Dizzying output

This 400-horsepower V6 is just as smart as it is relentless. Its aluminum-alloy block and heads are nice and light, which helps optimize performance. Plus, its water-cooled intercooler works to keep everything at the right temperature. Optical turbo speed sensors take it all over the top, helping the turbines reach up to 6,400 rpm.

It’s all about power-to-weight

There are two proven ways to improve performance: add power or reduce overall weight. In the all-new Z, we do both. An impressive 10% improvement in power-to-weight ratio enhances acceleration, handling and braking.
