The 2027 Nissan Z Facelift has been revealed with a sharper character and a clear homage to the Fairlady Z heritage. The new design features a two-piece grille, body-color crossbar, and simple Z emblem that echoes the classic 240Z. The Unryu Green paint job lends a modern-retro presence, while the overall form is more refined and balanced for analog driving purists.
Inside, the tan leather interior brings a quieter, more premium ambience, away from the tuner vibe of previous themes. Under the body, dynamics are improved with monotube shocks with larger pistons, bigger brakes, and subtle aero tweaks for a smoother ride and response. The 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 remains, proving the dedication to performance doesn't need to change the heart of the coupe.
The biggest news for enthusiasts is the arrival of a Nismo six-speed manual, with retuned ECU and throttle mapping, upgraded dampers, and GT-R-derived brakes. In an era where purist sports cars are rare, Nissan is strengthening the Z's appeal with driver-focused engineering—a bridge between JDM nostalgia and a new generation shaped by sim racing and car culture.
