We received word today than Nissan will debut a “revised” version of its 370Z sports car series at the upcoming 2012 Chicago Auto Show via an invitation to a press event that will take place next Thursday.

Unfortunately, the invite does not detail the changes on the 2013 model year 370Z so we don’t know if it’s a full facelift or a minor nip and tuck with very subtle updates here and there.

We’ll remind you that the 370Z, which is marketed as the Fairlady in Japan, was introduced at the LA Auto Show in 2008 succeeding the 350Z.

Along with the 370Z, Nissan will also show the pre-production 2013 Pathfinder, the 2013 GT-R and a specially modified version of the Nissan NV van.

Please join Nissan for an up-close look at some of our newest and innovative products including:

  • The next-gen SUV from Nissan, the all-new 2013 Pathfinder Concept with 3-row seating for seven passengers, intuitive 4-wheel-drive system and dual-panel moonroof;
  • “Godzilla”, the 2013 Nissan GT-R with 545 hp and 463 lb-ft torque;
  • Revised 2013 legendary Nissan 370Z; and
  • Nissan NV Food Truck featuring one of Windy City’s favorite mobile restaurants, The Southern Mac & Cheese.
