2026 Nissan Z
2026 Nissan
Z
The two-seat sports car is alive and well with Nissan's legendary Z, which purists can still get with a manual transmission (except on the NISMO). New for 2026 is the Heritage Edition package, which commemorates the fourth-generation 300ZX. This option is based on the mid-grade Performance trim but comes only with Midnight Purple paint; it also gets special graphics, bronze-finished wheels, and a carbon-fiber rear spoiler.
