NISSAN 370Z Roadster 2009-2012 Photos, engines & full specs

Nissan has released the new 370Z Roadster less than an year from the official debut of the new 370Z sports car. The magic behind this new convertible's appeal was the same 3.7 V6 powerplant that developed 328 hp at 7,000 rpm.

The new roadster featured a soft-top system that unfolded or closed in just 20 seconds and had been designed with emphasis on reducing air turbulence and interior noise levels. The convertibles is as balanced as the Japanese car manufacturer has accustomed its clients with the previous acclaimed model the 350Z Roadster. The car came with minor visual changes, but retains the overall exterior line of its predecessor.

This is the first car ever to have an available optional system that controlled the engine speed for smoother gear changes, which was called the SynchroRev Match.

The new 370Z was powered by a more powerful engine than its predecessor, a 3.7-liter V6 developing 326 bhp.

The touring model was equipped with heated and cooling leather power seats. It was available with 2 packages, the Sport and the Navigation package. The first one had 19-inch alloys, new sport brakes, a 6-speed manual gearbox, and a Viscous Limited Slip Differential.

The Navigation package added a Nissan Hard Drive Navigation System with real-time traffic information touch-screen.
