Retro Coupe Comes At An Aggressive Cost

Nissan bills its next Z model as an “approachable” sports car, one that brings retro design elements alongside the latest automotive innovations and high-tech features. The new model represents the seventh generation of the popular line, which has ditched its number prefix to simply be called the “2023 Z” in the U.S. The automaker previously announced a 0-60 mph improvement of around 15%, not to mention a generous 30% boost in torque and 68 additional horsepower (via Nissan).

Looking to the interior, Nissan has packed both a 12.3-inch digital display and an 8-inch touchscreen control panel, though the car also retains some analog controls, as well. Drivers are offered three different modes when it comes to the meter display, including Sport and Enhanced options for drivers who want navigation or shift information to get more prominence during their drives. The model is rounded out by a huge number of standard equipment features, not the least of which is intelligent cruise control, the automaker’s Intelligent Key alongside a push-to-start button, support for CarPlay and Android Auto, both USB-A and USB-C ports, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

As anticipated, the Nissan Z Coupe sports car, including its Performance variant, will arrive in U.S. dealerships starting this summer. The destination and handling fees clock in at $1,025.
