News on BIG 2027 Z Production changes for the US

[MCN1SMO]

Here is some additional news and context about the 2027 Z production for the US. The rumor of Nissan shifting to a build to order style production with the Z was true. 2027 will be very limited and dealers will be able to order on average just 3 Zs for this model year. It is yet to be seen if this is Nissan sun setting the RZ34 right after its first major facelift. The good news is initially it seems the tan interior is available on a variety of colors not just the new green. Speaking of that green it is called "Unryu Green" in Japan but has been changed to "Shinkai Green" for the US market. As of posting this it cannot be ordered and there is no available color code. These might be hard to aquire early. Green will be produced starting in June 2026

As for the NISMO the US gets all the 2027 upgrades ive gone over on here previously but wireless charging is a additional small update.
Again this seems to mark a real shift for how the Z will be sold in the US . This will not be 2024 all over again so if you want one of these be proactive

Wireless charger is interesting. I wonder how easy it would be to retrofit?

I still don't believe Nissan will go order only and limit production. Z sales have been steadily increasing every model year, what kind of logic is that?

Well, it is Nissan after all, I guess.....

what if I told you that graphic was from nissan

"Scarce production ahead" is basically a go ahead for another round of price gouging, especially on the Nismo MT

Sign me up for this too; the spot is so obvious it should have been there since 2023.

less than 3 Zs per dealer? This will totally kill this car. I was plaining to buy 2027 Z but if there is market adjustment on this car I will get ether Mustang GT or BMW m240i

 

[speedjuno]

If Nissan limits production they are mis-interpreting their market. I get looks, complements & interest All the time. And. The Z is an affordable, very daily driveable sports car and a rolling reputation advertisement. Nissan should be pursuing market share.

 

[MCN1SMO]

for the 2024 model year nissan made in my estimation conservatively 2000-2500 more Zs than they should have and way exceeded the demand. it led to massive discounts and many left to sit on lots really hurting the used market ( not that the used market is of nissans concern) for 2025 and 2026 model they course corrected and this 2027 seems like a new strategy going forward as long as the Z lasts.

 

[KrackaC8]

1,082 Nissan dealerships in the US = 3,246 vehicles produced for the US market, assuming all are ordered.

 

[MCN1SMO]

There were over 7k 2024s for context 2025s I'm not sure maybe 2500? For 2026 I'm not sure at least 1500

Yea its a good strategy business wise. A lot of folks will grab 24s 25s 26s to satisfy their itch, plenty still available. 2027s will be a hit ! RZ34 is a halo car now so it's great advertisement for Nissan over all.

 

[MCN1SMO]

midnight purple is a one and done

tan interior can be paired with green black red and I cant remember maybe white?

I’m glad I got my 2025 Z when I did. It seemed like forever before I found the red I wanted, without a bunch of options I didn’t want and crazy dealer add-ons. I got a nice discount and a low interest loan, too. It’s been a dream come true. A truly wonderful ride.

Nissan is desperately trying this business move, but will end up with exorbitant pricing plus dealer gouging! The Z’s future is already decided. No way the content justifies this type of pricing by demand. Glad I grabbed my 2025 at discounted deal!!!
