At the end of Q2, Nissan had sold some 3,789 Zs compared to Toyota’s 1,231 Supras. While there’s no denying that the latter is at the end of its life cycle, it’s nevertheless an impressive delta.
Moreover, considering the ceiling of the GR Supra’s expense, the addition of a manual option to the Nismo should only help Nissan sway more potential Toyota buyers.
Possibilities and timeline
At this stage, Nissan has made no comment as to the timeline for a manual Z Nismo. However, as Carbuzz observed, the lack of an option on 2026 order forms suggests that it will be 2027 before the model gets a six-speed.
In the meantime, if you’d like to learn more about the Z line, you can head to Nissan’s website. The base Sport model currently starts at $42,970, while the Performance and Nismo start at $52,970 and $65,750, respectively.
