Key mechanical highlights:

• Mechanical limited-slip differential (Performance, Heritage Edition, NISMO)

The Z’s curb weight ranges from 3,486 pounds (Sport) to 3,704 pounds (NISMO). With a low center of gravity, stiff chassis, and near-perfect weight distribution, the Z remains flat and planted during aggressive cornering. Ground clearance sits at just 4.8 inches to keep handling tight and controlled.

The 2026 Z includes a wide range of modern tech inside the cabin, starting with a reconfigurable 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with driver-selectable display modes.
