Nissan 370Z Roadster Goodwood Revival debut

The Nissan 370Z Roadster gets its first public airing in the UK at the Goodwood Revival.

Nissan is unveiling the 2010 370Z Roadster at the Goodwood Revival this weekend.

Nissan unveiled the 370Z Roadster from a tent in New York in April, but the convertible version of Nissan’s 370Z is not due to hit the roads in the UK until early in 2010. But Nissan has decided to take their latest drop-top off to the Goodwood Revival this weekend to give it its first public airing in the UK.

The new 370Z Roadster gets the same 3.7 litre V6 as its Coupe sibling, with either a short ratio six-speed manual ‘box or a seven-speed auto. The 370Z also comes equipped with Nissan’s ‘SynchroRev Match’ which matches revs to cogs to give you a seamless change.

On the face of it a historic car meeting is not the most obvious place to showcase a new car. So Nissan are bringing along not just an early 240Z to show off the lineage of the Nissan ‘Z’ cars (and it’s arguable that the 240Z is the only really good ‘Z’ Nissan has made) but also an early KPGC10 Skyline GT-R to stand alongside the new GT-R Nissan are also bringing.

The 370Z Roadster is due here in March, and Nissan promises us final specs and UK prices will be available before too long.
