Coupe At a Glance
Continuing the 35-year Z® legacy of innovation in design, performance and value that has remained unchallenged since the original Datsun 240Z was introduced in 1970, the 2005 350Z sport car maintains its position as one of the finest performance sports cars on the road today.
2005 ushers in the celebration of the Z history with the release of the 35th anniversary edition. The 35th anniversary Z® and 350Z Track model will offer some unique features, including 300 horsepower from the standard Z®’s 3.5-liter DOHC V6.
All 2005 350Z models receive a number of other enhancements for the new model year, including standard Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS), driver’s seat front and rear lifter, reduced clutch pedal effort for manual transmission models and downshift rev matching for automatic transmission models, heated outside mirrors and a faster navigation system processor for improved route calculation times (for optional navigation system, Touring and 35th Anniversary model only).
A new Ultra Yellow exterior color, which utilizes a new high-luminance and high-chroma pearl pigment and three layers of top coat (with separate color pigment and pearl pigment layers) to create an almost “liquid†surface appearance, is also available for 2005.
