From the mechanical limited-slip differential, to the 9-speed automatic transmission, various new features of the Nissan Z ensure that you always stay up to speed.
3.0-LITRE TWIN-TURBO
3.0-LITRE TWIN-TURBO
At the heart of the Z is a 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbocharged 24-valve engine outputting 298kW of power and 475Nm of torque. An aluminium-alloy block and heads keep things light, while a water-cooled intercooler helps keep things cool.
MECHANICAL LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
MECHANICAL LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
A new mechanical limited-slip differential helps distribute power to the driven wheel with the best grip, helping you power out of corners.
LAUNCH CONTROL
LAUNCH CONTROL
The first on any Z – available launch control helps eliminate wheel spin and hop, by holding the engine at a pre-set rpm and modulates power as you pull away to give you the fastest, most consistent acceleration every time.
6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION
In the Nissan Z, new first- and second-gear synchros are designed to help handle the powerful twin-turbo engine. Enhancing the connection, the shift mechanism has been redesigned to give a more direct, positive feeling.
9-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The one transmission that can tempt manual drivers. The Z features a new 9-speed automatic with shift-by-wire technology activated by a unique palm-shaped controller.
