Nissan North America is undergoing a nostalgic phase. After launching two R35 special editions featuring Bayside Blue and Midnight Purple paint finishes, the Japanese automaker cranked it up to 11 with the Z Heritage Edition.

OVERVIEW

• The 2024 Nissan Z Heritage Edition pays tribute to its illustrious history with old-school color and one-of-a-kind style characteristics.
• The New Sight Orange paint, exterior decals, and front fascia make this Z stand out from the rest in true heritage style.
• With a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 engine, 400 horsepower, and a six- or nine-speed transmission, this Z promises an exhilarating driving experience.

Exterior Design

The Nissan Z commemorates its 55th anniversary with the limited-production 2024 Nissan Z Heritage Edition. Specifically, the Heritage Edition of the new Nissan Z celebrates the iconic Datsun 240Z, a car that solidified the Z’s reputation for ageless design and sensational driving dynamics. Taking center stage is the New Sight Orange paint job, an authentic recreation of a hue provided on the original S30-generation Datsun. 

Special Heritage Edition decals and blacked-out exterior badges add a touch of exclusivity, while broader fenders housing 19-inch wheels further intensify the assertive stance. Moreover, the visual homage extends to the front fascia. Nissan has revamped it with black accents and more prominent rectangular intakes, while stripes flowing down the roof, hood, and trunk lid cement the retro appearance. Enthusiasts will likely appreciate the subtle nod to the past without sacrificing the Z’s contemporary appeal.

What are the Performance Specifications of the 2024 Nissan Z?

Performance remains a core element of the Z experience. For example, the Heritage Edition borrows the powertrain from the Z Performance trim, presenting a robust twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 accelerating up to 400 horsepower and generating 350 pound-feet of torque. This muscular engine sends power directly to the rear wheels and is mated to either a six-speed manual or a nine-speed automatic transmission. 

Even though the automatic offers slightly faster acceleration to 60 miles per hour, the manual transmission guarantees a more engaging driving experience for buyers who crave a seamless link with the sports car. For confident handling, the Z Heritage Edition profits from Nissan Performance brakes and a limited-slip differential. These updates ensure the vehicle delivers a breathtaking and dynamic ride, staying true to the Z’s heritage.

A Convenient Cabin

Stepping inside, the Heritage Edition maintains a familiar layout shared with the standard Z. The two-seater offers a well-equipped and comfortable atmosphere for the driver and passenger. Synthetic suede and leather upholstery with power and heating adjustability heighten the interior experience.

Technological upgrades are also a boon. Indeed, the automaker outfits the Z Heritage Edition with a nine-inch touchscreen infotainment system featuring Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay for smooth smartphone incorporation. Bluetooth, voice commands, navigation, and SiriusXM radio round out the suite of features.

Cost of the 2024 Nissan Z

Although pricing for the Z Nismo, the top-tier trim, exceeds $65,000 MSRP (Plus destination fee), the Z Heritage Edition sits comfortably in the middle ground. Granted, beginning with a price tag of $59,135 MSRP (Plus destination fee), it illustrates a significant uptick compared to the Z Performance trim, starting at approximately $53,000 MSRP (Plus destination fee). Nonetheless, for customers seeking a limited-edition Z with a riveting driving experience and a healthy dose of nostalgia, the Z Heritage Edition offers a compelling proposition.
