The all-new 2023 Nissan Z sports car has the classic long, sloped hood and wide rear flanks that evoke the early versions of this storied nameplate. The rear-drive Z has a 400-horsepower, 3.0-liter turbocharged twin-turbo V6, marking a significant 50+ hp increase over the previous 370Z's output. That fiery powerplant can be paired with a choice of six-speed manual or nine-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Nissan is keeping it simple by making the available active safety features standard on all trims. This includes FCW, AEB with pedestrian detection, BSW, RCTW, and lane departure warning. In 2024, a 420-horsepower NISMO trim was added. 2026 brought a new Heritage Edition, which paid homage to the fourth-generation Z sports car, the 300ZX Z32 , with retro-inspired visual touches.
