[NEWS] Nissan Z gains "Purple Heritage Edition"

This article says the Nismo Z doesn't come in manual, but the article 
posted a few days ago said it will have a manual ... looks like a wait 
and see to find out which one is correct.



    2026 Nissan Z Gains Purple Heritage Edition
    That's A '90s Throwback With Twin Turbo Graphics
    ------------------------------------------------
    Nissan finally introduced a redesigned seventh-generation of
    its iconic Z in 2023, and it brought with it a significant
    dose of nostalgia. The new Z is still built on a modified
    version of the antiquated 370Z's platform, but you can't
    tell by looking at it. For the first time on a 21st-century
    Z car, its exterior styling is immediately identifiable as a
    nod to the legendary Z cars of the 20th century, complete
    with retro badges and throwback taillights. 

    Now, Nissan is offering a new Heritage Edition of the Z with
    a carbon-fiber rear spoiler with a "Twin Turbo" badge and
    bronze "Twin Turbo" graphics on the sides that match the
    bronze 19-inch Rays wheels and contrast nicely with the
    Midnight Purple paint from the Nissan GT-R.

    The 2026 Nissan Z is available in Sport, Performance, and
    Nismo grades, and the Heritage Edition package is an
    exclusive option for 2026 Nissan Z Performance models. Other
    updates for 2026 include a new Boulder Gray exterior color
    for Sport and Performance cars, paired with a contrasting
    black roof.

    The Z doesn't need massive changes
    The 2026 Nissan Z comes standard in Sport trim with a
    twin-turbocharged 3-liter V6 that produces 400 horsepower and
    350 pound-feet of torque, and it continues to be offered with
    either a six-speed manual transmission or a nine-speed
    automatic with paddle shifters. Stepping up to a Nissan Z
    Performance brings a mechanical limited-slip differential,
    high-performance tires, and Nissan Performance brakes. Opting
    for the top-spec Nissan Z Nismo pushes horsepower output up to
    420 and torque up to 384 lb-ft, and a faster-shifting automatic
    transmission (no manual is offered on Nismo Zs), Nismo-tuned
    suspension and brakes, aerodynamically revised bodywork, wider
    wheels, and an even more aggressive tire.

    All Z Sports come standard with an 8-inch touchscreen
    infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto,
    adaptive cruise control, push-button start, a leather-wrapped
    steering wheel, and 18-inch wheels. Performance trim gets a
    9-inch infotainment system with navigation and a Wi-Fi hotspot,
    an eight-speaker Bose audio system, heated side mirrors,
    aluminum sport pedals, and heated leather seats. Nismo cars get
    Recaro seats and an Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel with a red
    12 o-clock marker and a red start button. Prices for 2026
    Nissan Zs have yet to be announced, but Nissan says the cars
    will reach dealer lots this month.
