Grand Touring
Grand Touring is just a fancy name for "loaded." And this one is definitely loaded. The Grand Touring
Z® comes with RAYS® super lightweight forged aluminum-alloy wheels,* front spoiler, rear spoiler, underbody
diffusers,* Brembo® brakes, leather-appointed seats, power heated seats and more. So if you plan on doing any
touring, do it Grand Touring-style.
*Coupe only. |

Exterior Styling
Z®'s aggressive, confident look is highlighted by its wheel-oriented design, bi-xenon headlights, LED taillights,
redesigned front bumper, and standard 18" cast aluminum-alloy wheels.

Auto-sealing Windows
The aerodynamics are so complete, even the side windows of the Z® follow a two-step closing procedure to help
assure an optimum wind-tight seal at speed.

| |
LED Taillights
Z® is equipped with LED taillights. On these lights, the illumination speed is 100 times faster than a typical
bulb. So when you're braking, the vehicle behind you will be notified quicker. They also consume less power and
have a longer life than traditional bulbs.

Wheel Designs
RAYS® super lightweight 5-spoke 18" x 9.0" (front) and 19" x 10.0" (rear) forged aluminum-alloy
wheels are available on both the Track and Grand Touring Coupe models. The 5-spoke aluminum-alloy 18" x 8.0"
front and 18" x 8.5" rear wheels are standard on all other models.

Z® Roadster
Goes like hell. Feels like heaven. Every inch a Z® — with the same passion for performance — but with a surprise
in store: A convertible soft-top that is designed to go from top up to top down in 20 seconds. The top also features
a rear glass window (not plastic) that's completely enclosed in a hard cover when open. It didn't seem possible,
but Z®'s passion and performance look even better with the freedom to feel the wind blowing through your hair.

Lightweight Design
Innovation is far from easy. But, it isn't nearly as difficult as trying to sell a sports car with anything less
than mind-blowing acceleration. A carbon-fiber composite driveshaft means a significant reduction of the always-ugly
rotating weight, while the liberal use of aluminum throughout the suspension and engine means a twenty-five percent
weight reduction versus standard materials.

Zero-lift Design
In developing the aerodynamics, the goal was zero lift. Which meant endless adjustments to the front and rear underbody
diffusers,* the integrated rear spoiler,* even the muffler. In short, meticulous air flow management. Then, high-speed
testing. On proud, high-banked ovals. Sinister road circuits. And even in a state-of-the-art wind tunnel. The result?
A Track Model with zero lift and a drag coefficient of just .29 Cd.
*Track and Grand Touring Coupe models only. |

Midship Platform
The Z® engine does more than just offer a quick ride up to highway speed. It also helps the Z® get through
turns faster. By positioning the engine behind the front wheel axles, Z's weight distribution is improved, for
a better-balanced car in corners, which translates into more precise handling and quicker turns.

 |
| |

Weight Distribution
Z® is engineered for performance, with key components moved toward the center, creating a front midship platform
and a 53/47 weight distribution. Which means during heavy braking into a corner, additional weight shifts to the
front of the Z® for better steering grip on the front wheels. Even when entering a turn. And when exiting,
the weight distribution shifts rearward under acceleration to approach a near-perfect 50/50 balance.
