The Nissan 370Z Nismo Roadster
concept made its world debut at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show being held in the
United States from February 12 to 22, 2015. The line-up of Nismo production
models for 2015 includes the GT-R Nismo, 370Z Nismo, Juke Nismo and Juke Nismo RS.
As for the Nissan 370Z Nismo Roadster
Concept, this custom vehicle combines
the long list of 370Z Nismo Coupe performance equipment with a modified 370Z
Roadster body and interior.
"The idea of adding Nismo
levels of look, feel and performance to a Nissan 370Z Roadster is one that
we've been considering for a long time," said Pierre Loing, vice
president, Product Planning, Nissan North America, Inc. "The creation of
the Nissan 370Z Nismo Roadster Concept brings that idea to life and lets us
judge consumer reaction - which we predict is going to be outstanding," he
added
The concept car has
GT-R-inspired functional and fully integrated aerodynamic body pieces. In
front, the deep front fascia with Hyper LED Daytime Running Lights, black
headlight bezels, Nismo emblem and signature Nismo red stripe accents set the
tone.
On the sides of the vehicle,
the Nismo red accents and red side view mirror covers continue the Nismo theme,
adding a touch of flair to the dramatic top-down profile. In the middle of the
vehicle, the fixed headrest bars are leather-wrapped with red accents. The rear
is highlighted by a custom carbon-fibre rear spoiler created exclusively use on
the 370Z Nismo Roadster Concept.
The convertible top itself,
though it is expected to be rare that it is in the closed position, is a cloth
power-folding roof with fabric inner liner design. It includes a single action
top operation with automatic roof lock, steel tonneau cover and fixed glass
wind deflector - just like every 2015 Nissan 370Z Roadster.
