2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster coming to 2009 NY Auto Show

[socialomar]

Recently InsideLine was lucky enough to test drive the new 2009 Nissan 370Z that we won’t get to see until the 2008 LA Auto Show. Now the insiders at Edmunds are providing the first look at the 2010 Nissan 370Z Roadster.

At first we thought these were real spy shots but upon closer inspection (or more like paying attention to InsideLine’s fine print) we learned that these are just photo illustrations as to what the next-generation 370Z Roadster will look like.

Power for the Nissan 370Z Roadster will also come from the 3.7L engine from the G37 coupe. It will make 330-hp with a maximum torque of 270 lb-ft of torque. Power will be transferred to the wheels from a 7-speed automatic transmission with an available 6-speed manual.

now put the top up and take that same picture... thats what i don't like about them. But yeah with the top down they are nice. Still looks waaayyy better with a hard top. and it is lighter. Infiniti's bringing out a hard top convertible version of their G37 and also bringing out G37 sedan.

yea i heard about the 37 having an available convertible. I love convertibles except with the top up...now if the Z came with a hard top convertible i would be sold!

Edmunds = FAIL.

Misleading headlines FTL.

On the bright side, the stupid quarter lights are forced to change with the advent of toplessness...

The only thing I like about the 370 is that it's smaller.

As for convertibles, meh. Whenever I see one, I can't help but think about how it would be better in every way were it a coupe, though oddly applying reverse logic, it turns out I never have pined for a hardtop S2000 or Miata so...

It will be 350hp and probably 300+ ft/lbs... (not sure on the torque yet).
