New York Preview: Nissan 370Z Roadster and NISMO version coming to NY
Tomorrow night in Manhattan, Nissan will officially drop the top on the new 370Z Roadster, but before then, a teaser site is up with a singular image of the convertible Z for the world to see. A webcast of the event will take place tomorrow at 7 PM EST, where the 370Z Roadster will be shown alongside the NISMO variant of the new Z car.
The convertible Z will be fitted with a power-retractable soft-top rather than the all-too-fashionable folding hard-top, which should keep both weight and complexity in check. The NISMO version is expected to be equipped with a new aero package, along with upgraded suspension, braking and rolling stock and possibly a few tweaks underhood. We'll be on hand Tuesday evening with cameras and laptops in hand, so check back tomorrow for all the details.

If they wanted to keep weight and complexity in check, it would come with a MANUAL soft-top.

not everyone is willing to go through the trouble of a manual top, most buyers prefer convinience over weight savings, hence why they are going with a power roof.
I agree with your view, but they're making business decisions to sell cars not to save 20 lbs or however much it would be.

Wow, more AB posts after 8? And this one after 9? What is the world coming to?! But as for the Z, I hope this one looks better with the top up than the 350 did

In my opinion, the 350 convertible looked terrible top up or down. First I thought that basic shape just doesn't lend itself well to not having a roof, but then the basic shape is more than a little 911-esque and the 911 makes a totally gorgeous convertible so i just don't know. The 350 could just have been a really bad execution.

That is NOT a flattering color. Looks like a surprised bat covered in chocolate.

Sparkling chocolate nonetheless...
Interesting effect, what do you think they are going for? The impulsive candy eaters?

I hope that "new aero package" in the Nismo version is "new" in relation to the previous Nismo photos, not just "new" in relation to the current car. I'm in the market for the Z, and I'd love to get the Nismo (especially if it comes with an oil cooler already installed, as it should), but the previous photos left a lot to be desired...
Oh, and the convertible seems to look nice. The 350 never really worked for me in convertible form. Bummer about the color. Covered in guano, I might say...

I hope it looks better the previous. It just looked off. This might be the last 300+hp one for a while, go CAFE!, :-(
