How we verify Nissan Z performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Nissan Z trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Nissan Z performance FAQs

6 questions
The quickest Nissan Z on record is the 2024 Nissan Z NISMO Coupe, which runs 0–60 mph in 3.9 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 12.40 seconds at 114.0 mph.
The slowest recorded Nissan Z is the 2023 Nissan Z Performance Coupe, which takes 4.9 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 13.50 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 8 verified runs, a Nissan Z reaches 60 mph in 4.39 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 12.84 seconds at roughly 110.9 mph.
We have verified test data for 2 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend and Motor Week. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Nissan Z can do, not a single marketing claim.
