Inside the Z will be very familiar to 350Z owners, but it’s mostly new at surface level, and the material quality and most of the convenience features - including the new 8.0-inch multimedia screen - are a big jump over the 370Z.

The steering wheel finally has telescopic adjustment, but it’s also a good, round wheel, with really nice grippy leather, and the parts you hold were actually modelled on the R32 GT-R.

Nissan doesn't quote a 0-100km/h figure, but given its 13 per cent power-to-weight advantage over the 370Z suggests something in the vicinity of a 4.6 second time.

There's only two, but they're trimmed in partial leather and perforated Alcantara. Each gets four-way power adjustment and seat heaters, but no seat cooling, and the driver's seat adds manually adjustable seat height and lumbar support. Even with this height adjustment, the seating position is a bit high for a for a car that’s all about driving fun.

The Z finally gets a modern multimedia screen with CarPlay and Android Auto, and while that screen is a bit small at 8 inches, the 12.3inch driver instrument display is bang on what you’d expect it to be. 

There’s also an eight-speaker Bose audio system, leather and Alcantara trim, power adjustment and seat heaters, but no seat cooling, and that’s really the only thing that’s missing.
