Nissan Unveils 2027 Z With 5 Heritage Cues and Manual NISMO Option

Summary
Five heritage callbacks headline Nissan’s 2027 Z update, from an S30-style split grille and standalone Z badge to a startup animation that cycles through seven generations before the car moves.
Performance changes back up the nostalgia pitch: Z Performance models get larger-diameter shock absorbers, while the Z NISMO adds a manual transmission option after the current version offered only an automatic.
19-inch RAYS wheels on Performance trims echo the Z31’s star-pattern rims, and the new Shinkai Green Pearl Metallic revives the original S30’s Grand Prix Green with more fade-resistant pigments.
A tan interior joins Performance grades as another S30 reference, and Nissan said the 2027 Z will reach showrooms this summer, with pricing still unannounced.
