2027 Nissan Z NISMO (6-Speed Manual) - Taking it to the Next Level!

We compare the 2026 Nissan Z Performance vs. 2027 Nissan Z Nismo 6MT at Sonoma Raceway! The 2027 Nissan Z NISMO finally gets the update we have been asking for - a sweet 6-speed manual gearbox. Power is the same from the 3.0L twin-turbo V6 - 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque, with a different tune specifically for the 6MT. Nissan also added upgraded GT-R-derived front brake rotors for improved heat management and track durability, along with a revised fuel tank to avoid starvation during higher-g driving. The regular Z lineup also gets a refreshed front end with a cleaner grille design, updated exterior details, new color options, and small tech updates like a wireless phone charger with built-in cooling. #nissan #nismo #nissanz #nismoz 0:00 2026 Nissan Z Performance 8:15 2027 Nissan Z Nismo 23:25 Final Thoughts Vehicle was provided by the manufacturer for testing and review.
