Nissan NISMO 370Z - Click above for high-res image galleryWe got our first sneak peak of the new NISMO 370Z yesterday afternoon, and we decided the car was worth a second look when we spotted it on the floor of the New York Auto Show today. The jury is still out on whether the fast and furiously styled body kit is simply boy racer or just way overdone, but we all seem to like that Nissan decided to pull some teeth and deleted the fangs from the Z’s front grille. The NISMO 370Z isn’t all about looks, though, and benefits from 19-inch lightweight wheels wrapped in Yokohama Advan Sport tires, a stiffer suspension and a bump in horsepower to 350 thanks to optimized air intake into the cylinders. Full details on the NISMO 370Z are after the jump, and high-res live shots can be found in the gallery below.

Call it the Lamborgawdy LP300ZX. This “tuned” Nissan was spotted at China’s version of SEMA, the Beijing Automobile Accessories and Decorations Show. It’s from a firm called MPS, which stands for Max Power Sports. Apparently, they bumped the stock 300 hp engine to a more Lambo-esque 500 poinies, so at least the “Power” part seems somewhat credible, but the real draw is that Lamborghini Murcielago body kit. It apparently takes a lot of extra bodywork to create a faux mid-engine look. Note the “Driftmaster” sign in the backround. We doubt this would be fun to run in the D1. We’d stick with the LP670-4 as driven by Sam Hubinette for sideways duty, and have to say we prefer the Tractorri Mustang in the Lamborghini Frankencar category. Check out the gallery below.

2009 Nissan NISMO 370Z - Click above for a high-res gallery
Nissan doesn’t have an official presence at the New York Auto Show this year, but that doesn’t mean the automaker is completely absent from the festivities. Even without an stand, the automaker still needs to show of its wares and that’s exactly what’s happening at tent near Rockefeller plaza this evening. We already got the details on the new 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster and NISMO 370Z earlier this afternoon, so now we present you with a selection of live photos for your view enjoyment.

Toyota has already stepped up and asked the Japanese government for a $2 billion loan to shore up its U.S. lending arm, Toyota Motor Credit Corp. We’ve also heard that Honda may do the same. Add Nissan and Mazda to the list now. The four biggest Japanese automakers will now all likely ask for government [...]
