer better comfort and support while being lighter. What's more, greater cabin refinement is promised thanks to the introduction of carpeting with enhanced sound-deadening qualities.

The 339 bhp (253 kW / 344 PS) 3.7 litre V6 engine and six-speed manual transmission are unaltered, but some of the suspension components have received attention. In particular, recalibrated rear springs and dampers are now fitted which are intended to improve the car's ride quality.

Pricing has yet to be announced, but Nissan is planning to launch the 2015 370Z Nismo across Europe later this year.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
