Our new friend Ryen was able to briefly catch a cloaked mule on highway 60, leading through Phoenix, Arizona yesterday, and although the video after the jump is brief, the VQ37HR-powered coupe does look a bit shorter than its predecessor, lending credence to the rumors we've heard since 2007.<br /><br />As <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/26/nissan-considering-high-performance-v8-version-of-z-car-more-37/">reported previously</a>, the 370Z will be powered by the same 3.7-liter V6 found in the Infiniti G37, so output should be up and over 330 hp, with torque cresting the 270 lb.-ft. mark. The new Z will be shortened by five to seven inches, losing about 220 pounds in the process.<br /><br />Hit the jump to view the video and check out <span style="font-style: italic;">BestCar</span>'s recreation <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/26/nissan-considering-high-performance-v8-version-of-z-car-more-37/">here</a>.<br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/nissan-360-the-design-future-and-the-new-z/">Nissan 370Z teasers</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/nissan-360-the-design-future-and-the-new-z/805018/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/nissan_370z_thumbnail.jpg " alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/nissan-360-the-design-future-and-the-new-z/779580/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/nissan_360_design_studies 01_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/nissan-360-the-design-future-and-the-new-z/779581/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/nissan_360_design_studies 02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/nissan-360-the-design-future-and-the-new-z/779582/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/nissan_360_design_studies 03_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/nissan-360-the-design-future-and-the-new-z/779583/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/04/nissan_360_design_studies 04_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/10/spy-video-nissan-370z-caught-in-arizona/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Spy VIDEO: Nissan 370Z caught in Arizona</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/10/spy-video-nissan-370z-caught-in-arizona/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1251596/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/07/10/spy-video-nissan-370z-caught-in-arizona/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p><hr />
