Nissan reportedly preparing Nürburgring edition 370Z for the European market
Nissan 370Z – Click above for a high-res image galleryWhile Nissan has been trying to master the Nürburgring in its flagship GT-R supercar, it was the one-rung-down 370Z which the Japanese automaker fielded at the track's 24-hour race last month. To commemorate the occasion, Nissan is reportedly preparing to drop a special commemorative edition of its 370Z on the European market.
Although photos are still unavailable at this time, the Nissan 370Z Nürburgring edition is apparently set to be differentiated by a set of 19-inch OZ Racing alloys wrapped in Dunlop rubber, a sport exhaust system and the requisite batch of special badges. Only 80 examples will be made, each individually numbered, and the model will apparently only be available in yellow. And just to sweeten the deal, Nissan is throwing in a gift card good for over $200 of track time on the Nordschleife.

Why does Europe get all of the cool cars. Why not send this special edition our way?

Europeans don't like ricers as much as Americans do and Nissan is just doing this to promote their image using the Ring as much as they can.

It's unfortunate that if you use the gift card, your warranty will be voided.

Why does Europe get all the cool cars? Your kidding right? It's got OZ wheels and a sport exhaust, both of which can be had here, but you can pay and extra $5000 for wheels, exhaust and badges if you want. :)

This is gay. The only way a car should get a Nürburgring badge is if the owner of the car physically ran laps with the car at the track.
If anything, it should be a Twin Ring Motegi version instead.

It's perfect, put someone in a nice new car, point them towards the world's most challenging race track, and smack them on the ass. What's the worst that could happen?

Such an awesome car but I still can't get over that fish face. I'd just like to see different headlights.

I love how its a "Nürburgring" or "European edition" and the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

Yea especially when the link to the gallery is "Gallery: First Drive: 2009 Nissan 370Z".

the steering wheel is on the correct side for Europe, except UK.

If you gave me a ZR-1 in Schoolbus Yellow, I wouldn't drive it.
Hideous color.

I wonder if Nissan will claim it runs a 7:29 too?
