MECHANICAL LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
MECHANICAL LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
A new mechanical limited-slip differential helps distribute power to the driven wheel with the best grip, helping you power out of corners.
LAUNCH CONTROL
LAUNCH CONTROL
The first on any Nissan Z – available launch control helps eliminate wheel spin and hop, by holding the engine at a pre-set rpm and modulates power as you pull away to give you the fastest, most consistent acceleration every time.
6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION
In the Nissan Z, new first- and second-gear synchros are designed to help handle the powerful twin-turbo engine. Enhancing the connection, the shift mechanism has been redesigned to give a more direct, positive feeling.
9-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The one transmission that can tempt manual drivers. The Nissan Z features a new 9-speed automatic with shift-by-wire technology activated by a unique palm-shaped controller. For added thrills, you can employ the available steering wheel paddle shifters borrowed from the Nissan GT-R.
