The Nissan Fairlady Z represents the pinnacle of Nissan's sports car heritage, blending aggressive performance with a design that respects its iconic lineage. Revered worldwide for its sharp handling and balanced driving dynamics, the Fairlady Z remains a favorite among sports car enthusiasts and collectors alike. For Kenyan drivers seeking a thrilling, high-performance coupe with unmistakable presence, the Fairlady Z delivers a compelling mix of style, power, and modern technology.
From the original 240Z to the latest twin-turbocharged iterations, the Fairlady Z has evolved into a world-class machine. The 2025 model offers a bold refresh with newly redesigned body colors, intelligent in-car features, and advanced safety systems, making it more capable and connected than ever before.
At the heart of the new Fairlady Z is a newly developed 3.0L V6 twin-turbocharged engine designed for precision and excitement. Engineered for both track and daily road performance, this powerhouse offers two distinct output configurations depending on the model:
| Model Variant | Power Output | Torque | Transmission |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base, S, ST, T | 405 HP | 475 Nm | 6-Speed Manual / 9-Speed Auto |
| NISMO | 420 HP | 520 Nm | 9-Speed Automatic Only |
Whether you opt for the driver-focused manual or the refined 9-speed automatic, the Fairlady Z provides fast, responsive shifting with power on demand. In NISMO trim, enhancements in cooling, aerodynamics, and throttle mapping push the car’s performance envelope even further.
0–100 km/h in under 5 seconds (NISMO approx. 4.3s)
Rear-wheel drive architecture with advanced chassis balance
Multi-link rear suspension for high-speed stability
Launch control and dynamic stability systems
Tuned exhaust for aggressive sound and throttle feedback
The Fairlady Z’s styling pays tribute to its classic ancestors with a modernized silhouette, sculpted body lines, and performance-focused proportions. Signature elements such as the long bonnet, short rear deck, and LED DRL lighting echo iconic Z models like the 240Z and 300ZX.
New for the 2025 model year is a fresh color palette that allows buyers to personalize their coupe in bold, expressive finishes.
