This time, i want to show you Nissan GT-R sibling. It's a red Nissan 370Z, with a Greddy tampo. My Nissan 370Z is a part of 2014 HW Workshop - Performance.
Nissan 370Z is a sport car debuted in Hot Wheels 2010 New Models, succeeding Nissan 350Z.
Origin
The Nissan 370Z (known as the Fairlady Z Z34 in Japan) is a sports car manufactured by Nissan Motors.
The name "Fairlady" was given to the new sports car line by Mr. Katsuji
Kawamata, President Of Nissan Motors Japan, after he attended the
Broadway Musical "My Fair Lady" while visiting the US in 1958. He felt
that the name would invoke an image of beauty for the car - because
people would think of the beauty of the music and the leading lady in
that Broadway Musical.
Mr. Yutaka Katayama, then President of Nissan Motors USA, knew that his
customers would not accept the name "Fairlady" for a Sports Car in
the USA, so the Sales and Marketing departments in the US had used the
cars model numbers for the most part, in advertising and sales
promotion, and with the introduction of the new models for 1965 the
badging on the front fenders was changed, on the US cars, from
"Fairlady" to "Datsun 1600".
When the new S30 "Fairlady Z" was designed and built for the US Market
(as the HLS30) - Mr. Katayama suggested that it not be badged as the
"Fairlady' in the US. Mr. K. thought that the car should be named
something more aggressive, like "Tiger" or "Shark" in keeping with US
cultural traditions and values. That idea having been turned down in
Japan, he was willing to accept "Datsun 240-Z". The 240 was a shortened
version of the 2400cc engine displacement, and the "Z", which had been
the new car's product file designation within Nissan's Design
Department.
Mr. Teiichi Hara, General Manager of Design Department No. 2, had given
the original sports car plans the file designation "Type Z", as most all
of the other characters in the roman alphabet had been previously used.
(It is supposed that the roman alphabet is used in Japan for alphabetic
filing systems ie. alphabetical order.) -Z-
So, when it comes to Nissan 370Z, it means that 370 is a shortened version of 3700cc.

Real Life
Nissan 370Z was announced on October 29, 2008 and was first shown at an event in Los Angeles ahead of the 2008 Greater LA Auto Show, before being officially unveiled at the show itself. The 370Z is the sixth-generation of the Nissan Z-car line, succeeding the
350Z.
Almost every piece and component of the 370Z has been redesigned from the previous model (350Z). It is powered by the
VQ37VHR 3.7 L (230 cu in)
DOHCV6 with
Variable Valve and Lift Control and produces 332 bhp (248 kW; 337 PS). Power delivery to the rear wheels comes through a new 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters or 6-speed manual transmission which features the world's first
synchronized down/up shift rev-matching system, SynchroRev Match.
Compared to the 350Z,
the 370Z has a wheelbase 4 in (100 mm) shorter at 100.4 in (2,550 mm)
and an overall length 2.7 in (69 mm) shorter at 167.1 in (4,240 mm). The
overall width has been increased by 1.3 in (33 mm), the rear track by
2.2 in (56 mm), and overall height reduced by 0.3 in (7.6 mm). The
smaller exterior dimensions and use of more lightweight materials help
reduce weight. (Although it should be noted that a 2003–2005 base model 350Z is actually lighter than the 370Z, since federally mandated safety features add weight to models produced after 2008).
