Nissan Z 7th Gen

The 7th generation Nissan Z, known as the RZ34, debuted for the 2023 model year as a long-awaited successor to the 370Z. Its design is a clear homage to its heritage, with a nose and profile reminiscent of the original 240Z and taillights inspired by the 1990s 300ZX. Under the hood, it uses the Infiniti Q60 Red Sport's 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, producing 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 9-speed automatic.

Collectors and enthusiasts value the Z for its straightforward, powerful formula in an age of increasingly complex sports cars. The availability of a manual transmission is a major draw, offering a more engaging driving experience that is becoming rare. Initial demand far outstripped supply, leading to significant dealer markups and high prices for early examples, particularly the limited-edition Proto Spec which featured unique yellow accents and bronze wheels.

The market for the new Z is still young, but it's beginning to show a clear trend. While early sales often exceeded MSRP, prices for standard Sport and Performance trims are settling. The average sale price sits just over $51,000, but the wide range reflects the difference between used base models and low-mileage, top-spec variants that sold during the peak of initial demand. Its strong performance and heritage-inspired design position it well for future collectibility.

Recent sales for the 7th generation Nissan Z have ranged from $34,250 for used base models to $100,500 for low-mileage special editions.
