Nissan tests reaction to 370Z Nismo roadster
CHICAGO -- One by one, Nissan has gone through its lineup looking for candidates for the Nismo performance makeover. Now it is testing for yet another -- the 370Z roadster.
Nissan is showing off a Nismo concept version at the Chicago Auto Show, meaning it will offer it if it can draw enough enthusiasm for the idea.
The direct--from-the-factory Nismo treatment includes engine, suspension, exterior and interior modifications. There's a body kit, custom carbon-fiber rear spoiler and Recaro seats.
"While the 370Z Nismo Roadster Concept is just a performance study at this point, you can see its potential as a production model," saysFred Diaz, a Nissan senior vice president, in a statement.
He says it has all the performance equipment from the coupe version of the 370Z, but that the Nismo changes -- both inside and out -- are readily apparent.
