Nissan is bringing a bold new look to the 2025 Z with an expanded color palette, headlined by the return of the legendary Bayside Blue. Previously exclusive to the GT-R, this vibrant hue enhances the Z’s retro-modern styling, celebrating the brand’s sports car heritage.

The 2025 Z retains its signature long hood and squared-off rear, with classic design cues like the katana blade roof accent and “Z Bulge” hood. Inside, the driver-focused cockpit boasts a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, a 9-inch touchscreen with navigation and NissanConnect Services with a Wi-Fi hotspot. The Z is fitted with a twin-turbocharged V6 producing 400 hp, paired with either a six-speed manual or a nine-speed automatic transmission.

For enthusiasts seeking more power, the NISMO variant pushes output to 420 hp, backed by upgraded suspension, wider rear wheels and track-ready tuning. Safety is also a priority, with features like Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Warning and Intelligent Cruise Control coming standard.
