❗️Nissan is finally giving purists what they’ve been asking for, a manual transmission in the Z NISMO. The current Z NISMO packs 420 hp and 384 lb-ft from a twin-turbo 3.0L V6 but has only been sold with a 9-speed automatic. Nissan Americas chairman Christian Meunier confirmed that a manual option is officially on the way. The gearbox will likely be a tuned version of the 6-speed already found in the standard Z. Release timing is unclear, with speculation ranging from mid-2026 to the 2027 model year. This move restores the hands-on driving experience enthusiasts expect from a NISMO-badged Z.
