Customers waiting for Nissan's open 370Z will soon be satisfied. The order book for the new Roadster is now open with the first deliveries scheduled for 1st March.

We've already had some time behind the wheel (read our first drive of the 370Z Roadster here), sampling the 326bhp V6 and rear-wheel drive chassis. For 2010 both Roadster and coupé receive improvements; the engine is now Euro 5 compliant with no loss of power, while Uphill Start Support and Connect Premium navigation and entertainment are options with the GT Pack.

Roadster prices start at £29,900, which is £1,900 more than the coupé. Go for the GT Pack with satnav and seven-speed automatic transmission and the price increases to £36,150.
