The Hype Is Real with the New 2023 Manual Nissan Z

For years, Nissan fans have asked for a manual throwback coupe, and the automaker has finally delivered in the all-new 2023 Nissan Z . Featuring incredible styling, a manual transmission, and projected 0-60 time in the low 4s, the Z is the coupe you’ve been waiting for. Read on to learn everything you need to know about this incredible car.

Manual Makes All the Difference

The all-new 2023 Nissan Z delivers a truly different driving experience in its manual form. Whether you’re cruising down the highway or traveling curvy mountain roads, this incredible coupe offers the perfect blend of handling, performance, suspension, and comfort.

What sets the manual Z apart from its automatic counterparts is the easy-to-use, smooth shifter. The close-ratio box is paired with a high-performance Exedy clutch and a carbon fiber driveshaft, making the manual Z much lighter than its automatic counterpart. You’ll find there’s plenty of power to shift smoothly between gears, not to mention enough growl to give drivers that throaty engine sound they’re craving. If you’re looking for a car that delivers an engaging drive, every time, you really can’t go wrong with the manual Z.

An Impressive Engine

The Z’s manual transmission is paired with the most powerful engine ever seen in a Nissan Z. The intercooled, 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine gets up to 400 hp and 350 lb.-ft of torque. It’s the perfect blend of strength and power. Nissan thoughtfully designed this all-new engine with an aluminum-alloy block and heads to keep things like, and a water-cooled intercooler to keep things cool.

The turbines produce up to 240,000 rpm thanks to optical turbo speed sensors. The impressive manual transmission featuring SynchroRev Match® helps handle all the power from the engine, sending the throttle the ideal engine rpm for the smoothest downshifts you’ve ever experienced.

Superior Styling

It only takes one look at the all-new Z to fall in love. The styling cues harken back to earlier Zs, featuring a blend of retro notes with a clean, modern silhouette. There’s the rectangular grille—an obvious nod to the classic Datsun 240. Horizontal LED taillights give the car a 300ZX vibe. There are 9 exterior color options, including six two-tone paints that feature a contrasting black roof and three single-tone paint colors. The base Sport model is equipped with 18-inch wheels, while Performance trims wear 19-inchers. Overall, the 2023 Nissan Z is a truly striking coupe—a modern take on some of the classic vehicles Nissan fans know and love.

A Modernized Cabin

Even the cabin is brand-new in the 2023 Z. With available leather upholstery, power-adjustable seats, and dual-zone automatic climate control, you can count on a comfortable ride, every time. Nissan also brought the Z into the 21 st century, with tons of standard tech, from a generous 8.0-inch infotainment display to the powerful six-speaker stereo. With an optional 9.0-inch unit with navigation and an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot available, it’s easy to stay connected no matter where the roads take you.
