Assam News · October 18, 2009

Last week, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. announced the release of the new Fairlady Z Roadster in Japan.

Based on the latest generation Fairlady Z Coupe, the all-new Fairlady Z Roadster is a two-seat convertible with a fully , automatic power-operated, soft top. Along with providing the exhilaration of open-air driving, Fairlady Z Roadster offers high performance, dynamic design and excellent value.

Like the Fairlady Z Coupe, the new Roadster model features significant improvements in performance, style and technology versus the previous Fairlady Z Roadster design. With its shorter wheelbase, reduced weight and advanced VQ37VHR 3.7-liter engine, it gives remarkably high levels of acceleration and handling, while also providing a comfortable interior with minimum wind buffeting – even with the top open.

The Fairlady Z Roadster’s driving performance is considerably improved, compared to the previous model, through use of a shortened wheelbase, wider track and lighter vehicle weight. The standard 3.7-liter engine, equipped with Nissan’s innovative Variable Valve Event and Lift (VVEL) system, provides quick acceleration response, high power, high torque, improved fuel efficiency and cleaner emissions. A 7-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode and wide gear ratios offers seamless acceleration, along with improved fuel efficiency (versus the previous 5-speed automatic design) and quiet operation during high-speed driving.

The Fairlady Z Roadster is also available with an advanced 6-speed manual transmission with synchronized rev control that regulates the engine speed to the optimum level, matching the driver’s shifting action when changing gears. The Fairlady Z Roadster also includes a number of advanced safety and security systems, including a SRS door-mounted curtain air bag system.

Key highlights of the new Fairlady Z Roadster include:

* Optimal balance of sports car performance and open-top convertible exhilaration.
* Signature Fairlady Z styling with an advanced, fully automatic canvas top.
* Air conditionined seats for added occupant comfort, even on hot days.
* Available advanced technology, including HDD CARWINGS navigation system with enhanced entertainment features and premium Bose audio system.
* Uncompromised Fairlady Z performance.

In addition to the new Roadster, a special Fairlady Z 40th Anniversary version joins the Fairlady Z lineup. Created in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the birth of the original Fairlady Z in October 1969, the limited edition vehicle will be available at Nissan dealers nationwide for one year following the release date.

Based on the Version ST (6MT/7AT), a highest grade of the Fairlady Z coupe, the 40th Anniversary Edition includes specifically-designed real leather seats, memorial engraving on the seat backs, dedicated aluminum wheels, and a 40th anniversary emblem on the rear body.
