The 2023 Nissan Z configurator is now live

The online configurator for the most anticipated Nissan in years has quietly gone live. Now if you head over to the Nissan USA website, you can build and price out a 2023 Nissan Z sports car.

First things first. The Nissan Z comes in three trim levels. The base Sport starts at $41,015 including destination charges. The good news is that the 400-horsepower twin-turbo V6 plucked from the Infiniti Q50 and Q60 Red Sport, as well as features like Apple CarPlay, are available even at the lowest grade.

Next up is the Performance trim, which adds exactly $10,000 to the sticker. With that you get four-piston Akebono calipers, leather seats, a Bose premium sound system, spoilers front and rear, a 1.5-way clutch-type limited-slip differential, and the wheels upgraded from stylish 18-inch 5-spokes to lightweight Rays 19-inchers. This is the trim we'd spring for, as the individual items would easily total more than 10 grand if you bought and installed them piecemeal.

Finally, there's the Proto Spec, limited to 240 units in honor of the 240Z. To us, the additional $3,000 over Performance spec for the exclusive bronze-finish Rays, yellow-painted calipers, and unique seats isn't a must, but we're pretty sure there are enough dedicated Zed-heads out there who will spring for this very limited collectible. With prices of the 240Z skyrocketing, it'll certainly be a worthwhile investment.
