2024 Nissan Z NISMO - POV First Impressions

The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones, headphones are highly recommended!

Thanks for watching!

The red makes this thing look 1000x better than the press color. I’m never a fan of when manufacturers force an accent color on the outside of the car. Keep the red trim as an option only.

I love how they finally fixed the shape of the grill. It looks magnitudes better!

[Moey-usfg]

Love this car. Congratulations on 600k subs. The best point of view car channel on YouTube, hands down.

About the downshifts:

this version of the automatic has revised clutch packs with extra plates promising quicker shifting, particularly downshifts which now take half as long as other models, Nissan says.

[saar]

I personally think the steering wheel on the Z looks super cool.

[DoctorMotorcycle]

Auto only on the high-performance version? A 20HP bump on a Twin Turbo V6? Starts at $60k? L Nissan

[kevinryan]

As much as I like it, I just can't fathom paying $60k+ for this

[sake]

Glad to see they fixed the grill. The huge rectangular grill on the normal just always looked off to me and was my biggest gripe styling wise. This grill fits the overall lines of the car much better. Shame there won't be a manual, but hopefully they'll add that option in the near future. Dealer markups are going to be insane on this car for sure.

Love the engine starting up in the beginning.

[AdamJRichardson]

That color looks fantastic, and I like the styling updates they've made. Sounds good! Have yet to see a single new Z on the road, which is weird.

[danderegil]

Not a big fan of red, but it sure ooks great on that Z NISMO. Keep up the great work, man!

[madrx]

I've been searching every day for Nissan Z Nismo content since I ordered my one last week. I can't wait for proper drive reviews.

[Ithinksono]

Dig the color. I'm sure dealers are going to be selling these for ridiculous amounts though. Still can't imagine why someone would by the new Z over other options.

[BenTroxell]

The people standing and staring at you in the background 😂

[jraybay]

I was able to see this car out in the wild for the first time 🇨🇦 I saw a gunmetal gray pearl looking one, and it was striking. Beautiful car and a nice clean sound

[ChummiaChan]

Can't wait to buy and drive one when I get the chance!

[matthewthedude]

I almost never like red cars but DAMN that thing is beautiful in red!

[paulitik]

Looks amazing. No manual, won’t even consider it.

[Flysh]

Thing sounds like my old chevy cav at idle, that lifter tick on a 60k car is just hilariously unacceptable

[AceFTW]

They made the front end a lot nicer to look at but now the rear kinda looks like an Elantra N... a bit too much elegance traded for aggressiveness there for me.
