How does the 2024 Nissan Z drive?
Our expert take on Nissan Z drivability.
For detailed driving impressions, read our full review here.
The 2023 Nissan Z is powered by Infiniti’s 3.0-litre twin-turbo DOHC V6 (VR30DDTT). It’s a fuel-injected, four-valve-per-cylinder alloy engine which produces 298kW (up 22 per cent on 370Z), and 475Nm of torque (up 112Nm on 370Z).
The manual weighs 1600kg (kerb) while the automatic carries a 33kg weight penalty. Put all of those figures together and it adds up to a power-to-weight improvement of around 13 per cent over the Nissan 370Z.
While the nine-speed automatic is borrowed from Nissan vehicles like the Frontier and Pathfinder, the six-speed manual comes from the 370Z but is now equipped with a high-performance clutch supplied by Japanese racing specialist Exedy, and is linked to the rear wheels with a carbon-fibre composite driveshaft.
Rev-matching is available with a press of a button on the centre console, while automatic models feature aluminium paddle shifters and two different drive modes: Standard and Sport.
In Sport, the automatic Z slightly modifies its steering profile while also gaining active sound enhancement (via the speakers), and the traction control gives the driver a little more leeway to play with. In manual cars, the traction control is either on or off.
2024 Nissan Z Warranty
