The limited-edition Nissan Z Proto – a flagship launch offer – sold out in Australia before its first arrival in the showroom, the company said today.
The company said earlier this month that it would bring hundreds of Z Proto to the market, heading to the ‘regular’ 2023 Nissan Z mid-year launch.
This special edition jade proto adds unique bits such as ikajuchi yellow paint with black roof, matching yellow brake caliper, 19-inch bronze imitation alloy wheel and interior trim tweak.
At $ 80,700 plus on-road costs, the Z Proto is $ 7,400 more than the regular Nissan Z (জনপ্রিয় 73,300 more, including the more popular six-speed manual or nine-speed automatic before the on-road cost).
Adam Patterson, managing director of Nissan Australia, said: “The Z is the final expression of Nissan’s sports car certification and we expect the demand for this incredibly special car to be strong.”
“I am excited to confirm that all Australian products of the Z Proto Spec are now sold out.”
2023 Nissan Z Background
As of May 11, more than 1,000 Australians had deposited their hard-earned money with a dealer for their new Nissan Z (Proto or otherwise) – before the first shipment was sold here and before the price was announced.
About টাকা 1,000-down reservations come from a pool of 3,000-odd people who have “expressed interest”. Deposits vary depending on the dealer, Nissan said.
“… For those who want to preserve their own example of Z Coupe, hope is not lost. Customers are encouraged to join the ranks for the brand new Nissan Z Coupe through nissan.com.au,” Nissan added in a prepared statement today.
We’ve contacted Nissan for the latest specific order and waiting statistics, so stay tuned.
The new Nissan Z’s $ 73,300 (excluding dealer delivery and state tax) price points compare to the Y 61,990 (manual) and $ 64,490 (auto) price for the MY21 Nissan 370Z Nismo.
In terms of competitors, the best-selling Ford Mustang Fastback sells between 65,290 and $ 68,290 depending on the GT V8 transmission; A BMW 230i sells for, 70,900; And of course there’s the Toyota Supra, which currently starts at $ 87,303 and will get a manual alternative soon.
Nissan has not yet specified its plans to supply Z stocks to its national dealers, and it will try to limit dealer markups, or whether speculators will buy after selling at a profit.
Many manufacturers have been opposed to supplying the market with high-demand specialty products lately: examples of similarly popular (supply-related) Subaru BRZ, Toyota GR Yaris, and Hyundai Ioniq 5 from Suzuki Jimny come to mind.
The Nissan Z370Z sits on a modified version of the rear-wheel drive bone and uses a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 from the Infiniti Q60 Red Sport with variable valve timing and a fast-spooling small-diameter turbocharger that powers 298kW and 47m5m. Of torque
The power-to-weight has improved by 13 percent compared to the 370Z and the acceleration time has been reduced from zero to 100km / h claimed by 15 percent.
The Entrepreneur’s Gearbox is a six-speed close-ratio manual with an XD high-performance clutch and carbon-fiber composite drive shaft. It has an automatic rev-matching function. The auto is a new nine-speed unit coupled with an aluminum pedal shifter.
All Nissan Z has launch controls as a mechanical limited-slip differential and standard equipment.
Standard features of the single permanent launch variant will include leather accent seats, an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 12.3-inch TFT digital instrument cluster with three distinct display modes.
It will come standard with active noise cancellation to filter tire drones and wind noise, and active sound enhancement to widen the engine soundtrack inside the cabin.
