Nissan Celebrates 55 Years of Z History with Heritage Edition Model
In a celebration of its rich sports car legacy, Nissan is marking 55 years of the iconic Z series with the release of the 2024 Nissan Z Heritage Edition. This limited-edition model is designed to pay homage to the legendary S30-generation Datsun 240Z, first unveiled in 1969, featuring a unique color scheme and exclusive design elements reminiscent of the classic sports car.
Distinctive Design and Exclusive Features
The 2024 Nissan Z Heritage Edition stands out with its exclusive New Sight Orange paint, a nod to the original S30’s iconic orange bodywork. The exterior is further distinguished by a new front fascia featuring more rectangular grille openings, 19-inch alloy wheels, and fender extensions, all of which harken back to the design of the historic 240Z. The striking orange bodywork is complemented by a black hood decal, bodyside decals, and special Heritage Edition decals around the Z emblems aft of the quarter windows.
Performance and Power
Based on the Z Performance grade, the Heritage Edition offers two transmission options: a 6-speed manual or a 9-speed automatic. Under the hood, it boasts a powerful twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine, delivering an impressive 400 horsepower. Performance enthusiasts will appreciate the inclusion of a mechanical limited-slip differential, Nissan Performance brakes with red calipers, and other high-performance features that enhance both road and track driving experiences.
Honoring a Legacy
The Z series has a storied history of delivering driving excitement, and the Heritage Edition is the latest in a long line of special edition models that honor this tradition. With its blend of nostalgic design and modern performance, the 2024 Nissan Z Heritage Edition is a fitting tribute to 55 years of Z history, celebrating the enduring appeal and thrill of the iconic sports car.
