Nissan 370Z updated for 2018 model year

Nissan 370Z updated for 2018 model year New clutch, tweaked styling and higher-spec standard infotainment for the nine-year-old sports coupé

The Nissan 370Z sports coupé has been updated for 2018.

The main change is the addition of a higher-performance clutch from performance part maker Exedy. Nissan claims this "perfects the downshift" by "reducing pedal effort and increasing gearchange precision". Mechanically, the rest of the car is unchanged. 

On the exterior, subtle tweaks including tinted lights, a new 19in alloy wheel design and a new metallic red paint option. These were revealed earlier this year on the US-market 370Z Heritage edition, which was revealed at the this year's New York motor show.

Inside, the highest-spec infotainment system - a 7.0in touchscreen with sat-nav and a reversing camera  - is now standard on GT models; before it was only standard on the 370Z Nismo. 

The refreshed 370Z is now available to order in the UK, priced from £29,185 - the same as the current model which increased to £27,430 in January of this year, but just £2290 over the car’s original price in 2009.

At nine years old, the 370Z has been around for two to three years longer than would usually be expected of a car.

Neal clinched victory in the extended Diamond Double race Jack Goff stars in qualifying and race one, while veteran Neal clinches glory in double-length finale Triple British Touring Car champion Matt Neal clinched victory in the special extended Diamond Double race at Snetterton, held to mark the 60th anniversary of the series in his Honda Civic Type R . Rising stars Jack Goff and Ashley Sutton also took race wins at the Norfolk track. Instead of the usual reverse-grid finale, the third race at Snetterton was extended from 12 laps to 20, with double championship points on offer and no success ballast. The race also featured its own separate qualifying session. Picture special: 60 years of the BTCC That was good news for Eurotech driver Goff, who went fastest in both qualifying sessions to claim two pole positions in his Civic Type R. He made the first one count, pulling out a big lead in treacherous wet conditions.  The young guns of the BTCC Behind Goff, reigning champion

Japan's micro sports cars – Honda and Daihatsu kei cars driven

S660 and Copen are the only kei sports cars in production Kei cars are big in Japan, but do they deliver driving thrills? We sample a pair in Tokyo to find out When the American style of christening storms came to Britain a couple of years ago, it was inevitable that some wag in the Met Office would find a way to undermine the whole concept with an underwhelming name to snigger about.  Storm Brian was the result. It’s a fine English name but perhaps lacking the gravitas of many of those coined overseas. “In terms of impact, we’ve had spray overtopping quaysides,” someone from the Environment Agency told the BBC of Brian’s pummelling of Cornwall. Top marks for not trying, Brian.  While Brian was doing his thing on the other side of the world, Typhoon Lan – now there’s a name – was homing in on southern Japan, bringing with it 140mph winds and a storm that made photographer Stan Papior wish he’d invested in a waterproof camera and jacket.  Look really closely at some of his pictur
