The old Nissan 370Z has been in production since 2008. It is a dinosaur by automotive standards. Now in 2023, the Nissan Z returns but it’s not completely new. Meanwhile, the Toyota Supra that was reintroduced in 2020 finally gets what fans were demanding since its reincarnation. A manual transmission. So with both of these “400 hp” sports cars being new, how do they stack up against each other?
Disclosure: I had the opportunity to test drive both cars at the beginning of December which means cold temperatures and ice on the roads. Both vehicles were equipped with performance summer tires which provide little to no grip when temperatures are hovering around the freezing mark. So unfortunately I was not able to fully explore the dynamics of each vehicle. I couldn’t even reach half their potential for fear of crashing. So this review will be a first drive impression of these cars. But I will try to bring these two together again in the Spring or Summer of 2023 for a proper review.
Starting with the new car first, the 2023 Nissan Z is actually made up of older parts. The chassis is a modified version of the same chassis that the 370Z rides on. The engine is straight from an Infiniti Q60 Red Sport. And the 6-speed manual transmission is also from the old 370Z. But while the Nissan Z is made up of “hand-me-downs”, they all work together to make a pretty potent street car. The twin turbocharged V6 engine produces 400 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque (298 kW & 474 Nm).
On the other hand, the 2023 Toyota Supra’s 3.0L turbocharged inline-6 engine does feel intimidating, despite it having less power… on paper. It is rated for 382 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque (285 kW & 499 Nm). But owners and other publications have dyno tested stock Supras before and the horsepower numbers are just a little above the 400 mark.
