The 2024 Nissan Z debuts as the third-generation Z and continues the thrilling racetrack-inspired bloodline of the NISMO line. This competitive sports car has an athletic build and world-class handling that is right at home on the track or racing down the freeway. Learn everything you need to know about this iconic sports car before you embrace the speedster in your heart.
1. Powerful Performance
The entry-level Z is the Sport trim, which has a powerful 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine. This hefty powertrain can generate 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, which gives the Z an incredible throttle as you zoom down the road. The twin turbochargers in the engine come with turbine speed sensors, a water-cooled intercooler system, and electronic wastegate actuators to keep everything running smoothly.
The Sport trim has a standard RWD drivetrain with an electronic drive-by-wire throttle, a six-speed manual transmission, and an EXEDY high-performance clutch. Drivers can opt for a nine-speed automatic transmission with a manual shift mode and downshift rev matching. The NISMO trim with a nine-speed automatic transmission is accented with GT-R-inspired paddle shifters on the steering wheel for easier hands-on shifting.
2. Stellar Mechanical Features
The Sport trim with a nine-speed automatic transmission comes with a special launch control feature with no-lift shift. Launch control enhances the acceleration of the engine by reducing wheel spin, so drivers can enjoy a buttery smooth driving experience. The NISMO nine-speed automatic trim has Akebono performance brakes to maximize braking power so you can stop the Z on a dime.
3. Impressive Infotainment
The base Sport trim has an expansive 12.3-inch digital dashboard behind the steering wheel with fully digital gauges so you can easily track the condition of the engine as you drive. A three-bay gauge cluster gives you detailed information about turbo turbine speed, voltmeter, and turboboost.
This trim also comes with an eight-inch NissanConnect touchscreen for multimedia controls. The six-speed manual has a six-speaker audio system, while the NISMO trim has an eight-speaker Bose audio system with dual subwoofers. App integration for Apple CarPlay and compatibility for Android Auto is standard for the Sport trim, along with Bluetooth streaming audio for compatible devices.
4. Sporty Appearance
The base trim has several sporty details in the cabin, such as a leather-wrapped shift knob, leather-wrapped parking brake, and a Z-logo leather-wrapped steering wheel. The higher NISMO trim has all the best sporty appointments with standard features like Recaro leather seating, an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, and stylish aluminum pedals.
