Inspired by the 1969 S30-generation sports car, the Z Heritage Edition features an exclusive paint color Sight Orange combined with a black decal on the hood that extends to the roof and trunk lid. Side stickers and a Heritage Edition logo around the Z emblems on the rear fenders complete the nostalgic look. The split front grille also nods to the design of the original Z.
Comparison with the Japanese Version
Although the Japanese version, known as the Fairlady Z Customized Edition, features a retro badge on the upper grille and rear spoiler, the American version is just as impressive. It includes subtle fender extensions and the same 19-inch black-finished wheels, giving a modern touch to the classic design.
Specifications and Price in the US
In the United States, the Z Heritage Edition is based on the Z Performance trim level and offers six-speed manual or nine-speed automatic transmission options. The starting price is $60,275, including destination and handling fees, representing a $6,165 premium over the regular Z Performance. For enthusiasts seeking more performance, the Z Nismo is available for $66,890, but only with automatic transmission.
Limited Production and Sales Performance
Nissan hasn’t disclosed how many units will be produced, but we know that the Z Heritage Edition is limited and exclusively for the 2024 model year. In the first quarter, U.S. sales of the Z increased by 44%, totaling 671 units, comfortably surpassing the Toyota Supra, which saw a 44.4% decline in sales.
