2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster Pricing Revealed

Nissan announced pricing for the new 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster, a new model that will hit the dealerships across the United States in September, and is based on the 370Z Coupe, released in January this year. Four models will be offered, priced as follows: $36,970 for the 6MT, $38,270 for the 7AT, $40,520 for the Touring 6MT and $41,820 for the Touring 7AT model.

The two Touring models will feature a 6CD Bose audio system, XM Satellite Radio (XM subscription required, sold separately), Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System, HomeLink Universal Transceiver, aluminum-trimmed pedals and power leather-appointed heated and cooled ventilated net seats.

Moreover, there are two option packages for the Touring model only:

• Sport Package, with 19-inch RAYS forged wheels and Bridgestone Potenza tires, Nissan Sport Brakes, SynchroRev Match (6-speed manual transmission only) and Viscous Limited Slip Differential
• Navigation Package, with Hard Drive-based Nissan Navigation System, 9.3GB Music Box Hard Drive and USB connectivity.

All models will be available in seven exterior colors: Solid Red, Magnetic Black, Brilliant Silver, Platinum Graphite, Pearl White, Monterey Blue and Black Cherry (premium color).

According to Nissan, the new 370 Roadster features 26 more horsepower than the 2009 350Z Roadster, and also cleaner emissions thanks to the 3.7-liter V6 engine with VVEL technology (Variable Valve Event and Lift Control).

Other differences between the 350Z and the new 370Z are the new technologies available on the latter model, such as including Bluetooth, XM Satellite Radio and Nissan Navigation System with XM NavTraffic Real-Time Traffic Information.

"The new 370Z Roadster offers more refinement, quality, performance and sheer driving pleasure than any Z convertible that has come before - while retaining its great value positioning in the sports car segment," said Christian Meunier, vice president, Nissan Marketing.
