2023 Nissan Z first view
Following last year’s Z Proto concept, Nissan has now unveiled a production version. Unlike its predecessor – the 370Z – the new Z has a numberless name.
That’s probably because the old car’s 3.7-litre naturally-aspirated V6 engine has been replaced by a 3.0-litre V6 unit with twin turbochargers. Using 300Z instead would have had a certain logic, but Nissan’s marketing department probably wanted to avoid any customer confusion.
405 PS (400 bhp / 298 kW) plus 475 Nm (350 lb-ft) of peak torque is delivered via either a six-speed manual gearbox or a nine-speed automatic transmission. However, performance and efficiency figures have yet to be released.
At launch, there’ll be a choice of three trim grades. The entry-level Sport features LED headlights, 18” alloy wheels, a configurable 12.3” TFT instrument display, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane Departure Warning. The infotainment system (compatible with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and Siri Eyes Free) combines an 8” touchscreen and six audio speakers.
Moving up to the Performance variant adds 19” Rays lightweight forged alloys, Bridgestone Potenza S007 tyres, larger-diameter brake discs, stronger brake calipers, recalibrated suspension settings and extra spoilers. The interior gains more supportive heated seats, a 9” touchscreen, built-in satellite navigation, a WiFi hotspot, NissanConnect Sevices telematics, and eight Bose speakers.
Completing the line-up is the Proto Spec. Based on the Performance and limited to just 240 units, this special edition is distinguished by bronze-coloured rims, yellow brake calipers, yellow-accented black leather upholstery, and part-suede door coverings.
In the United States, sales are due to begin during spring 2022. Unfortunately, Nissan won’t be offering the Z in Europe, thanks to stricter emissions regulations and a perceived lack of demand.
