Performance Highlights of the 2027 Nissan Z

The 2027 Nissan Z is a sports car that blends old-school driving thrills with modern performance technology. Its rear-wheel-drive layout, twin-turbocharged power, and performance-focused chassis make every drive more engaging. Here at Avondale Nissan, our team is ready to help you explore the 2027 Nissan Z.

Twin-Turbo Power

Every version of the 2027 Nissan Z comes standard with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine, so there is plenty of muscle before stepping up to the higher trim levels. Sport and Performance trim levels with this powertrain crank out 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, while the NISMO turns up the heat with 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque. This is more than enough power for both your daily commute and even taking the car to the track.

Drivers who prefer working the gears themselves can choose a six-speed manual transmission, while a nine-speed automatic is also offered on select configurations. For 2027, the Nissan Z NISMO® is available with either a specially tuned six-speed manual or a NISMO®-tuned nine-speed automatic. The NISMO® manual adds a short-throw shifter along with an upgraded clutch and pressure plate for more responsive gear changes.

Built for More Than Speed

Moving up to the Performance trim adds hardware such as 19-inch RAYS® forged-aluminum wheels and Akebono® four-piston front and two-piston rear brake calipers. Together with the mechanical limited-slip differential, these upgrades give the Nissan Z Performance additional capability beyond the standard Sport trim.

The Nissan Z NISMO® takes things further with 19-inch NISMO® RAYS® forged-aluminum wheels, NISMO®/Akebono® Performance Brakes, and a specially tuned suspension with higher spring rates and increased rebound damping force. These upgrades sharpen the Nissan Z NISMO® for more demanding driving on the street or track.

Performance Technology That Keeps You Connected

The 2027 Nissan Z pairs its power with technology designed to help drivers make the most of it. Available launch control helps reduce wheel spin for quicker, more consistent acceleration, while available no-lift shift lets manual-transmission drivers change gears without lifting off the accelerator. Available SynchroRev Match® can also automatically match engine speed during downshifts for smoother gear changes.

The Performance trim receives additional upgrades for 2027, including retuned suspension with larger-diameter dampers. These changes provide quicker response and reduced rebound, sharpening handling while maintaining everyday ride comfort.
