2011 Nissan 370Z Roadster

Starting with the design of the Nissan 370Z Roadster, at the same time began working on the coupe, Nissan designers have been able to offer top version has a silhouette sophisticated with a better, more natural integration of the bell in the overall design.

The significant result echoes the character "Z" with a blend of sweeping curves and short overhangs aggressive, while the shape of the roof itself flows more naturally in the back of the car when the roof is in place.

When low, limiting what a color cover hard tonneau body, which also helps reduce wind turbulence at high speed, allowing the occupants of the "twin cockpit" to enjoy the sounds and sensations of automotive performance air open.

Other design elements seen in the coupe were transferred to the Nissan 370Z Roadster. These include the distinctive boomerang LED rear lights and arrow, while well-known characteristics of "Z" as the vertical door handles, dual exhaust pipes and badges "Z" on the side repeaters are also present.

Inside, the driver-focused cockpit also has many features now synonymous with the Z button as a starting point, the floor-hinged accelerator pedal, the speedometer in the center and three hooded separate spheres - which now includes indicator oil temperature - sitting in the middle at the top of the dashboard and tilted towards the driver.

The roof of the Nissan 370Z Roadster is fully automatic, with no obligation to manually lock it in place. The roof can be lowered to walking speed and can also be operated from outside the car by pressing the lock holder for three seconds. It takes only 20 seconds for the roof is raised and locked in place or lowered out of sight under the barrel.

The soft top has a smooth lining that covers the structure and reducing noise levels, while the system uses a hydraulic pump which is again quiet operation electric motor instead of the previously used.

Average speeds are higher in Europe than anywhere else in the world. We also have some of the most difficult routes in the world ... and some of the poorest areas of the road.

It is a combination of problems to enjoy the platform for the engineers at Nissan Technical Centre Europe (NTCE). Fine Tuning the Nissan 370Z chassis - double side arms and rear multi-link - suitable for European tastes, have focused on the panels that need to be to increase the comfort and handling.

The changes provide a significantly better result of the spin of the wheel vertical uniform on all surfaces and to improve the comfort of highway / freeway surfaces. In addition, high-speed stability has been improved for better body control, while road noise is more isolated from changes to the platform thanks to the insulation.

Advanced seven-speed automatic transmission option for now is the condition of the snow. When activated, the car from second gear to avoid the first shot. The system also controls the speed of the engine at low speeds to prevent wheel spin on ice or snow.

Additions to equipment levels include the arrival of a rear parking camera as part of Nissan Connect option premium satellite navigation and the standard installation of a system for monitoring tire pressure. The latter is integrated into the onboard computer screen and operates a warning light, tire pressure decreases.

In all other aspects, such as the Nissan 370Z Coupe Nissan 370Z Roadster and is just as exciting and stylish as the cars started two years ago.

Styling

After a breakthrough that can be traced all the way back to the 240Z in 40 years, the 370Z is the style of a classic sports cars available, with a long bonnet, compact cabinet overhangs, short and a truncated rear.

Nissan 370Z measures 4245mm from bumper to bumper and is based on a wheelbase of 2550mm, just 100mm shorter than its predecessor. At 1315mm high, it is less than 10 mm, while it is larger than 30 mm to 1845mm. To ensure the lower roof line does not interfere with sitting height was also lowered, resulting in a low center of gravity.

At the same time, the body's torsional rigidity has increased by 30 percent compared to the 350Z, especially in the front bar, where a brace was mounted on top of the turrets of the suspension. The extensive use of aluminum - which is now used for doors and tailgate and hood - plus other weight saving measures have been more than 32 kg dressed in place of the mass of the vehicle Despite the addition of more safety, environmental equipment and luxury.

Engine and transmission

In the heart of the Nissan 370Z is the engine of 3.7 liter V6 exceptional. The development of the power unit than the 350Z, all-alloy 24-valve dual overhead cams, not only develops more power and torque, but also more responsive, more refined and fuel efficient.

Adding VVEL (Variable Valve Event and Lift) technology can offer electrifying performance, the engine develops 328 hp and an impressive 366 nm torque. It is mated to a short throw six-speed manual, sports a seven-speed automatic transmission.

When the S-mode, the manual features Nissan Rev Synchro control for a perfect combination of speed when the driver is changing, to produce the perfect heel and toe "changes every time.

Sensors on the clutch and the shifter will monitor the actions of the driver to blip the throttle and hold down the shift key constant engine speed when changing up. As the sensors detect the movement of clutch pedal, the CRS began coming into operation when the shift lever is moved. By combining this information to the vehicle speed to the CBC, the driver slowed for a corner or change through the box. "

Climbing Rev Matching is a feature of the automatic transmission, too, that adaptive control has also learned that changing driving patterns change and adjust accordingly.
