After a couple of years spent lusting after Japan's retro-licious Fairlady Z Customized Edition, U.S. customers can now get their hands on the same special Z in the form of the limited-production Heritage Edition. It's gracing our shores to celebrate 55 years since the Datsun 240Z's 1969 launch, though it won't be returning after its short run for the 2024 model year.
The special touches include a retro-inspired fix for the grille and a tasty shade of Sight Orange paint, which is paired with a black decal spanning the hood, roof, and trunk lid. Other special details include a black stripe running along the sides of the car, an exclusive design for the Z logo on the rear quarter panel, a black finish for the 19-inch wheels, and slightly wider fenders.
The Heritage Edition is equipped to match the Z Performance trim level, and its 400-hp twin-turbo V6 can be paired with either a six-speed manual or a nine-speed automatic. It costs $60,275 with destination, which is a $6,000 premium over the Z Performance and a decent bit more than the entry-level Z. And if you're looking for something a bit more hardcore, you can ditch the retro-themed garb and spring for a $66,890 Z Nismo, though the the extra 20 horses can't be paired with a manual.
Nissan hasn't told us exactly how many Z Heritage Edition models it plans to build, but since it's a 2024-only affair, we'd recommend that interested buyers inquire as soon as possible.
