To be honest, we struggled to see what all the fuss was about when our sister site, Paint Enthusiast, ran into our office and eagerly waved a press release at us about Nissan adding yellow to the 370Z's option list. But it happened during our daily ping pong break, so we listened.
Turns out, it's actually quite interesting; it's not just a yellow 370Z, see, it's actually a limited edition. And it looks sweet too. The 370Z Yellow gets 19-inch forged RAYS alloy wheels, as well as Porsche 911 GT3 RS style graphics (don't tell us you didn't notice, Nissan) down the flanks in black.
And because it's based on the 370Z 'GT Pack' edition, it's stuffed with kit including satnav, illuminated entry plates, a Bose stereo, heated seats and a cockpit swathed in leather and suede. The engine, drivetrain and chassis are as normal, meaning 326bhp and 270lb.ft and 0-62mph in 5.3 seconds. It costs £31,650 for a manual or £33,050 for an auto from September. We're not told how many it will be limited too, but our guess is that you won't struggle to get one if you want one.
