2024 Nissan Z Nismo returns with 420 hp and several upgrades
- Nissan Z Nismo puts out 414 bhp and 520 Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission that has been tweaked by Nismo.
Nissan has officially unveiled the 2024 Z Nismo for the global market. The Z version not only gets cosmetic upgrades but it also comes with mechanical upgrades so that the Z can perform better on track. Nissan Z Nismo will go on sale later this fall and prices will be announced during that time only.
The exterior revisions include improved aerodynamics as the downforce levels have been increased. The front fascia has been redesigned with a restyled grille that has a honeycomb mess design. This design also helps in reducing drag while increasing the flow of cold air to the engine bay. Canards at the car’s front corners create vortexes over the front wheels. The rear spoiler is taller and wider and has a three-piece design that extends onto the rear fenders. The corners of the rear bumper have been redesigned to reduce drag and separate air. Then there are the side sills which are also redesigned, they help reduce aerodynamic drag and lift.
