2024 Nissan Z Nismo gets 420bhp engine

The Nissan upgrade package starts with an aerodynamic front end that makes the Z Nismo produce «positive downforce» due to a number of new components. These include a revised front bumper and splitter known as the «Grand-Nose» or «G-Nose«, which extends further forward and takes inspiration from the Faily 240ZG design.

The changes continue on the side, where there are new sills to reduce drag, as well as a more pronounced spoiler that extends to the rear fenders. Nissan engineers have also revised the rear bumper to reduce drag. A set of unique 19-inch Rays wheels finished in high-gloss black was also designed for the car. Buyers will be able to order the car in Black Diamond Pearl, Brilliant Silver, Passion Red TriCoat, Everest White Pearl, TriCoast and Stealth Grey.

As expected, Nissan also implemented updates to improve the car's handling. For example, there are new anti-roll bars, a stiffer spring and larger, retuned dampers. A set of new Dunlop SP Sport MAXX GT600 tires are also standard and measures 285/35 at the rear axle, making  10 mm mm wider than normal Z Performance< /strong>. The aforementioned 19″ wheels are 10″ wide at the front and 10.5″ at the rear, but slightly lighter than the standard Z wheels. floor, as well as stiffer front and rear suspension bushings. The steering rack also has a stiffer mounting sleeve.

For the engine, Nissanimproved cooling for the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6, and also revised the electronic wastegate control to increase turbocharger boost and turbine speed. The engine develops 420 hp, which is 20 hp. more than standard model. An improved engine oil cooler is also standard.

That's not all good news, though. Rumor has it that Nissandesigned the Z Nismo exclusively to use the nine-speed automatic transmission, which means that the standard model's six-speed manual transmission will not be supplied. Rounding out the changes made to the Nissan Z Nismo, red engine start/stop and drive mode select buttons, revised graphics for the digital instrument cluster, Recaro seats trimmed in leather and Alcantara, and a new steering wheel. wheel, also covered in leather and alcantara.
