The wait is over! Nissan just dropped the 2026 Fairlady Z facelift in Japan, finally gifting the flagship Nismo a high-performance manual gearbox. Purists, rejoice: the twin-turbo V6 now pairs with a mechanical limited-slip differential and a proper handbrake. With sharper styling, a massive 12.3-inch display, and track-ready suspension, this beast is ready to dominate the streets and the circuit.
