Thrill to the power of Z®

Z PERFORMANCE

400 horsepower pushing you back into a deeply contoured sport seat.[1] A tap of the performance brakes, a quick turn of the wheel, and you dive to the apex of the turn. Then you hit the gas, the tail squats, and you’re gone. Nothing else feels like a Z.
  • 400-hp, twin-turbo V6[1]
  • 6-speed manual transmission

ACCELERATE YOUR EXPECTATIONS

See how Z uses advanced tech for thrilling acceleration.

More than an engine — it’s a force of nature

DOES Z HAVE A TURBO ENGINE?

Yes. Z is powered by a twin-turbo, 3.0-liter V6 — the most powerful engine ever in a Z.
  • 400 twin-turbocharged horsepower for instant power and relentless pull[1]
  • 350 lb-ft of torque starting from 1,600 to 5,200 rpm[1]
  • Direct gas injection
  • Water-cooled intercooler system
  • Turbo speed sensors and advanced turbine blade design max out boost
6-speed manual with SynchroRev Match® Matches engine rpm for every shift. The result — the chassis stays balanced, especially in turns. Beefy synchros in 1st and 2nd gear give a more-defined, positive shift, while an EXEDY® high-performance clutch helps give a more-positive engagement.
9-speed automatic with Downshift Rev Matching Serving up rapid-fire shifts as you like them. Downshift Rev Matching sets you up for that next move. In manual mode, you can control Z with available paddle shifters taken from our GT-R® supercar, making it an automatic that tempts even the most fervent manual fans.[2]

Squeeze out every last rpm

DOES Z HAVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION?

Yes. Z has a 6-speed manual transmission. A 9-speed automatic transmission is also available.

Putting power to the pavement

FIRST-EVER Z LAUNCH CONTROL

For the first time on a Z, launch control holds the engine at the optimal rpm and modulates power as you accelerate for the most consistent, jaw-dropping acceleration times possible.[1] Enhancing your drive, no-lift shift lets you keep your foot on the accelerator for quicker shifts and helps keep the engine at peak power.

SHIFT INDICATOR & SEAT CUTOUTS

Every part of Z works together to give you a thrilling drive. The Sport Mode Display flashes as you approach the redline to alert you to shift. The driver’s seat features cutouts for your legs and arms, allowing you the freedom to work the pedals, steer, and shift.[2]

A thrill at every turn

HANDLING & BRAKING

With a suspension that responds instantly, steering that communicates with feel and precision, and tires serving up impressive grip, every corner in Z is an experience.

    BITES WHEN CORNERED

    See how Z excites you with every turn of the wheel.
    Mechanical Limited-slip Differential An available mechanical limited-slip differential doles out those 400 horses to the rear wheels, helping give you maximum traction and letting you power out of corners.[1]

    Suspension Whether it’s a bump in the road or the quick turn of the steering wheel, Z is designed to respond with monotube shocks that provide enhanced dampening. Lightweight suspension components, precise front suspension geometry, and rear suspension tuning help you place Z where you want it on the road.
    Wheels and Tires Turn the wheel, and you’ll feel Z push you deep into the seat bolsters, thanks to the available, massive 19" RAYS® super-lightweight forged-alloy wheels with wider front tires and high-performance design tires at all four corners.

    Body Stiffness The stiffer the chassis, the better the suspension can work. Torsional rigidity, including a stiff rear hatch and body, helps give a more solid feel.

    Steering so intuitive, it almost seems to read your mind

    ELECTRIC-ASSIST POWER STEERING

    With electric power assist, Z’s rack-and-pinion steering has just the right amount of heft to give you precise feedback when driving enthusiastically. Around town, it adds a boost to make maneuvering and parking easy.
