2024 Nissan Z Nismo Revealed with 420 HP / 384 LB-FT + Auto Transmission Only

AT only. What a mistake to not offer the MT.

We all know the Supra is a faster, more modern car. The Z relies on its driving engagement to keep up with something like the Supra, and now we get AT only…

Just an AT might not be bad, just depends on well it works...
it is just the times, not sure that Nissan will learn from the Supra.

Think about the backlash that the Supra got for being AT only… and that had a fantastic ZF 8 speed transmission! Compare that to the AT in the Z and it’s not even same league. If the new Z had the ZF 8 speed or a DCT, that’s a different story.

Note that I’m not hating on the AT as an option. I just think that the Z needs a MT to be relevant, and that the AT doesn’t compare to its rivals (Supra)

Haha…beat me to it. I agree - the ZF trans that the Supra has is a great transmission yet….purists are like ‘what about a manual’ - and if you throw in the exact same AT that the current Z has - EPIC FAIL! Anyway - hoping that Nissan will correct this wrong with the Nismo coming out in the future.

What?
Why?

If you watch any head to head review, they will say that the Z has more driver engagement which would make it a more ‘exciting’ car to some people, while the Supra is undoubtedly a better platform, more power, grip, handling, etc.

So for the most exciting Nissan Z you take away the manual, which gives the majority of the driver engagement? Which is the Z’s selling point. Blah
