The Nissan Z Is Back — And It's Better Than Ever

After years of anticipation, Nissan finally unveiled the all-new Nissan Z (RZ34) in 2022 — and it was worth the wait. Replacing the 370Z that had been in production since 2009, the RZ34 brings a completely new twin-turbocharged V6 engine, a redesigned body with unmistakable retro-inspired styling cues from the legendary 240Z and 300ZX, and a proper 6-speed manual gearbox.

Twin-Turbo VR30DDTT — The Heart of the New Z

The RZ34 is powered by the 3.0-litre twin-turbo VR30DDTT V6 — the same engine found in the Infiniti Q60 Red Sport 400. In the new Z, it produces 400 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. With launch control on the 9-speed automatic, the Z reaches 100 km/h in just 5.0 seconds. But the real soul of the car is in the 6-speed manual — short, precise throws that connect driver to machine the old-fashioned way.

The suspension setup — independent front and rear multilink — delivers sharper handling than the 370Z, and the wider track gives the Z a more planted feel in corners. The Brembo brakes (standard on Sport and Performance trims) provide exceptional stopping power.

Nissan Z vs 370Z — Is the Upgrade Worth It?

Yes. The 370Z was a great sports car but was showing its age. The RZ34 has 130 more horsepower, a turbocharged engine that responds better to mods, a more modern interior, and styling that turns far more heads. The manual gearbox is better too — shorter ratios, more precise feel. If you own a 370Z, the Z is a serious step forward in every measurable way.
