The Midwest got walloped by a winter storm that deposited snowfall accumulations of up to 15 inches. One particular area that got hit hard was Chicago, which was also where the 2018 Chicago Auto Show was going on this week. Nissan was not deterred by the heavy snow and actually embraced it. Nissan transformed their 2018 370Z Concept Roadster into the 370Zki snowmobile to not only brave the heavy snowfall, but also play in the white powder.
Nissan unveiled the 370Zki at the 2018 Chicago Auto Show where the hardcore snowmobile frolicked in the powdery stuff. The 370Zki was fitted with a 3.5-inch lift kit, 56-inch front skis, and the Dominator tracks on the rear-drive axle. A protective front skid plate was also installed to protect the custom-mounted engine from damage while it shredded on the slopes. Nissan also added a custom Icon Image Graphics wrap and yellow headlights that simulate the look of ski goggles.
Sadly, the 2018 Nissan 370Zki is not available for sale and is only a promotional model for the Chicago Auto Show. You still have hope that Nissan will make the 332-horsepower V-6 370Z concept roadster into a reality, but it won’t do that well during a snow storm.
