Nismo Z Manual almost here!?

[trackratZ]

One of the comments below the article questions the pics as a Perf and the author of the article responds that it is in fact a NISMO and he took the pics himself. You could say it's bogus because the car's literally a Perf, but the proof for me is that it is completely and absolutely unimaginable that Nissan would create a NISMO vehicle without at least one prominent NISMO badge on it somewhere.

The pics are definitely a Performance, no doubt, and yes Torquenews is mostly clickbait. But Raiti's Youtube at the bottom, even if shows a current auto Nismo, does point to an upcoming Nismo Manual. We know it's coming but probably a 2027 model. Still waiting to see if anything else is different from the auto.

Just went to the Nissan website where you could order your Nissan if you want to.
The 2026 Nismo is available to order now... only 9AT
I am starting to doubt that the writer of the piece had an actual MT Nismo for seven days. If that is not true, this guy is not click-bait; he is actually fake news... a lair...

If it's coming in '27, I'd be tempted. Bought my '24 Sport (manual) in Oct '24 from across the country because the dealers near me had addons and mark-ups. Different Z world now.

Swapped in a performance LSD, Blue leather, and other mods. Over paid, but just like most, it's really grown on me because I've made it mine.

It's not my daily, so she really wants to run when I take her out for a spin. The new manual Nismo may change my mind, however. We will see what games are played when it comes out....

Hoping dealers won't go crazy with mark-ups on the manual, seeing lots more interest. Plus because it's one of the last remaining manuals you can buy in sports cars and coupes. If Nissan keeps the susp tuning the same and the manual is beefy enough, would be a great Z!!
