Boasting “Positive Downforce” With Aero Enhancements
Nissan ‘s suite of upgrades for the 2024 Z Nismo starts with a focus on aerodynamics. The car proudly produces “positive downforce” thanks to a series of new components. The revised front bumper and splitter package, known as the ‘Grand-Nose’ or ‘G-Nose,’ takes design cues from the legendary Fairlady 240ZG. Canards at each corner of the bumper create vortexes over the front wheels, further enhancing aerodynamic performance.
Striking Looks and New Color Options
Continuing along the sides, new sills and a pronounced lip spoiler reduce drag and lift, while the rear bumper has been redesigned for improved airflow. Unique 19-inch Rays wheels in gloss black add to the car’s captivating appearance. Buyers can choose from a range of captivating colors, including Black Diamond Pearl, Brilliant Silver, Passion Red TriCoat, Everest White Pearl TriCoat, and Stealth Grey.
Nismo Handling Tweaks
Nissan has made significant upgrades to the Z Nismo’s handling. New stabilizer bars, stiffer spring rate, and larger, retuned dampers provide a thrilling driving experience. The car comes equipped with new Dunlop SP Sport MAXX GT600 tires, providing better grip with a wider rear axle. Additional bracing and stiffer suspension bushings further boost the car’s performance, while the steering rack features a stiffer mounting bushing for improved handling.
Updated Engine
Under the hood, the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine receives cooling improvements and revised electronic wastegate control. These enhancements result in an impressive 420 hp and 384 lb-ft of torque, a notable increase over the standard model. The Z Nismo also comes with an improved engine oil cooler.
Transmission Update: Exclusively Automatic
Nissan has decided to offer the Z Nismo exclusively with a nine-speed automatic transmission, omitting the option for a manual transmission. The nine-speed auto has been fine-tuned for performance, with reduced downshift times by almost 50%. It also features a launch control system and a Sport+ drive mode with a racetrack-tuned shift program.
Recaro Seats and Leather-Alcantara Accents
Inside the cabin, the Z Nismo boasts red engine start/stop and drive mode buttons, a revamped digital instrument cluster, and luxurious Recaro seats trimmed in leather and Alcantara. The new leather and Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel add to the premium feel of the interior.
