8 Cool Quirks of the 2023 Nissan Z

The Nissan Z is back with a bang for the 2023 model year, carrying forward the “Z” legacy with an eye-catching coupe that’s both retro and modern all at once. The all-new 2023 Nissan Z has all the right features, from a twin-turbo V6 to a manual transmission and so much more. Here are 8 cool quirks that prove that Nissan’s latest Z is the best one yet.

1. An All-New Engine

Fans of the Nissan Z have always been looking for better power and better performance. The all-new Z delivers, thanks to a new 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that pumps out 400 horsepower with 350 lb.-ft of torque. That’s 68 horsepower and 80 lb.-ft more than the previous Z—the 370Z. Now, this powerful coupe achieves 0-60 mph in around four seconds, reaching a top speed of 155 mph.

2. A Balanced Chassis

The 2023 Nissan Z is based on the Front Midship platform, a chassis it shares with its predecessors the 370Z and 350Z, as well as high-end models like Infiniti’s Q60. This platform gives the Z a more supple suspension, allowing it to perform well with superior handling in any driving situation, whether you’re rolling on the tarmac or traveling down bumpy back roads.

3. A Modern Design With Retro Flair

The all-new Z features distinctive styling that appropriates design cues from all the celebrated Z-series coupes from Nissan’s long, impressive history. At first glance, the new Z looks familiar yet distinctively different—you’ll notice some of the Datsun 240Z in the coupe’s silhouette, while the look of the taillights harkens back to the famous 300ZX. In a segment dominated by huge grills and large wings, the Z stands out as a retro yet modern sports car.

4. Performance Seats

The 2023 Z is equally impressive inside the cabin, featuring redesigned performance seats. Nissan designed the new seats with lateral support in mind, and knee bolsters offer additional support.

5. Racing Driver-Designed Gauges

One of the most eye-catching features inside the all-new Z is the triple gauge cluster. Now, these three pods display boost pressure, turbo speed, and voltage, a design made in collaboration with Tsugio Matsuda, a NISMO racing car driver.

6. Launch Control

The 2023 Nissan Z with Performance package includes a very cool feature—launch control. This innovation propels the Z from 0 to 60 in just 3.5 seconds, helping to modulate the vehicle’s throttle and traction settings to keep the wheels from spinning off the line.

7. Integrated Infotainment

Nissan’s paid close attention to what customers want, and it’s clear that Z drivers are looking for modern infotainment systems to match or exceed rivals in the segment. Now, the all-new Z comes with a generous 8-inch infotainment display standard, with an optional 9-inch unit with built-in navigation.

8. Affordable Price

The all-new Z is a sports car that has it all at a surprisingly affordable price. With a starting price below $40,000, it’s arguably the best value in its segment. While higher-spec trims like the Z Performance trim are priced around $51,000, it’s still a great bargain for the price.
