Nissan Z sports car gets track-ready NISMO variant

KUALA LUMPUR: Two years after the debut of the regular Z, Nissan has unveiled its track-focused Nismo variant, positioned above the Z Performance in the sports car lineup. The Z Nismo trim benefits from a more powerful engine, enhanced suspension and braking systems, and visual tweaks.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What powers the all-new 2024 Nissan Z Nismo?

    The 2024 Nissan Z Nismo is powered by an upgraded version of the 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged petrol V6 engine generating a maximum power of 420 hp and a peak torque of 521 Nm.
  • What are the other performance upgrades?

    The 2024 Nissan Z Nismo gets a stiffened chassis, NISMO-enhanced brakes, suspension, body rigidity and more Dunlop SP SPORT MAXX GT600 tyres.
  • The all-new 2024 Nissan Z Nismo is powered by an upgraded version of the 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged petrol V6 engine available on the standard car. Here, the engine generates a maximum power of 420 hp and a peak torque of 521 Nm, representing a hike of 20 hp and 46 Nm.

    The track-ready Z Nismo exclusively comes equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission offering a more dynamic shifting performance. It has reduced downshift time by almost half, as compared to the Z Performance trim. The launch control also offers more aggressive standing-start acceleration. Apart from Normal and Sport, the Nismo trim also gets a new Sport+ drive mode. 

    Further adding to the performance are the following revisions -

    • A stiffened chassis offering a torsional rigidity increase of 2.5% compared to the standard grades
    • Enhanced suspension with stiffer springs, re-tuned and bigger dampers, and new anti-roll bars
    • NISMO-specific, lightweight, gloss black RAYS 19-inch wheels wrapped with Dunlop SP SPORT MAXX GT600 tyres
    • Track-enhanced brake system with larger rotors and more performance-focused brake pad compound

    In terms of visual tweaks, the car gets a styling element called the “Grand-Nose” on the front reminiscent of the heritage Nissan Fairlady 240ZG. Also new is a restyled grille with the thinnest honeycomb mesh ever, canards at the front corners, a wider rear spoiler, reshaped rear bumper, and redesigned side sills, all of which enhance the car’s aerodynamic performance on the race track. 

    The high-performance variant also sets itself apart with subtle red accents running along the lower edge of the front and rear fascia.

    Nissan offers the Z Nismo in five colours - Black Diamond Pearl, Passion Red TriCoat, Brilliant Silver, Everest White Pearl TriCoat, and NISMO-exclusive Stealth Grey.

    The interior enhancements comprise red-anodized engine-start and drive mode buttons, manual-adjustable Recaro seats, and a leather and Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel featuring a red marker at the 12 o’clock position. The new Z trim also gets Amazon Alexa Built-in connectivity.

    The 2024 Nissan Z Nismo is expected to hit the US roads in the fourth quarter of the year.
