About the Nissan Z
The seventh-generation Nissan Z, codenamed RZ34, marks a return to the model's roots by blending styling cues from the 240Z and 300ZX with modern performance. The Performance trim upgrades the base Sport model with a mechanical limited-slip differential, larger Akebono brakes, and 19-inch forged RAYS wheels. Under the hood, the VR30DDTT engine provides a significant power jump over the outgoing 370Z, though the chassis remains an evolved version of the FM platform. It offers a purist driving experience with a standard manual gearbox and a digital cockpit that retains the iconic triple-pod analogue gauges.
