Nissan New Zealand has just announced the pricing of the all-new Z sports coupe that arrives here mid-year.

The Z has a 3-litre twin-turbo V6 that produces 298kW and 475Nm, making it faster, more powerful, and with improved power-to-weight over its predecessor.

The legendary Z is to be introduced at $84,990 in manual and automatic transmission.

To celebrate the launch, a special edition Proto Spec flagship version, exclusively in Ikazuchi Yellow paintwork topped by a Super Black roof, will be offered until sold out.

The Z Proto Spec, with its bespoke interior and 19-inch bronze forged alloy wheels enclosing yellow brake calipers, will be priced at $92,990 in manual and automatic transmission.
