Z NISMO Coming Soon Graphic

Nissan’s latest performance car has been announced, and this one’s set to thrill. The Nissan Z NISMO was teased in a short video, driven by three-time Formula Drift champ Chris Forsberg. With more details to come later this summer, we hope to have an arrival date soon. Although we don’t have many concrete details so far, what we’ve seen is sure to excite customers of Rairdon’s Nissan of Auburn.

Coming Soon: 2024 Nissan Z NISMO

The reveal gives a sneak peek into what we can expect from the Z NISMO, including a quick glance at a 3.0L V6 Twin Turbo engine, instantly recognizable NISMO red stripes, and a newly-styled spoiler. While the 2023 model features a similar engine, we expect the Z NISMO to receive a bump in horsepower from the current 400. In the video, we can see Forsberg drift around a racetrack in a unique NISMO-styled body kit. NISMO red seating, red push-button start, and more red details continue throughout, and Nissan says we can also expect “track-tuned performance” from the Z NISMO.

 

What is NISMO?

NISMO is Nissan’s Motorsports division, designed for pure performance and adrenaline-racing action. The NISMO team takes Nissan engineering to the next level by performing additional testing and development beyond that of a typical Nissan. That’s to ensure that all NISMO vehicles reach peak performance, handling every curve with precision and capability. From the inside out, each NISMO vehicle gets put through the ringer, resulting in the fastest, best-handling, and most fun to drive sports cars out there. Even the tires are painstakingly chosen to ensure optimal steering and handling.

The NISMO Z will build on the current 2023 Nissan Z and its legendary performance while adding those special NISMO touches. It’s the result of over 50 years of sportscar engineering and advancements, and possibly the greatest NISMO achievement to date. A driver-focused cockpit with track-tuned suspension and vehicle-speed-sensitive electric power steering makes any driver feel like they’re on the trFack with the likes of Chris Forsberg, except with the NISMO Z, the thrills can be experienced right on the streets of Auburn.
