Like the coupe, the 370Z roadster moves to a heavily revised platform with a shortened wheelbase and improved rigidity. To make up for the lost structural properties of a fixed roof, the roadster features beefed up reinforcements in the A-pillars and side sills.
Further separating the 370Z roadster from the coupe is a shortened windshield and a rounded rear deck. The soft top gets a larger glass rear window. Top operation takes roughly 20 seconds to open or close. With the top down, a redesigned wind deflector between the seat headrests reduces the amount of wind that penetrates the cabin.
Powertrain options carry over from the coupe, with a 3.7-liter V6 with 332 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque connected to either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed automatic transmission. The SynchroRev Match system is available for manual-equipped models.
Crisper handling comes courtesy of the new front double-wishbone suspension and stiffened four-link rear system with lightened aluminum arms. Eighteen-inch aluminum wheels with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires are standard, while 19-inch Rays forged rims are optional.
