Nissan 370Z NISMO Joins Tokyo's Police Fleet
The Nissan 370Z NISMO is the latest vehicle to join Tokyo’s police fleet.
A trio of Nissan 370Z NISMO coupes were gifted to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and the sports cars will help support traffic initiatives in addition to performing regular police duties. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department unveiled the three cars at the Traffic Safety Family Festival with Nissan regional product manager Makata Fuji on hand to give the keys to the police department’s superintendent.
Powered by a 3.7-liter V6 engine with 350 horsepower, the Nissan 370Z NISMO also benefits from a NISMO-tuned chassis and suspension.

The black-and-white themed police livery looks right at home on the 370Z NISMO and the gift came when the Tokyo police department said that it wanted an iconic car to represent its commitment to its road safety campaigns and events in Tokyo.
“We’re delighted to carry out our duties with this cool patrol car,” said Kiyotaka Takahashi, superintendent general of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police.
