Nothing like injecting a bit of Nismo to keep things going – production for the domestic market may have ceased, but as the Nissan 370Z Nismo Roadster Concept shows, there’s plenty of life left in that particular open-top Z-car. The car, which is premiering in Chicago, is a one-off design study created to gauge market interest in a factory Z Roadster given the Nismo treatment.
The exterior gets dressed with GT-R-inspired aerodynamic body pieces, and the front end features hyper LED DRLs, black headlight bezels and a Nismo emblem. Red accents too, which also find their way on to the sides of the car and side mirror covers.
The rear, meanwhile, is highlighted by a custom carbon-fiber rear spoiler created exclusively for the concept, which rides on 19-inch Nismo super-lightweight forged aluminium-alloy wheels made by RAYS, The wheels are wrapped with staggered Bridgestone Potenza S001 245/40 front and 285/35 rear rubbers.
The interior features custom red stitching and Nismo logos on the Recaro seats, an Alcantara leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel and a Nismo red tachometer.
Mechanical revisions are similar to that seen on the 370Z Nismo coupe introduced for that market last year – suspension mods, which includes special springs and stabiliser bars, sport brakes and a viscous limited-slip differential (VLSD) with a shorter final drive ratio. Also on, a Nismo-branded strut brace under the hood and a red engine cover.
Likewise the output of the tuned 3.7 litre V6, which is 350 hp and 375 Nm, and the choice of transmission – as with the coupe, a seven-speed auto with downshift rev matching, adaptive shift control and manual shift mode with paddle shifters makes its way on here.

nobody would want it, it has an automatic. fail.
Stupid. GTR is automatic too, so does Porsche 911, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLarren…all automatic.

i think the coupe would be more for the manual drivers while the convertibles are more for the california or florida uncles that want to chill….with an automatic….
