350Z Convertible First Official Photo



No laurel-resting around the Nissan shop: Less than a year after its 350Z coupe hit the market, Z buyers get an open-top option. The convertible Z, called the 350Z Roadster, debuts at the New York auto show in April and arrives in showrooms this summer.

The vehicle features a power-operated cloth top with glass rear window. Price for the drop-top version wasn't immediately available. The hardtop version is priced beginning at around $27,000.

Looks better than the coupe, with the top down anyway.

huh...I don't like it. The rear looks like it's missing something.

I would've preferred it if Nissan made a T-Top model a la old 300Z

I hate the way soft tops look with the top up. But it does look sweet with the top down.

Who knows, maybe there will be an optional hardtop.....but you're not going to find an electric folding hardtop in an under $30k vert (base price)- at least not by next year.

You can almost have 3 Z verts for 1 SL500, just to put it in perspective.

Good question, though I doubt that right now. Of course the 330Cic is out there and if that is who they are targeting, then it does make sense. We'll see.

I am pretty sure the my 6 spd S will run with the 350z verts since they will be heavier.

Actually now I hear more rumors (almost confirmation) of a G35 Ragtop. And people that supposedly seen it, sound very happy. People are calling for anyone interested to go put money down at their Infinity dealer.

Re: G35 convertible - I was told by an Infiniti salesman that there "absolutely" wouldn't be a drop-top G35 as it wouldn't fit into Infiniti's "image".

Not sure what that "image" is, but I imagine that it might undergo a little modification to include a convertible if Nissan sells a pile of them.

i dig it, retractable hardtop would be hot, but i don't think the additional 10k$ (i'm just guessing) option would work for this car

I hate the handles, but I got my Z in Chrome Silver which almost matches the color of the handles, which eliminates that problem

What image? Besides giant depreciation and low re-sale? They need to keep bringing the new products.

I want to see how that cheap interior holds up in the sun. They need to cover that interior as much as possible. Kia and Hyandai owners now how something to make fun off.

No soft top convertable looks good with their top up. The primary concern is top down styling. I don't think it looks any worse up than any other vert. But top down looks pretty hot. (Still like the coupes better)
