Nissan introduces all-new Z NISMO in the Middle East

Nissan has officially introduced the all-new Z NISMO to the Middle East, elevating its storied sports car lineage with a purpose-built model engineered for driving enthusiasts. Representing the pinnacle of the Z lineup, the Z NISMO blends technical refinement with bold design, bringing track-tuned performance to the road.

The all-new Z NISMO elevates the iconic sports car performance with additional horsepower and torque, NISMO-tuned suspension and brakes, revised aerodynamic bodywork, stiffened suspension, and wider wheels with a more aggressive tire compound.

Building on the excitement of the standard Z, interior enhancements include red-anodized engine-start and drive mode buttons, Recaro seats and a leather and Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel with a red marker at the 12 o’clock position.

The all-new Z NISMO builds on a proud legacy spanning more than 50 years, deeply rooted in Nissan’s rich motorsport heritage. Since the debut of the original Nissan Z in 1969, the iconic sports car has captured the imagination of driving enthusiasts globally. NISMO, Nissan’s dedicated motorsport division established in 1984, has consistently pushed the boundaries of performance, technology, and racing excellence. By combining decades of racing innovation and engineering expertise, the all-new Z NISMO proudly upholds this storied tradition, offering enthusiasts a vehicle that embodies pure driving exhilaration and motorsport pedigree.

TRACK-TUNED PERFORMANCE

Powered by a NISMO-tuned 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine producing 420 horsepower and 520 Nm of torque, the all-new Z NISMO delivers a performance gain of +20 hp and +45 Nm over the standard model. Peak torque is delivered from 2,000 through 5,200 rpm, ensuring drivers have strong performance across the rev range. This enhanced output enables a top speed of 279 km/h – 29 km/h faster than its base counterpart – while GT-R-inspired ignition control and an additional intercooler bolster engine cooling for sustained high-speed runs

Paired with a NISMO-calibrated 9-speed automatic transmission, the all-new Z NISMO features shortened clutch stroke and enhanced heat capacity to enable faster shifts. The exclusive SPORT+ mode delivers up to 50% quicker downshifts, refined throttle mapping, and improved steering response, offering sharper acceleration and control under spirited driving.

The chassis has been reinforced for a 2.5% increase in torsional body rigidity. A comprehensive suspension upgrade includes NISMO-tuned bushings, stiffer springs, stiffer stabilizers, and revised dampers for confident cornering. Stiffened engine mounts and Akebono performance brakes with 15” front rotors and high-friction pads ensure responsiveness and reliability.

 

AERODYNAMIC STYLING

The all-new Nissan Z NISMO’s exterior design draws directly from motorsport influences. A NISMO-exclusive front fascia with an aperture honeycomb grille – the thinnest honeycomb mesh of any Nissan production car – improves cooling and reduces drag. Canard winglets, an extended G-Nose splitter, and GT-R NISMO-inspired rear bumper corners manage airflow and increase downforce. A three-piece rear spoiler that extends onto the rear fenders and a rear diffuser stabilizes the sports car at high speeds.

Lightweight 19-inch RAYS forged alloy wheels wrapped in wider 285/35 R19 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT600 tires – a version of which are also used on the GT-R – offer greater grip and lateral control, particularly during high-speed transitions. Red accents line the lower body and mirror housings, while an LED rear fog light inspired by Nissan’s Formula E car visually reinforces its performance DNA.
