Nissan Z vs Toyota GR Supra: 0–60 and Quarter-Mile Comparison

This comparison looks at verified acceleration results for the Nissan Z and Toyota GR Supra, covering 0–60 mph times, quarter-mile times, and broader test-to-test performance trends. It draws on recorded runs across recent Nissan Z and Toyota GR Supra model years, with 8 tests for the Z and 19 for the Supra.

In production form, the GR Supra holds the quicker 0–60 mph result at 3.7 seconds, 0.2 second ahead of the Z’s best 3.9-second run. It also leads the production quarter-mile comparison, with a best of 12.1 seconds versus 12.4 seconds for the Z. The fastest overall 0–60 result here is also a Supra, but that 3.3-second pass came from a lightly modified 2021 3.0 OpenFlash Performance Coupe, so it is separate from the production record.

Methodology

All 0–60 and quarter-mile results are sourced from independently published road tests by reputable automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed times are not included. When multiple publications test the same vehicle, each run is listed separately. Production and non-production results are clearly distinguished throughout. Fastest 0–60 and fastest quarter-mile records are treated as independent measurements and may come from different tests, trims, or sources.
