Nissan Z Nismo shown slaying its rear tires sideways in preview video
Nismo can roast its rear tires in record time, but where the torque comes from hasn't been revealed. The engine cover features a"V6 Twin Turbo" logo, and the aforementioned report suggests that power comes from an evolution of the regular Z's 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 whose output grows to 420 horsepower thanks largely to software modifications. However, a separate report pegged the Nismo's output at over 500 horsepower, though neither number is official.
For context, the standard Z ships with a 3.0-liter V6 that's twin-turbocharged to 400 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. It spins the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, and a nine-speed automatic is available at an extra cost. There's no word yet on when we'll see the Z Nismo; Nissan merely promised that the coupe is"coming soon." We expect to learn more about it in the coming months, and we wouldn't be surprised to see it make its full debut before the end of 2023. If that's accurate, it could land in showrooms in 2024.
