2026 Nissan Z in Asheville, NC - $54,335

There have been powerful sports cars, ones that come from a rich legacy of high performance and record defying feats of speed and handling and agility. There have also been roadsters. Stylish cars with tops that drop and that help to define what it means to drive around in style to the envy of everyone else on the road.

But there's never been one quite like the Nissan 370Z roadster. This is a sports car that redefines what it means to blend performance and roadster style, colliding in a way that only Nissan can really and truly deliver.

Let's start with the Z itself. The Nissan 370Z is the sixth generation of the company's Z line of cars, the genesis of which can be traced all the way back to Japan in 1969 with the introduction of the Nissan Fairlady Z, which eventually came across the pond to America as the Datsun 240Z. But now, decades later, we have the Nissan 370Z, a car that is more than capable of upholding the rich legacy of speed and performance that birthed it. With a seven-speed transmission and a VQ37VHR 3.7L V6 engine, you've got more than enough under the hood to propel you across the highway in a way that will make others swoon.

But it's not only what's under the hood that matters here. It's also what's on top. Or rather, up top. You have a drop top. And that means you have to go topless. Because there's nothing quite like letting that V6 do its thing once you pop the clutch and let it rip. The wind in your hair, the radio blasting, and all your cares being left in the dust as you zoom off toward nowhere in particular.

The Nissan 370Z roadster: The car you've always wanted.
