09 July 2007 - Nissan 350Z was crowned by readers of Auto Express as their favorite performance car in the 2006 Driver Power Survey, beating 100 other vehicles as voted overall winner in the 'Best Performance' category.
Auto Express commented: "Impressive is the fact that the 350Z has finished higher up the chart than several more costly rivals." The 350Z scored 97.78% which is 5% ahead of its closest rival at 92.77%.
With more than 46,000 readers giving their votes, the survey is one of the biggest of its kind in the UK and the results were published in the magazine as well as on its website.
Auto Express added: "Owners are thrilled by the V6 powered model's, which pulls hard in every one of its six gears. Throttle response is razor-sharp and the rear wheel drive chassis means there is ample traction when accelerating."
"The Z is a great performer, whether in auto or manual transmission" said Saleh Jafar, Senior Manager Corporate Communications, Nissan Middle East. "This survey is just another milestone for the 350Z which has received a great welcome since it was first introduced in the Middle East. Boasting an impressive 310bhp but also allows the engine to rev higher at 6400rpm, while maintaining a flatter torque curve, the Z is clearly one of the most aggressive offerings in the sports car market" continued Jafar.
The current Nissan 350Z is enhanced with LED rear lights, HID Bi-xenon headlight, standard 18" RAYS alloys with Brembo performance brakes and a revised interior including a in-dash 6-disc CD changer with Bose Audio System, a distinctive shifter design and unique programmable shift light add to the overall impression.
