MANILA: A member of the Nissan Z forum shared what could be the first 2023 Nissan Z officially on sale. The forum post shares a Seiran Bluz Performance model, listed for US$58,287 (P3.284 million) at a Nissan dealership in Guam, and photographed alongside two Z Proto Spec coupes.
In previous release, Nissan USA said the 2023 Z models are scheduled to arrive at Nissan dealerships nationwide in US summer 2022. The 2023 Z grades are the Z Sport, Z Performance, and Z Proto Spec.
All grades of Nissan's hotly anticipated sports coupe are equipped with a 400-horsepower three-liter V6 twin-turbo engine and a choice of six-speed manual transmission or a new nine-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
Limited to 240 units for the US market, the Proto Spec edition will feature a special plaque, as well as exclusive interior and exterior features, all paying homage to the Z Proto launched in 2020.
The 2023 Z boasts a fresh and sleek exterior design with a silhouette that communicates respect to its lineage with its long hood and short deck.
As for performance, the Z will feature a mechanical limited-slip differential that helps distribute power to the driven wheel with the best grip. An available launch control will help eliminate the sports car's wheel spin and hop, by holding the engine at a pre-set RPM and modulates power during launches.
Inside, the driver-centric cockpit takes inspiration from past Z generations with its traditional three analog pod gauges while including modern amenities like a 12.3-inch customizable racing-inspired TFT meter and available nine-inch touchscreen display.
"The Nissan Z is our company's heart and soul, bringing sports car design, performance and excitement to a broad range of buyers, starting with the introduction of the first generation more than 50 years ago," Senior Vice President for Nissan US Marketing and Sales Michael Colleran said.
