The refreshed Nissan Z, known on its domestic market as the Fairlady Z, is already obtainable starting from 5,737,600 Japanese Yen, or 36,025 USD.
Nissan teased the facelifted Z more than half a year ago, but hasn’t made it available until now. Compared to the predecessor, the 2027MY version features a redesigned front fascia with an air intake split in two. It also sports rather dark wheels with CNC-machined spoke faces and can be ordered in a new shade called Unryu Green, essentially a metallic dark green.
Based on the feedback on the numerous Nissan Z owners who found its ride too harsh, the automaker has replaced the dampers in the suspension for larger, softer ones designed for a smoother ride. The front brakes also became lighter and the brake calipers now come in a brighter, more noticeable shade of red.
Powering the updated Fairlady Z is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 rated at 405 PS (400 hp / 299 kW) and 475 Nm (350 lb-ft) of torque. The transmission can be either six-speed manual or nine-speed automatic. In this department, Nissan mentions throttle valve and ignition improvements that should result in a sharper throttle response. No revised sprint times have been published yet.
