The 2024 Nissan Z NISMO was engineered to lap the track again and again… and again. Hitting the team’s aggressive benchmarks meant fine-tuning hundreds of parts and countless hours of intense testing.
Building on the seventh generation of the iconic Nissan Z, engineers examined the vehicle top-to-bottom to find every opportunity to optimize its on-track capabilities. They stiffened the chassis, boosted horsepower, enhanced aerodynamics and – of course – fitted new 19-inch RAYS® wheels with even grippier tires than those on Z Performance. The result: a clear continuation of NISMO’s legacy of exhilarating, track-ready sports cars.
In this first edition of “Nissan Garage Exclusives,” we take an up-close look at a Z NISMO that logged thousands of miles on the track during engineers’ extensive testing process. Watch the mini video series below to see Christian Spencer, Nissan senior manager of vehicle evaluation and testing, break down the differences you’ll find in Z NISMO, inside and out.

How do you keep a 420-horsepower machine composed on the track? Enormous attention to detail.
Chapter 3: Power
Engineers boosted horsepower and torque on the Z NISMO, but that’s just part of their comprehensive approach to enhancing performance.
Chapter 4: Braking
The massive stopping power of the 2024 Nissan Z NISMO helps drivers stay confident — on and off the track.
