We Now Know the New Z’s Fuel Consumption Figures

We now know the fuel consumption figures for the new Z sports car coming to market this spring, this even if Nissan has yet to confirm any official numbers.

What owners get will depend, of course, on the transmission they choose. The manual gearbox could well be the most popular configuration among buyers of this sporty car – and it is the standard unit - but it will cost them more in gas if it is. In this configuration, expect 11.9L/100 km.

As for the optional automatic transmission, a 9-speed automatic unit with paddle shifters, it will deliver 10.6L/100 km in combined driving.

Nissan’s next-generation Z two-seat coupe comes with 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine, the same as found in the Q50 Red sport sedan and Q60 Red sport coupe over at Infiniti, albeit with a few tweaks. Output is 400 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque.
