The official price announcement for the 2024 Nissan Z Nismo confirms recent reports. The high-performance, 420-hp Z will kick off at $66,085, including destination, disappointing those hoping for a better deal.

Many have noted that this is quite steep, especially given that it only boasts an additional 20 horsepower compared to the standard Z. For comparison, the 400-hp Z Performance has a starting price of $53,305, and the base Sport trim can be obtained for as low as $43,305. Adding to the debate, the manual transmission is available for both those versions, unlike the Nismo, which is limited to a nine-speed automatic.

To delve deeper into what the Nismo offers and how it performs, refer to my detailed review. Here are the key highlights:

  • 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque (up by 20 hp and 34 lb-ft)
  • 19-inch forged aluminum Rays wheels equipped with GT-R’s Dunlop tires
  • Recaro seats
  • Larger 15-inch front Nismo brake rotors
  • Nismo aerodynamic components all around
  • Sport+ driving mode

Whether these additions justify the premium over a standard Z is still up for debate, especially when compared to similar sports cars from other manufacturers.

For instance, a Ford Mustang Dark Horse is priced at $60,865, and a Chevy Corvette Stingray costs $67,895. While I find the Nismo Z more enjoyable and visually appealing than the BMW M2 and six-cylinder Toyota Supra, the former starts at $63,195, and the latter is priced at $55,595.

However, do you think the $66,085 for the new Nismo Z is justified, or would you consider alternative options?
