At the New York International Auto Show, Nissan reveals the special 50^th Anniversary Edition for Nissan 370z 2020. Their birthday gift to us. This is also very serendipitous as New York City is also where the original Datsun 240z debuted almost 50 years ago.

Despite its growing age, the Nissan 370z is still a very interesting platform which harkens back to the legendary Datsun 240z, with the 50^th Anniversary Edition 370Z specifically to the #46 Brock Racing Enterprises car that had won many Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) races. This was a big deal as it cemented the Japanese made sports car as a contender in the global auto scene.

According to the latest car news, Nissan 370z 2020 50^th Anniversary vehicle itself, it features the red colored livery of the #46 BRE car that won SCCA championships a long time ago. Other than that, silver with black accent version is also available.

Is the 2020 Nissan 370Z 50th Anniversary Edition a WIN or a WASTE?

The 370z 50^th Anniversary Edition is not changed and still has that sleek, low slung profile that the 370z and its past iterations had. Most notably with the Nissan 370Z are its upswept quarter-window design and its low roofline giving the car not only that distinctive sporty coupe look but also the body rigidity and stability that it needs for spirited driving.

Also of note is the car’s high-intensity discharge bi-functional xenon headlights which have a distinct boomerang shape. These lights have an automatic activation feature and LED daytime running lights in combination with the 370z’s front bumper results in an elegant face that still somewhat gives hints of aggression.
