In New York, Nissan has unveiled the anniversary model of the 370Z sports car, the Nissan 370Z 50th Anniversary. Half a century ago, the debut Datsun 240Z debuted in New York. The special edition, which was unveiled shortly before the New York International Auto Show (April 19-28, 2019), pays homage to the # 46 BRE (Brock Racing Enterprises) Datsun 240Z, which has several national SCCA Championships won.

The Nissan 370Z will be available for model year 2020 in the equipment lines 370Z, Pack and Nismo. Trunk, hood, exterior mirrors and A-pillars are contrasted in color from the rest of the body. Additional stripes on the side of the vehicle should remind of the BRE-Datsun. In the side view, a thin line runs from the headlamp to the rear window and empties into a small triangle that is inspired by the C-pillar of the Datsun 240Z.
