Nissan has unveiled the ultimate vehicle for this week’s cold snap - a sports car fitted with skis and snow tracks.

When it comes to tarmac, the Nissan 370Z Roadster is a formidable convertible which is capable of doing 0-62mph in just 5.5 seconds and hitting a top speed of 155mph.

But until this week the popular sports car wasn’t known for it hardcore off-road ability.

Engineers at Nissan have now transformed a 370Z Roadster into an uncompromising ‘snowmobile’ designed to tackle ski slopes and backwoods trails.
