<\/p>\nA hotter version of the new Nissan Z will be on sale later this year. The 2024 Z Nismo debuted in July, giving the redesigned coupe more power and upgraded styling. A new video shows the car on the road in all its glory.<\/p>\n
The video provides a brief walkaround of the new Nissan Z Nismo, showing off all the fresh design details before the pre-production model hits the road. We have seen the new Nismo in motion before, but this one doesn\u2019t have any camouflage hiding the design details.<\/p>\n

Under the Nismo\u2019s hood is Nissan\u2019s twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine. The engine makes 400 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque in the standard model, but Nissan massaged more power out of the mill for the Nismo. The engine now makes 420 hp and 384 pound-feet of torque.<\/p>\n
Unlike the rest of the Z lineup, the Nismo is only available with the nine-speed automatic. Sorry, manual lovers, no six-speed is available for the more potent model. Nissan does give the gearbox some Nismo-specific tuning for improved performance. It\u2019s one of several tweaks Nissan made to the car to differentiate it from the non-Nismo models.<\/p>\n
The increase in power coincides with some aerodynamic updates. The car is one inch longer than the regular Z due to the car\u2019s Grand-Nose design for the front fascia. It protrudes from the front of the coupe, sitting above a new lip spoiler and corner canards. The Z Nismo features a large, three-piece rear spoiler at the back. All the extra aero bits increase the car\u2019s downforce while reducing drag and lift.<\/p>\n
Sitting behind the car\u2019s 19-inch wheels are 15.0-inch front and 13.8-inch rear brakes. Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT600s tires wrap around lightweight, Nismo-specific rims. Nissan also stiffened the chassis, improved the steering, and tweaked the suspension.<\/p>\n
Inside, front seat passengers get to sit in bolstered Recaro seats, and there are red accents throughout. Nissan will offer the Z Nismo in five exterior colors, including the exclusive Stealth Gray.<\/p>\n
The 2023 Nissan Z starts at $42,085 (all prices include the $1,095 destination charge). The top-tier Nissan Z Proto commands $56,380 to start with the $1,295 two-tone exterior paint scheme, and the Z Nismo will likely be even more expensive. Prices for the non-Nismo Z might creep up for the 2024 model year.<\/p>\n
We expect Nissan to reveal the Nismo\u2019s price closer to its on-sale date, which the company has scheduled for this fall. The autumn season kicks off on September 23.<\/p>\n
