The rumors were true, the 2024 Nissan Z Nismo is indeed only available with an automatic transmission
On the outside, the Z Nismo gets unique front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a rear spoiler. Nissan says that the lower, longer nose is inspired by the 240ZG long-nose model offered in Japan, and we can kind of see what they mean, though it’s decidedly less retro than the standard Z fascia. The deeper front spoiler is matched by the side skirts and reworked rear bumper, and they’re tied together with a red stripe along the bottom edges. The three-piece rear spoiler is larger than the Z Performance’s, too, and Nissan says the whole aero package is designed to reduce drag while also producing downforce, though it didn’t say how much of either.
Additionally, the exterior features exclusive 19-inch Rays forged wheels, a unique gray trim piece along the tops of the windows and a black roof. Those wheels are an extra half-inch wider than the Z Performance examples, and they wear Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT600 tires, the rears of which have an extra 10-mm of meat compared to the Performance. It’s available in black, white, silver, red and the exclusive gray paint shown in the gallery. The interior is subtly changed with red and black leather and Alcantara Recaro seats, a leather and Alcantara steering wheel and instrument graphics with the Nismo logo, red trim and a unique start-up animation.
