The U.S. configurator for the 2023 Nissan Z has just been released, a few months after the online tool first went live in Australia. In the U.S., the new sports car is available in Z Sport, Z Performance, and Z Proto Spec guises, all of which can be ordered with either a 9-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual transmission. Once you choose your perfect Z (we opted for the Z Performance with the six-speed), you’re left with the choice between six two-tone paint options alongside three solid color choices. We have gone with the US$ 1,695 two-tone Passion Red TriCoat / Super Black configuration.
Other options available include dual
racing stripes across the roof and decklid, slash guards, a clear hood
protector, and exterior ground lighting. Three interior configurations are
available, consisting of graphite leather with synthetic suede, red leather
with synthetic suede, and blue leather with synthetic suede. Among the interior
options include premium carpeted floor mats, all-season floor mats, interior
door scuff protection, dual camera driver recorder, virtual key, a USB charging
cable set, interior accent lighting, illuminated kick plates, a cargo net,
cargo cover, frameless rearview mirror, and some other small options.
The release of this configurator comes a
few months after Nissan announced U.S. pricing for the 2023 Z. Kicking off the
range is the Z Sport that’s available from US$ 39,990, regardless of whether it
has the six-speed manual or the nine-speed automatic. Sitting above this
variant is the Z Performance, priced from US$ 49,990 regardless of the
transmission. Topping out the range is the US$ 52,990 Z Proto Spec of which just
240 examples will be produced for the U.S., many of which are currently being
sold with staggering dealer markups.
