The Nissan 370Z NISMO Roadster Concept, a one-off design study created to gauge market interest in an ultimate factory Z® Roadster, is designed to provide the best of two worlds – the open-air driving exhilaration of a standard 370Z Roadster and the racing-inspired style and performance of a 370Z NISMO Coupe.
The 370Z NISMO Roadster Concept offers unique engine, suspension, exterior and interior features versus standard Nissan 370Z Roadster models – including a 350-horsepower 3.7-liter V6 and NISMO-tuned suspension. It would join the current Nissan 370Z NISMO coupe model, expanding NISMO lineup to five models, if approved for production.
