Explore ZAll-New 2023 Z performance
For the curve, for the straightaway, for anywhere
The all-new 2023 Z stays true to its performance roots, with a powerful 6-cylinder under the hood; a Front Midship, rear-wheel-drive design that places the engine farther back in the chassis for enhanced balance; and a suspension that makes you feel hard-wired to the road. It’s an authentic sports car in the purest sense of the word. [*] Professional driver on closed course, using extensive safety precautions. Do not attempt. Driving is serious business and requires your full attention. Obey all traffic laws, always drive safely, and wear your seat belt. Damage resulting from racing, competitive driving, track, off-road and/or airstrip use not covered by warranty. See your New Vehicle Limited Warranty booklet and Owner’s Manual for proper vehicle operation and complete warranty details.
400 twin-turbocharged horsepower
At the heart of the Z is a 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbocharged 24-valve engine. An aluminum-alloy block and heads keep things light, while a water-cooled intercooler helps keep things cool. An optical speed sensor brings power with turbine speeds up to a dizzying 220,000 rpm.
Mechanical Limited-slip Differential
A new available mechanical limited-slip differential helps distribute power to the driven wheel with the best grip, helping you power out of corners.
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. [*] Driving is serious business and requires your full attention. Obey all traffic laws, always drive safely, and wear your seat belt. Damage resulting from racing, competitive driving, track, off-road and/or airstrip use not covered by warranty. See your new vehicle limited warranty information booklet and Owner’s Manual for proper vehicle operation and complete warranty details.
6-speed manual transmission
In the 2023 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. For added thrills, you can employ the available steering wheel paddle shifters borrowed from the Nissan GT-R.
Suspension and steering
To make sure it handles like a Z, the new model features new mono tube shocks, new front geometry and rear suspension tuning. Electric power steering – the first time on a Z, allows near-infinite tuning for inspired control and precision. [*] Professional driver on closed course, using extensive safety precautions.

See your New Vehicle Limited Warranty booklet and Owner’s Manual for proper vehicle operation and complete warranty details.
Body rigidity
The stiffer the chassis, the better the suspension can work. To help get the maximum out of the Z’s suspension, torsional rigidity was increased over 10%.
Performance brakes
Tuned to give braking with excellent feel and stopping power, available Sport Brakes feature 14" front rotors with 4-piston calipers. [*] High friction brake pads are designed for high-performance driving with a higher coefficient of friction on the rotors that provides superior pedal feel and improved fade resistance in severe braking conditions. Depending on your driving habits, you may experience increased brake dust and noise as well as faster wear and tear of the brake pads and rotors, resulting in more frequent replacement of these components.
All-New 2023 Z driver’s interior
It holds you in ways you never dreamed of
A great dance partner knows how to hold you perfectly. Tight enough for control, but with room to move, too. Advanced technology serves up everything you need to know and nothing you don’t, combined with classic design that never forgets what a true thrilling sports car must be.

The Z’s Sport Mode screen – one of three selectable screens for the digital dashboard – was designed with input from Tsugio Matsuda, a racer for NISMO in Super GT in Japan.

Confidence to match the capability
Advanced driver assist and safety technology help take the daily workload off the driver, so you can concentrate on what matters most – the pure enjoyment of every drive.
Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection monitors your speed and distance between you and the car ahead, and can let you know if you need to slow down. [*] Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection cannot prevent all collisions and may not provide warning or braking in all conditions. Driver should monitor traffic conditions and brake as needed to prevent collisions. See Owner’s Manual for safety information. It can also automatically engage the brakes to help avoid a frontal collision or lessen the severity of an impact. And when it detects a pedestrian in the crosswalk, it can stop you in your tracks.
Intelligent Forward Collision Warning
What’s up ahead? Intelligent Forward Collision Warning watches two cars ahead, and when it detects sudden deceleration in front of you, it gives you a warning to slow down. [*] Intelligent Forward Collision Warning cannot prevent collisions. See Owner’s Manual for safety information.
Blind Spot Warning
Wait. Was that a car over there? Z with Blind Spot Warning helps keep an eye on the blind spot area and gives you a heads-up if it detects a vehicle hiding there. [*] Blind Spot Warning and Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention cannot prevent collisions and may not detect every object or warn in all situations. Driver should always turn and look before changing lanes. See Owner’s Manual for safety information.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Fear no parking lot, or driveway. When you’re backing out of your space, Rear Cross Traffic Alert watches around the rear of your Z and can warn you about cars it detects creeping up on you from either side. [*] Rear Cross Traffic Alert may not detect all vehicles. See Owner’s Manual for safety information.
Lane Departure Warning
Hold it right there. Lane Departure Warning helps make sure you change lanes only when you mean to. [*] Lane Departure Warning only operates when lane markings are able to be detected. See Owner’s Manual for safety information. If the system detects that you’re drifting over, a gentle buzz on the steering wheel can let you know.
High Beam Assist
High Beam Assist can automatically deactivate the Z’s high beams if it detects an oncoming vehicle, a response appreciated by everyone. After the driver has passed, the system can reactivate the high beams.
