Taking the reigns from the 370Z, the new sports car, simply named Z, features design that nods to the legendary Z Cars of the past with contemporary flair. The iconic headlights and tail lights, along with the 240z-inspired grille, create an unmistakable retro-futuristic presence on the road. Under the hood lies a powerful 3.0L turbo engine delivering 400-hp and 475-Nm of torque.

The new sports car has been meticulously crafted to deliver a well-rounded driving experience with its enhanced suspension system and upgraded brakes. It also comes with new technology such as a rear view monitor, a digital dashboard when in Sport Mode and front and rear sonar sensors.

As expected, the all-new Z is equipped the full suite of Nissan Intelligent Mobility features, including new additions such as Forward Crash Warning, Intelligent Cruise Control, Anti-lock Braking System & Traction System, an Advanced Airbag System and Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection. These all ensure that the Z is as smart as it is exhilarating, keeping both driver and passengers safe on every journey.

The Z will be offered in two variants: the Premium MT equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, and the Premium AT equipped with a nine-speed automatic transmission with Manual Mode.

The all-new Z will be available for reservation starting on September 21, 2023. It is priced at P3,888,000 pesos and will come in Ikazuchi Yellow, Passion Red, Everest White, Boulder Gray Pearl, Seiran Blue, and Black Diamond Pearl.
