2023 Nissan Z is retro-cool

The latest Nissan Z may share the same underpinnings with its predecessor, but it's still 80% new and that's more than enough.

Craig Cole
Craig brought 15 years of automotive journalism experience to the Cars team. A lifelong resident of Michigan, he's as happy with a wrench or welding gun in hand as he is in front of the camera or behind a keyboard. When not hosting videos or cranking out features and reviews, he's probably out in the garage working on one of his project cars. He's fully restored a 1936 Ford V8 sedan and then turned to resurrecting another flathead-powered relic, a '51 Ford Crestliner. Craig has been a proud member of the Automotive Press Association (APA) and the Midwest Automotive Media Association (MAMA).

An 8-inch infotainment screen serves base duty, but you can get a generous 9-incher, which also supports wireless Apple CarPlay.

A trio of gauge pods is mounted on the dashboard, a retro touch.

Motivation comes courtesy of a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6. It delivers 400 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, way more of each than the outgoing model.

Those taillights were inspired by Z32 model from the 1990s -- and they look really cool.
