After the unveiling of the new and much-anticipated Z from Nissan, we got the chance to spend some personal time with the car at Z Con in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where the new Z was unveiled in person to hundreds of fans from around the world.

Z Con is an annual gathering of Nissan sports car enthusiasts that combines amateur short track GT racing, drift competitions, drag strip runs, and good times for everyone. What better place for Nissan to unveil the latest of the Z line?

Enthusiasts, from Datsun to Z owners, were exuberant about the new Nissan Z with several around me commenting they were going to put in an order for one as soon as the car went on sale. Not surprising, as this crowd is clearly its core market.

The 2023 Nissan Z is the seventh generation for the Z car, sporting a twin-turbo V6 that outputs 400 horsepower (298 kW). We went over all of its details when it surfaced last week. At Z Con we had the chance to photograph the Performance model and see details of the car for ourselves.

This gallery is the result. Enjoy!

V6 in 2023? Seriously? actually, we are entering the electric era
David Foster
Nice, I did not like the last (current?) style too much, bland, I liked the last 2 versions. Maybe there will be an electric version but I doubt we are seeing the end of V6 or gas engines anytime soon, you can't just throw out most of your base like that, few of these owners would go for an electric only version as of now
Christian Lassen
I might just break up with Subaru over this one. Looks amazing

"V6 in 2023? Seriously?"

Many models of the Infiniti line use a close version of this 3.0 TT V6 and have for many years. So, it's not like they created the engine from scratch for the Z.

I think that is amazing. I have something to save up for.

borisabdul & JerryGrimes, what are you guys moaning about? It is not like there is anything that can be done to prevent environmental collapse as long as humanity is allowed to swell by billions more, so we might as well go out having as much fun as we can.
