New 2027 Nissan Z | Puyallup, WA
The 2027 Nissan Z in Puyallup, WA
400 horsepower from a twin-turbo V6, a six-speed manual on every grade, and a NISMO that now offers the manual too, with GT-R-derived front brake rotors.

What Changed for 2027
The NISMO Finally Gets Three Pedals
The headline for 2027 is that the Z NISMO can be ordered with a six-speed manual and an upgraded clutch. Until now the NISMO was automatic only, which was the single most common complaint about it. Nissan also gave the NISMO GT-R-derived front brake rotors, at 15.0 inches with a two-piece iron and aluminum construction.
The Sport and Performance grades get a restyled front bumper and grille drawing on Nissan's older sports cars, and the Performance picks up larger-diameter shock absorbers. There is a new Shinkai Green Pearl Metallic paint, and the fuel tank was revised so track sessions stay consistent as the level drops.
The engine is unchanged and did not need changing. The 3.0-liter VR30DDTT twin-turbo V6 makes 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft in Sport and Performance, and 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft in the NISMO. See what we have in the Z inventory.

The Shape and the Cabin
Wheels, brakes, seats and trim differ substantially between Sport, Performance and NISMO.
Photos show the current-generation Z, which carries into 2027 with a restyled front bumper and grille on Sport and Performance grades.
Why the Z Works Here
Six Reasons It Belongs in the Northwest
A rear-drive twin-turbo coupe with a manual option is a rare thing to still be able to buy new. The roads east of here are the reason to.
400 HP From a Twin-Turbo V6
The 3.0-liter VR30DDTT makes 400 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 350 lb-ft from 1,600 to 5,600 rpm. That torque band is wide, which is what makes the Z easy to drive quickly on a road you do not know.
A Six-Speed Manual on Every Grade
The close-ratio six-speed manual is available across Sport, Performance and NISMO for 2027. The NISMO gaining the manual with an upgraded clutch is the biggest news the car has had in years.
NISMO Brakes From the GT-R
15.0-inch two-piece iron and aluminum front rotors derived from the GT-R, with 13.8-inch rears. On a descent off Chinook Pass, brake capacity is not a number you want to be short of.
420 HP in NISMO Trim
The NISMO steps up to 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft, with NISMO suspension tuning, stiffer springs, retuned larger dampers and Dunlop SP SPORT MAXX GT600 tires on 19-inch RAYS forged wheels.
Three Genuinely Different Grades
Sport runs 18-inch wheels on Yokohama ADVAN Sport tires with cloth seats. Performance adds 19-inch RAYS forged wheels, Bridgestone Potenza S007 tires, bigger brakes, Bose audio and leather. These are different cars, not trim levels.
New Shinkai Green Pearl Metallic
A new colour for 2027. Worth seeing in person under Northwest light before you order it, which is as good a reason to visit as any.
Interior and Technology
What You Give Up, and What You Get
Be clear-eyed about the Z. It is a two-seat rear-drive coupe. There is no all-wheel drive, and on a wet Pierce County morning that is something you plan around with good tires and a light right foot. It is not the car for the school run.
What you get in return is a twin-turbo V6 with a manual gearbox, in a market where that combination is close to extinct. Sport comes with a 8-inch touchscreen and cloth seats. Performance moves to a 9-inch navigation display, Bose 8-speaker audio, heated power seats, leather, wireless Apple CarPlay and a wireless charger. NISMO adds exclusive Recaro seats and a leather and Alcantara interior.

Puyallup, Tacoma and Pierce County
The Roads That Justify It
The case for a Z in Puyallup is not the commute. It is what is within ninety minutes. SR-410 climbs east toward Chinook Pass, SR-123 and SR-706 wind around the south side of Mount Rainier, and SR-16 crosses the Tacoma Narrows Bridge toward the Kitsap Peninsula. These are the roads a rear-drive coupe with 350 lb-ft was designed for.
Two practical notes. Chinook Pass closes for the winter, so check WSDOT before you plan a crossing. And the Z is rear-wheel drive with no all-wheel-drive option, so a set of proper tires matters more here than it would in a drier state. Plenty of owners keep a second set.
Our service department handles Z maintenance, and our finance team can work through the numbers. Allocation on the Z is limited, so calling first is worth the two minutes.
The Mountain Roads
SR-410 to Chinook Pass, SR-123 and SR-706 around Mount Rainier. Check WSDOT for seasonal closures before you go, because Chinook shuts for the winter.
The Peninsula Run
SR-16 over the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and out toward Gig Harbor and the Kitsap Peninsula. A good morning drive that does not require a whole weekend.
Tires Matter Here
Rear-wheel drive and no AWD option. In a market this wet, tire choice does more for the Z's year-round usability than any other single decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
2027 Nissan Z Questions
What is new on the 2027 Nissan Z?
The biggest change is that the Z NISMO can now be ordered with a six-speed manual transmission and an upgraded clutch. The NISMO also gains GT-R-derived 15.0-inch two-piece front brake rotors.
Sport and Performance grades get a restyled front bumper and grille, Performance adds larger-diameter shock absorbers, and a new Shinkai Green Pearl Metallic paint joins the range.
Does the 2027 Nissan Z come with a manual transmission?
Yes. A six-speed close-ratio manual is available on Sport, Performance and NISMO grades. A 9-speed automatic is the alternative.
The NISMO manual is new for 2027 and comes with an upgraded clutch. It was the single most requested change to that car.
How much horsepower does the 2027 Nissan Z have?
Sport and Performance grades make 400 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 350 lb-ft of torque from 1,600 to 5,600 rpm, from a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6.
The Z NISMO raises that to 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft, with its torque peak spread from 2,000 to 5,200 rpm.
Does the Nissan Z come with all-wheel drive?
No. The Z is rear-wheel drive only, with no all-wheel-drive option.
In a wet market like the South Sound that is worth planning around. A good set of tires makes a large difference to how usable the Z is between October and April, and many owners run a dedicated winter set.
What is the difference between the Z Sport and Z Performance?
Sport runs 18-inch gray aluminum wheels on Yokohama ADVAN Sport tires, 12.6-inch front brakes, an 8-inch touchscreen, six speakers and cloth seats.
Performance moves to 19-inch RAYS forged wheels on Bridgestone Potenza S007 tires, 14.0-inch front brakes, larger-diameter shocks for 2027, Bose 8-speaker audio, a 9-inch navigation display, heated power seats and leather. The hardware differences go well beyond equipment.
What gas mileage does the 2027 Nissan Z get?
Sport and Performance rate 18 city, 24 highway and 20 combined with the manual, or 19, 28 and 22 with the automatic. The NISMO rates 16, 21 and 18 with the manual and 17, 24 and 19 with the automatic.
The automatic is the more economical choice on paper. Most buyers who want the manual have already made peace with that.
Can I test drive a 2027 Nissan Z in Puyallup?
Yes, subject to availability. The Z is a low-volume car and allocation is limited, so call (253) 848-4507 before making the drive.
We are at 101 Valley Ave NW in Puyallup, convenient to Tacoma, Auburn, Federal Way and the rest of the South Sound. Tell us which grade and transmission you want and we will be straight with you about what is coming.
