In the world of high-performance Nissan cars, the Nismo badge carries weight. Like BMW M and Toyota’s Gazoo Racing arm, it oversees Nissan’s motorsports efforts and serves as its in-house tuning department for the automaker’s most performance-focused road car offerings. Founded in 1984, the skunkworks division has a reputation for building formidable track weapons like the GT-R Nismo, which set a lap record for volume production road cars at the famed N\u00fcrburgring back in 2013<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the department has been relatively quiet lately (likely due to the limited number of enthusiast models that have graced Nissan’s line-up in recent years), we knew it was only a matter of time before we’d see its handiwork applied to the new Z.<\/p>\n

As we noted in our first drive<\/a> of the standard Z last year, the seventh-generation machine ushered in a much-needed overhaul of Nissan’s rear-drive sports car that addressed many of its predecessor’s shortcomings, but a few laps of Las Vegas Motor Speedway’s road course revealed that there was still room for improvement in terms of outright performance prowess.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
