Dubai, UAE (25 June 2025) – Nissan has officially introduced the all-new Z NISMO to the Middle East, elevating its storied sports car lineage with a purpose-built model engineered for driving enthusiasts. Representing the pinnacle of the Z lineup, the Z NISMO blends technical refinement with bold design, bringing track-tuned performance to the road.

The all-new Z NISMO elevates the iconic sports car's performance with additional horsepower and torque, NISMO-tuned suspension and brakes, revised aerodynamic bodywork, stiffened suspension, and wider wheels with a more aggressive tire compound. Building on the excitement of the standard Z, interior enhancements include red-anodized engine-start and drive mode buttons, Recaro seats, and a leather and Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel with a red marker at the 12 o'clock position.

Thierry Sabbagh, President of Nissan Middle East and INFINITI and Divisional Vice President for KSA, Middle East, and CIS, said: “The all-new Nissan Z NISMO is a sports car that is built to thrill. More than just excitement, it is crafted to stir the soul, offering exhilarating track-ready capability and boosting the pride of those who cherish its rich legacy and unparalleled performance. This model is a direct response to our customers' passion and our commitment to deliver thrilling innovation.”

The all-new Z NISMO builds on a proud legacy spanning more than 50 years, deeply rooted in Nissan’s rich motorsport heritage. Since the debut of the original Nissan Z in 1969, the iconic sports car has captured the imagination of driving enthusiasts globally. NISMO, Nissan’s dedicated motorsport division established in 1984, has consistently pushed the boundaries of performance, technology, and racing excellence. By combining decades of racing innovation and engineering expertise, the all-new Z NISMO proudly upholds this storied tradition, offering enthusiasts a vehicle that embodies pure driving exhilaration and motorsport pedigree.

Track-Tuned Performance

Powered by a NISMO-tuned 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine producing 420 hp and 520 Nm of torque, the all-new Z NISMO delivers a performance gain of +20 hp and +45 Nm over the standard model. Peak torque is available from 2,000 to 5,200 rpm, enabling a top speed of 279 km/h — 29 km/h faster than its base counterpart. GT-R-inspired ignition control and an additional intercooler enhance engine cooling for sustained high-speed runs.

Paired with a NISMO-calibrated 9-speed automatic transmission, the Z NISMO features shortened clutch stroke, enhanced heat capacity, and an exclusive SPORT+ mode delivering up to 50% quicker downshifts, refined throttle mapping, and improved steering response.

The chassis gains a 2.5% increase in torsional rigidity, with NISMO-tuned bushings, stiffer springs and stabilizers, revised dampers, stiffened engine mounts, and Akebono performance brakes with 15” front rotors and high-friction pads.

Aerodynamic Styling

The NISMO-exclusive front fascia features an aperture honeycomb grille — the thinnest mesh of any Nissan production car — to improve cooling and reduce drag. Canard winglets, an extended G-Nose splitter, GT-R NISMO-inspired rear bumper corners, a three-piece rear spoiler, and a rear diffuser all contribute to increased downforce and high-speed stability.

Lightweight 19-inch RAYS forged alloy wheels are wrapped in wider 285/35 R19 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx GT600 tires for enhanced grip and control. Red accents line the lower body and mirrors, while an LED rear fog light inspired by Nissan’s Formula E car reinforces its performance DNA.

Performance Cockpit

Inside, RECARO® bucket seats with Alcantara inserts provide lateral support, while a red center marker on the Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, a NISMO-specific tachometer, and red-accented trims create a race-inspired environment.

Available in five exterior colors — Black Diamond Pearl, Brilliant Silver, Solid Red, Pearl White, and NISMO-exclusive Stealth Grey — with an optional black roof. The exclusive Graphite Red Leather and Alcantara® interior with red accents further reinforces its motorsport-inspired character.

Thrilling Driving Experience

The NISMO-tuned Launch Control system ensures optimal traction and repeatable high-precision starts. Upgraded cooling and braking systems provide fade-resistant stopping power under stress, while brushed aluminum pedals enhance tactile feedback.

From its track-tuned powertrain and responsive suspension to its race-derived aerodynamics and performance-focused cabin, the all-new Nissan Z NISMO is built to thrill. Now available at Nissan’s partner network in the UAE.
