The 2027 Nissan Z is a two-seat rear-wheel-drive sports coupe that picks up where the 370Z left off and keeps pushing. With a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 producing 400 horsepower, a refreshed front fascia that draws directly from the classic Datsun 240Z, and a NISMO variant that now offers a six-speed manual for the first time, the Z is one of the most complete sports car propositions in its price class. With the Toyota GR Supra exiting after the 2026 model year, the Z now holds a position in the market that almost no other vehicle can claim. Suntrup Nissan on South Lindbergh carries the 2027 Z for St. Louis enthusiasts who have been waiting for the right moment.
The 2027 Nissan Z is a two-door, two-seat sports coupe competing in an increasingly rare category of affordable, rear-wheel-drive performance cars. The twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 produces 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque in the Sport and Performance trims, with the NISMO tuned up to 420 horsepower. Both manual and automatic transmission choices are available on all three trims, and for 2027 the NISMO receives a new six-speed manual gearbox built for the level of engagement its performance output demands. The 2027 update also brings a restyled front bumper and grille that narrows the opening, sharpens the look, and improves airflow, with the Nissan badge replaced by a Z emblem on the nose. A new Shinkai Green Pearl Metallic color option, inspired by the original S30-generation Z, joins the palette. The Performance trim gains larger-diameter monotube shocks for improved ride and handling, along with 19-inch forged black wheels and an available tan interior. The NISMO receives GT-R-derived front brake rotors and a 19-pound weight reduction.


The Z is for St. Louis buyers who want driving as an experience rather than just a means of transportation. It is not a daily commuter optimized for cargo space and back seat room. It is a sports car in the traditional sense, designed to reward the driver. The Sport trim brings the Z experience at the most accessible price, with the Performance adding chassis and wheel upgrades for drivers who plan to push it harder. The NISMO is the track-focused flagship, now available with a manual for drivers who want full mechanical engagement. Available in both manual and automatic, the Z lineup gives enthusiasts choices that most sports cars in the segment no longer offer.
The Z is offered in Sport, Performance, and NISMO trims. Powertrain specs, transmission options, and available features vary by grade, and pricing scales from the Sport entry point through the NISMO.
Suntrup Nissan is an authorized Nissan dealer at 6000 South Lindbergh Boulevard in South County, St. Louis, between I-55 and Tesson Ferry Road. The 2027 Z is available at Suntrup now for St. Louis enthusiasts who are ready to see it in person.
