The Nissan Z, Nissan's next-generation sports car, launched in August 2021, announced the price of the first limited edition (limited to 240 units) at the just-concluded Tokyo Motor Show (about 390,000 yuan). However, more details of the vehicle have not yet been made public. Recently, foreign media reported that a Canadian user who was ready to book a Nissan Z got a vehicle booking guide, which showed that Nissan Z will launch three configuration models in North America, and the most eye-catching thing is that the Nissan Z has a significant weight increase compared to the previous generation 370Z.
It is understood that Nissan Z will launch three configuration versions of Sport, Performance and Proto Spec in North America, of which the most basic Sport version has reached 1581kg under the premise of matching the 6-speed manual transmission (it is already the lightest one in the Nissan Z series), which is about 115kg heavier than the basic model of the previous generation 370Z.
If the Performance version is chosen, the 19-inch rim (18-inch for the Sport version), LSD (limited-slip differential), and 8-channel Bose will add another 23kg (1604kg) to the Higher Profile, and a higher Proto Spec will gain 53kg (1634kg). Currently, nissan Z has a deposit of $1,000 CAD (about 5,000 RMB) for reservations in Canada.
The Nissan Z is equipped with a 3.0T twin-turbo V6 engine with a maximum power of 298 kW (406 hp). Considering that the power of the predecessor model equipped with a 3.7L V6 (VQ37) engine and a maximum power of 261 kW (355 hp) has been significantly improved, perhaps the weight gain of the new car will not have a particularly large impact on the power performance.
