Melbourne - The most performance-focused model in the Z range is now available for order through Nissan Australia dealerships, with the Z NISMO taking on one of the country's most challenging - and exhilarating - hill climbs to celebrate its arrival.

While the first 100-vehicle allocation sold-out in just 53 minutes - the first time a Z vehicle was able to be specified and reserved online - the model is now available to be ordered through the Nissan dealer network, ensuring even more customers get to experience this benchmark performance vehicle for themselves.

"As soon as we saw the pent-up demand for the Nissan Z NISMO, and the speed at which our first allocation was exhausted, we knew there would be fans of this iconic vehicle who had missed out on securing one for themselves," says Nissan Australia Managing Director, Andrew Humberstone.

"That is why I'm so thrilled we've been able to secure additional vehicles to meet that demand. The Z NISMO is now available to be ordered through our Nissan dealer network, with deliveries to begin almost immediately.

"The Z NISMO is a vehicle that needs to be driven to be believed, and we're so happy that even more Australians will now get the chance to do exactly that."

Lake Mountain is one of Australia's most-celebrated roads, and a favourite for performance-car testing, owing both to the number and variety of corners along its 20km length.

Climbing from Marysville in Victoria to the top of the Cathedral Range State Park, it's also a road that could have been tailor-made for the Nissan Z NISMO, with demanding tarmac, challenging corners and plenty of surfaces for the rich exhaust note - enhanced by the NISMO-tuned Active Sound Control - and the roar of the 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged petrol V6 to bounce off.

The NISMO is the most powerful model in the Z range, increasing its already generous outputs by 11kW and 45Nm - now 309kW and 520Nm. But the performance upgrades don't stop there.

A NISMO-tuned nine-speed automatic with paddle shifters is deployed for maximum acceleration and driver control, while wider and lighter wheels (+0.5-inches), bigger brakes (front brake rotors +25mm) and enhanced engine cooling all combine to increase agility, stopping power and performance.

Elsewhere, NISMO aerodynamic enhancements, a new NISMO Sport+ Driving Mode, NISMO-tuned Launch Control, NISMO tuned suspension and anti-roll bars and NISMO branded RECARO® seats complete the perfect performance package.
