Nissan 370Z Roadster to make UK debut at Goodwood

17 September 2009 - Nissan's new 370Z Roadster will make its UK public debut at the Goodwood Revival this weekend (18-20 September). Eager buyers get the chance to see the Roadster that brings all of the 370Z's appeal to the convertible market in advance of its March 2010 UK on sale date. New model will be on display at the ever-popular Goodwood Revival event alongside the mighty GT-R, the classic 240Z and the first Skyline GT-R.

In keeping with the West Sussex event's historical theme, the 370Z Roadster will see the light of day in Britain for the first time alongside some of Nissan's most recognisable performance models of the past. In addition to the 21st century crowd pulling power of the latest GT-R supercar, the legendary 240Z will provide an insight into the Z-car bloodline while the original Skyline (the KPGC10) will also be on display.

Buyers will have a choice of two new transmissions: a close-ratio 6-speed manual or a 7-speed automatic. Like the 370Z coupe, the manual Roadster will be available with SynchroRev Match which automatically controls and adjusts engine speed when shifting to the exact speed of the next gear position, effectively blipping the throttle for the smoothest possible changes.

Paul Willcox, MD of Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd comments: "The famous Goodwood Revival gives us the perfect stage to show the 370Z Roadster off to the public for the first time. Nissan has a strong and lengthy performance car heritage which is what makes our sports models so special today. We can't wait to get the Roadster on sale in Britain and this gives potential buyers a sneak preview".

Exact prices and UK specifications for the 370Z Roadster will be announced closer to its on sale date in March 2010.
