The Nissan Z (the Fairlady Z in its homeland known as the 2026 Tokyo Auto Salon) has been revealed at the ****2027 Tokyo AUTO Salon with little fanfare.
Externally the major components of the facelift are The new front bumper, alloy wheels and unryu green hero paint.
In the new bumper, it contrasts with the current car’s facing slab-like rectangular grille opening in favour of a wider design that has been replaced by ‘body colour bar’. Sculpted The bumper itself is more sculptes and cleanly continues the holes that are created by the bonnet.
Not only is it a more cohesive design, but also lowers front lift 3 times. Per cent 3 percent, 1.1 drags down the and reduces it by 3per cent – or less – 0 per cent,. This redesigned Z removes the Nissan corporate emblem from its front in favour of a Z logo, with an updated Z.
Facelift model hints further into this generation’s retro-era theme with its two-tone alloy wheels, while the Grand Prix Green paint job on the original ‘S30’ generation is inspired by the Unryu Green. Spectacular boot lip spoiler for pre-facelift models is not shown here, but the car on display has no subtle boot flaw.
The shocks have been upgraded with larger pistons under the skin Nisana, and he has also fitted bigger brakes. The 3 . A 0-litre twin-turbo V6 is the same, and still delivers 298kW and 475Nm to the rear wheels via either a six-speed manual or nine-Speed automatic.
Inside, there are no significant changes to the interior but a tan trim for the seats and lower dashboard and door cards. A manual car with paddle shifters behind the steering wheel is interestingly pictured in these images.
Also on display at Nissan’s Tokyo Auto Salon stand is the previously-revealed manual Nismo variant. The Nismo model misses out on the facelift Z’s new bumper as it already has its own, more aggressive and sculpted front fascia.
When will the facelift Z be in Australia and other export markets, it’s not yet clear if it is going to be on sale in Japan during the middle of year (in northern summer)?
