Clarkson took the new BMW Z4 against the Nissan 370Z in Top Gear


If you are regular in our blog, we had covered you on the BMW Z4 launch in Kuala Lumpur. Well to be frank, we do not have the chance to test drive wildly and review the car like Jeremy Clarkson. So, we can’t give any solid comment and comparisons between the Z4 and its range except for some brief comments.


In the latest episode of Top Gear UK, Z4 is reviewed to be softer, heavier and more stylish than its predecessor, while the 370Z is harder, lighter and more fancy exterior than 350Z. The 370Z is a coupe and the Z4 has a stow-able aluminum roof. The BMW is a genuine luxury car offering, while the 370Z is more like a Japanese’s Porsche.


However, the two vehicles having similar overall dimensions and performance. Top Gear took this two coupes against each another on the test track. Well, its obviously the Japanese’s Porsche have the better lap time compare to the Z4 which is more focused on luxury and styling.


Check out the video by Jeremy Clarkson that comparing the new BMW Z4 against the


Nissan 370Z from this week Top Gear UK.

Cobra N+ spices up the Nissan 370Z Coupe

Cobra Nissan 370Z


Cobra N+ from Germany has released a new sport package for the Nissan 370Z (or Fairlady Z in Japan).


The carbon fiber aero kit comes a front spoiler, exterior mirror covers and a rear diffuser insert with openings for the two 120-mm tailpipes of the Cobra N+ sport exhaust system. Interior upgrades are limited to carbon-fiber-look scuff plates.


To improve handling, the Cobra N+ developed a custom-tailored tire-wheel combination with lightweight 19-inch rims wrapped in 255/40 ZR 19 high-performance tires up front and 285/35 ZR 19 tires at the back. The kit also includes new sport springs that lower the 370Z’s ride height by around 30mm and a sport suspension with adjustable damper rates.


Moreover, Cobra N+ offers a sport muffler with an electronically controlled flap which is said to allow the driver to select an exhaust note ranging from “discrete to pure racing sound” at the push of the button to make it sounds better to suits the driver’s mood. However, the package doesn’t include any sort of modification or upgrades to the engine performance.
