Exterior

The 2026 Nissan Z’s exterior is a striking blend of five decades of design history and modern, aggressive styling. Its iconic long hood, short rear deck, and signature full-width LED taillight design pay homage to legendary Z models. New for 2026 is the Heritage Edition trim, featuring exclusive Midnight Purple paint, bold bronze-alloy wheels, and a carbon-fiber ducktail spoiler, making a serious statement. The NISMO trim takes aesthetics and aerodynamics to the extreme with a G-nose-inspired front fascia and specialized aerodynamic bodywork. This is a powerful, low-slung machine that exudes muscularity and sophistication, ensuring it turns heads whether it's parked in downtown Detroit or cruising I-75.

The pure driving experience is preserved with an available 6-speed manual transmission featuring SynchroRev Match. For ultimate power, the automatic-only NISMO variant is specially tuned to deliver 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque.
