The Chicago Auto Show will play host to, among
others, the Nissan 370Zki (pronounced ‘ski’) concept car, and despite the
vehicle’s own conspicuous absence in the teaser video shown, it does seem to be
capable of kicking up some snow.
The 370Zki concept is based on
the Nissan 370Z, and though no technical details were present in this teaser
footage, Carscoops suggests that the 370Zki could be a tracked vehicle, owing
to its name. Beyond that, the 370Zki’s snow-traversing specification and
appearance is left mostly to one’s imagination.
In 2018-model year guise, the base production 370Z
continues to be powered by a 3.7 litre naturally aspirated V6 engine, producing
332 hp and 366 Nm of torque. Transmission is to the rear wheels, via either a
six-speed manual with downshift rev-matching or a seven-speed automatic. The
sportier, 350 hp Nismo version also continues to soldier on for this model
year.
