2027 Nissan Z Horsepower and Engine 🡫
At the heart of the 2027 Nissan Z is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engineered with direct injection gasoline fuel delivery, twin turbochargers, aluminum block and head construction, and Nissan’s Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System. The engine also features an 86.0 x 86.0 mm bore and stroke, a 10.3 compression ratio, and a maximum engine speed of 6,800 rpm.
For 2027, Nissan made updates across the Z lineup to support performance during aggressive driving. Fuel tank revisions are designed to help keep fuel positioned around the fuel pump during sustained high-G cornering, helping maintain consistent fuel delivery on the track or during spirited driving.

2027 Nissan Z Performance Features🡫
The 2027 Nissan Z Performance trim adds equipment that helps sharpen control and confidence behind the wheel. A mechanical clutch-type limited-slip differential, SynchroRev Match on manual models, and larger-diameter monotube shock absorbers all contribute to a more responsive drive. Braking performance is supported by 14.0-inch front vented disc rotors and 13.8-inch rear vented disc rotors.
The Z NISMO takes performance even further with track-focused upgrades. New GT-R-derived two-piece front brake rotors help reduce weight by 19 pounds, while the available six-speed manual transmission includes an upgraded clutch and a shorter shift stroke. Nissan also retuned the NISMO suspension and reduced steering rack internal friction by 20 percent for improved response.
