Nissan Motor Corporation’s first allocation of 100 Z Nismo cars for Australian delivery in late 2023 has been spoken for in record time.
Under 60 minutes, in fact.
Some 50 Australian buyers holding existing orders for the Nissan Z Coupe and Nissan Z Proto, were contacted by their dealers and took the opportunity to swap out for the Z Nismo, leaving 50 units to be sold online at from 11am AEST on August 10.
It took 11 minutes for the first 22 vehicles to be reserved, and by 11.30am a total of 40 Z Nismo cars had been allocated. The remaining 10 vehicles in this delivery run were reserved by 11.53am.
The flagship model in the Z range will arrive in a single performance-focused grade, and will be priced at $94,000 MSRP*.
“The Z Nismo is a true sports car flagship, with Nissan’s engineers leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of performance,” Nissan Australia managing director Adam Paterson says.
“We wanted to extend our thanks to those already awaiting their Z by offering them a chance to secure a Z Nismo, while still ensuring this special vehicle is made available to Z fans across the country,” he says.
The reservation system will work in partnership with Nissan’s dealer network, which will assist in preparing and delivering every vehicle. The remaining available reservations will be taken on a first come, first served basis and are subject to entering a sale contract with a Nissan dealer.
Customers were able to build their Z Nismo online, personalise their vehicle’s colour, choosing from Black Diamond Metallic, Brilliant Silver with a Super Black roof, Everest White with a Super Black Roof, or Stealth Gray with a Black roof.
The customer was asked to nominate the Nissan dealer they wished to purchase the vehicle from, and place a reservation fee of $1000 AUD to offer to purchase their Z Nismo.
Given the strictly limited vehicle numbers, payment of a reservation fee did not guarantee purchase of a vehicle and the fee is fully refundable prior to signing a contract of sale. Reservations were limited to one per customer, and third party resellers will not be eligible.
The Z Nismo will be joined by the MY24 Nissan Z, now $75,800 (MSRP)*, which introduces the option of a striking blue interior treatment choice, joining the standard black and optional black and red interior options.
The MY24 Nissan Z also introduces a vibrant new exterior colour, New Site Orange, which joins Rosewood Metallic, Black Diamond Metallic, Gun Metallic, Seiran Blue with Super Black Roof, Ikazuchi Yellow with Super Black Roof, Everest White Tri Coat with Super Black Roof, Brilliant Silver with Super Black Roof and Boulder Gray with Super Black Roof on the Nissan Z’s comprehensive colour palette.
