Nissan Motors designed their new generation model named 2011 Nissan 370Z Roadster. New roadster is a seductive styling, legendary Z performance, the most refinement of any Z convertible ever offered and one other thing – an exhilarating connection to the air, wind and environment.

Features:
The new 370Z Roadster gains 26 horsepower and 2 pound-feet of torque over the previous model. It delivers 332 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 270 pound-feet of torque at 5,200 rpm, compared with the previous 3.5-liter V6′s 306 horsepower at 6,800 rpm and 268 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 rpm.

The car is offered with a choice of two new transmissions: a close-ratio six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic. The six-speed manual is available with SynchroRev Match, which allows drivers of any skill level to experience expert-like gear shifts. The SynchroRev Match function automatically controls and adjusts engine speed when shifting to the exact speed of the next gear position, essentially blipping the throttle to smooth out any up/down shifts.

The 370Z Roadster is offered in eight exterior colors in the GCC: Vibrant Red, Pearl White, Magnetic Black, Brilliant Silver, Blade Silver, Monterey Blue, Grey Metallic and Black Rose. The Z Roadster’s interior is completely driver-centric, with its three-layer design grouping items by how a driver sees information, operates the controls and is held in place – so drivers feel completely connected and engaged whenever and wherever they drive, top up or down.
