Post 2009 Nissan 370Z convertible to debut at New York Auto Show

01-26-2009 08:32 PM

Filed under: , ,



Click above for a high-res gallery of the 2009 Nissan 370Z


The 2009 Nissan 370Z has already proven itself as one of the best performance bargains on the market, but for those who crave the wind-in-your-hair experience that only a drop-top can deliver, a convertible variant is right around the corner. Nissan will unveil the 370Z convertible at the New York Auto Show on April 8th, and according to a Nissan designer we spoke to at the 370Z's launch, it's going to look remarkably better than its predecessor.

The awkward roof-line and misshapen rear will be dispatched in favor of a more fluid canvas roof, because unlike the 350Z, the 370 was designed from the onset as a convertible. As previously reported, Nissan decided early on that a retractable hard-top was out of the question, primarily due to packaging and weight constraints - not to mention the risk of cannibalizing Infiniti G37 cabrio sales. The 3.7-liter V6 will carry over, along with the choice of a manual or automatic gearbox and Base or Touring trims. Expect a full report from the NY show floor in a few months time.

Fastback bodies always look goofy with convertible tops. When they're down, they're ok. But when they're up, it just kills the lines.

me neither, that is an interesting bit. I just don't want to get false hope over it, but certainly you can't get worse than the Z33 convertible, right?

Never been a fan of verts. So I have no high hopes for the Z35 vert. The coupe really does it for me though. Sexy as fuck

dude, SHUT UP!

you're gonna hurt drift freaq's feelings!

apparently you missed the memo that Nissan gave us pure love in the 350z and then did one better with the 370z. You're just mazda lover, get out of here!

doesnt look bad. but neither did the 350Z until the top was up. I think thats going to be the deal breaker with this car.
