2018 Nissan Z Roadster

2018 Nissan Z Roadster
The 2018 Nissan 370Z Roadster offers an unmatched balance of dynamic performance, sculptured styling, innovative technology and exceptional value – matched with the exhilaration of pure open-air motoring. It is offered in three trim levels: 370Z Roadster, 370Z Touring Roadster and 370Z Touring Sport Roadster.

For 2018, the 370Z Roaster adds a number of significant enhancements – starting with a revised exterior that includes dark headlight treatment, dark tinted rear combination lights, new blackout rear fascia and new available 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheel design that is designed to reduce vibration by improving wheel balance.

Under the skin, the legendary 370Z driving experience has been enhanced through optimized acceleration and torque profile tuning. Without changing the engine's internal structure or components, engine performance is improved through careful refinement of Accelerator Pedal Opening (APO) and Throttle Valve Opening (TVO) angles. Manual transmission-equipped 370Z models (limited availability) feature new motorsports-inspired EXEDY® high-performance clutch.

Also, the new model year adds a bold new, vibrant exterior color – Passion Red. The Passion Red paint process uses a high brightness aluminum pigment in the base coat and Nano-pigment tinted clear coat to give it a vivid, jewel-like red color that looks different depending on the viewing angle. Other 2018 enhancements include two additional speakers for the base 370Z Roaster audio system.

The 370Z Roadster's convertible top features an easy, single-action open-close operation. The interior is completely driver-centric, with its three-layer design grouping items by how a driver sees information, operates the controls and is held in place – so drivers feel completely connected and engaged.

The 2018 370Z Roadster's outstanding performance starts with a 332-horsepower 3.7-liter DOHC V6 engine with Variable Valve Event and Lift Control (VVEL), matched with a choice of electronically controlled 7-speed automatic transmission with Downshift Rev Matching (DRM) and standard paddle shifters or a 6-speed close-ratio manual transmission with available SynchroRev Match®. Responsive handling is provided by a refined 4-wheel independent suspension.

The top-of-the-line 370Z Touring Sport Roadster includes Viscous Limited-Slip Differential, SynchroRev Match® (manual transmission only), 19-inch RAYS® super lightweight forged aluminum-alloy wheels and Nissan Sport Brakes.
