In addition to Normal and Sport, Z NISMO adds a new Sport+ drive mode.

Launch control also delivers more aggressive standing-start acceleration. Along with revised engine management software, Z NISMO’s transmission has reduced downshift time by almost half, compared to Z Performance. Compared to the transmission in other Z grades, it has revised clutch packs allowing for faster shifting. Z NISMO exclusively uses a nine-speed automatic transmission that has been enhanced for faster and more dynamic shifting performance, with a particular focus on suitability for track use. Z NISMO also features an enhanced engine oil cooler for extended track performance. The engine’s horsepower enhancements were achieved through a combination of improved cooling, revised electronic wastegate control providing increased turbocharger boost and turbine speed, and an independent ignition spark timing strategy inspired by GT-R NISMO.

Canards at the car’s front corners create vortexes over the front wheels, further benefiting aerodynamic performance. That mesh grille balances the need to reduce drag with permitting cooling air to the engine bay. The new front fascia also features a restyled grille opening with the thinnest honeycomb mesh of any Nissan production car. The front of Z NISMO prominently features a styling element called the “Grand-Nose” or “G-Nose,” which extends farther forward than on other grades and recalls a similar design treatment on the heritage Nissan Fairlady 240ZG. As a result of the changes, Z NISMO produces positive downforce. Pricing will be announced at a later date.Įxterior revisions to Z NISMO were specifically engineered to improve aerodynamic performance on the race track.
