Be an alternative to models like the BMW Z4, Mercedes-Benz SLK, Porsche Boxster S or Audi S5 Cabrio. The Nissan 370Z Roadster, as the Porsche and Audi, has a roof which is made of a canvas; the Mercedes-Benz and BMW Z4 carry a folding metal.

The roof of the Nissan 370Z Roadster has been designed according to Nissan, to meet three objectives: the Nissan 370Z Roadster is recognizable as a Nissan 'Z' by its silhouette, and is convertible tops or the operation of opening and closing the roof is rapid and piece of cake.

The moon roof is glass and carries electrical resistors to prevent fogging. The Nissan 370Z Roadster has not specified how much it takes to open or close. The model it replaces, the 350Z Roadster, it took 20 s.

The hood is connected to the frame of the windshield with three fixing points, the central beam to be a release or block manually (Nissan has not explained how they carried out this operation on the Nissan 370Z Roadster).

Behind the seats has a crystal deflector for limiting air turbulence reaching the occupants when driving with the roof folded.

The Nissan 370Z Roadster has a 3.7 liter V6 engine that provides 330 hp. It is more powerful and has more displacement than the Nissan 370Z Roadster; a 3.5-liter V6 in the latest version had 313 hp. It can be coupled to a gearbox six-speed manual or an automatic seven relations, which can be operated from the lever or by a cam located behind the wheel.

The manual transmission has a system called 'SynchroRev Control" which allows the gears quickly and easily fall over the cuts.

Nissan's upcoming redesign of its Z car is almost here, and proof positive is this prototype caught cruising around in the vicinity of Germany's famed Nürburgring. The redesign is on full display here, with the boomerang-style headlights and taillights first seen on the new Maxima clearly visible. The whole front end is new but retains a visual connection with its predecessor, while big fender flares give away that the new car might be rolling on a wider track. There are also a few more kinks and creases on the new car, which are on display in the chunky C-pillar. We think it looks terrific as an attractive evolution of the current 350Z. The new car will change its nomenclature slightly to 370Z when it debuts this auto show season thank to the addition of Nissan's new 3.7L V6 that will be producing well over 300 horsepower in the new Z. Word has it that Nissan has also worked hard to address one of the biggest criticisms against the current car: weight. We'll probably have more spy shots of the 370Z as soon as Nissan begins running it around the 'Ring, and wouldn't be surprised to see the car officially debut at next month's LA Auto Show.

'Central 20' Tunes into the Nissan 370Z

If there's one thing that Nissan 370Z owners don't have anything to worry about, that's the availability of all sorts of tuning packages for their sports coupe, some even from companies that most of us have never heard of before. One of the less well-known tuners is 'Central 20' from Japan that has released a new sport package for the 370Z. Their package includes a bodykit with a longer front bumper, side sills and a new rear bumper with side air-vents that brings to mind the Audi R8 but does not seem to tie-in with the rest of the car's looks.

'Central 20' also offers a set of black alloy wheels, new quad exhaust tailpipes, a sport suspension that brings the 370Z closer to the road and a more powerful brake system with 4-piston calipers up front and 6-piston at the rear.

Nissan Announces UK Pricing for 2009 370Z

The all-new Nissan 370Z will be available for online order in the UK from Monday 2nd February with first customer deliveries in the country due in July. The range consists of three different trim versions, the entry-level 370Z priced from £26,895, the GT Pack priced £30195 and the top-of-the-line GT Ultimate that starts from £31,895. The latest 'Z' coupe is powered by a 3.7-litre V6 engine rated at 331PS, while torque is 366Nm. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox but buyers can opt for a new 7-speed automatic transmission that is priced at £,1400.

The entry level 370Z comes equipped with Intelligent Key, engine stop/start button, power adjustable seats, climate controlled air-conditioning, 18" alloy wheels, automatic xenon headlamps, curtain airbag, alarm, audio with auxiliary input and Bluetooth hands free phone connection.

The GT Pack adds RAYS alloy wheels, heated seats trimmed in black suede and leather, a six-CD Bose audio system with eight speakers, cruise control, speed limiter and Synchro Rev Control -a technology that automatically matches the revs, during up and down-shifts, with the manual gearbox, promising to make gear changes faster and smoother.

Finally, the GT Ultimate gets Persimmon suede leather along with a DVD satellite navigation system with full European mapping covering 33 countries and voice guidance in seven languages.

Aside from the automatic gearbox, the only other available option for the 370Z is the metallic paint priced at £450.

Nissan Drops the top on its 2010 370Z Roadster - Official Design Sketches

Nissan has registered a series of official design sketches for its upcoming 370Z Roadster at the European Trademark Office. Like its predecessor, the 350Z Roadster, the drop-top version of the all-new 'Z' coupe that was introduced towards the end of 2008, will be equipped with an electric folding fabric roof. As you would expect, the new 370Z Roadster will sport the same 3.7-liter V6 engine as the coupe model, rated at 332HP / 7,000 rpm and 270 lb-ft of torque / 5,200 rpm. It will be available with a close-ratio 6-speed manual or a new 7-speed automatic transmission.

Due to the necessary structural add ons, the 370Z Roadster will most likely gain a few extra pounds over its tin-top sibling. In terms of prices, the convertible 'Z' will cost a bit more than the coupe that starts off from $29,930 for the entry-level model equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and from $31,230 with the new 7-speed automatic.

According to Carscoop sources and unless something changes down the road, Nissan is planning to perform the global debut of the 370Z Roadster that will be sold as a 2010 model, at the New York Auto Show this April.

The NISMO-prepped GT-R and 370Z will be two of fifteen Nissan models to make their way to the Tokyo Auto Salon, which runs January 12-14. While not as exclusive as the GT-R SpecV that was officially revealed on Wednesday -see details here, the GT-R NISMO Club Sports features several improvements over the standard car. Developed collaboratively with the GT-R product development team and Nismo engineers, the GT-R Club Sports most prominent aspect is the Chassis Package.

The pack includes a set of race-spec Bilstein Damptronic adjustable dampers, stiffer front (18.5kg/mm) and rear springs(9.6 kg/mm) and new 20-inch Rays forged aluminum wheels wrapped in Bridgestone RE070R run-flat tires, sized 225/40 and 285/35, front and rear.

Nismo also added a new lightweight titanium exhaust system that removes 11 pounds from the GT-R's overall weight and a set of the carbon fiber backed and leather trimmed manually adjusted bucket seats that save an extra 13 pounds. Nissan supports that at the Sendai Hi-land Raceway, the GT-R NISMO Club Sports outrun the standard GT-R model by a full second

As for the 370Z or as it's called in Japan, Fairlady Z, the NISMO S-tune package features a more rigid body brace, sports suspension and the "Aero Package" body kit.
