Stylish and Track-Ready - Nissan Launches the Z NISMO in the Middle East

Abu Dhabi : The 2-door sports car offers performance inspired by the race track but is suited for everyday driving.

Nissan has officially brought the new Z NISMO to the Middle East. This model strengthens the history of the Z sports car with a version built especially for driving fans. As the top choice in the Z range, the Z NISMO combines careful engineering with bold looks. 

Nissan Z NISMO - Race-Oriented Hardware

The new Z NISMO has a special 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with 420 hp and 520 Nm of torque, which is 20 hp and 45 Nm more than the regular model. It reaches a top speed of 279 kmph, 29 kmph faster, thanks to better cooling and ignition control inspired by the GT-R. 

The car’s 9-speed automatic transmission is tuned by NISMO for quicker shifts, especially in SPORT+ mode, which reduces downshift times by half. 

The chassis is stronger, with 2.5% more rigidity, and the suspension has been upgraded with stiffer parts for better cornering. It also has stiffer engine mounts and big Akebono brakes with 15-inch rotors for quick stops. All these updates make the Z NISMO faster, more stable, and more responsive on the road.

NISMO has also fine-tuned the Launch Control system to provide the best grip off the line. It keeps the wheel spin to a minimum, allowing for smooth, precise starts every time. This helps drivers get maximum acceleration consistently. The system is designed to give clear feedback, making it easier to control. 

Additionally, the brushed aluminium pedals not only boost the sporty feel but also improve the driving experience.
