2026 Nissan Z Heritage Edition Arriving at Georgesville Nissan
A tribute to the legendary Z32 300ZX, draped in Midnight Purple and limited to just 500 units. Georgesville Nissan in Columbus is receiving one of the most collectible Z cars Nissan has built in years.
A 1990s Legend, Reborn in Midnight Purple
The Nissan 300ZX—known to enthusiasts as the Z32—redefined what a Japanese sports car could be when it arrived in 1989. Twin-turbocharged, technologically advanced, and styled like nothing else on the road, it earned a following that has only grown stronger in the decades since.
The 2026 Z Heritage Edition is Nissan’s tribute to that era. Built exclusively on the Z Performance grade and limited to just 500 units, it layers Z32-inspired design cues onto the current Z’s already heritage-rich silhouette. The result is a car that speaks directly to enthusiasts who understand what the Z32 meant—and to a new generation discovering it for the first time.
Then there’s the color. Midnight Purple is one of the most storied shades in Nissan performance history, most famously worn by the R34 and R35 GT-R. With the GT-R now discontinued, the Z Heritage Edition is the only way to get a new Nissan in this iconic color. That alone makes this car a piece of history.

500 Cars. That’s It.
Nissan is building exactly 500 Heritage Edition Z cars for the entire United States. There is no second production run. When they’re spoken for, they’re gone. Georgesville Nissan has secured allocation for Columbus—and interest from enthusiasts is already building.
This isn’t just a color package. It’s the only way to get a new Nissan in Midnight Purple now that the GT-R has been discontinued. Combined with the Z32-era design language and a production count that virtually guarantees collectibility, the Heritage Edition sits in rare territory for a car at this price point.
Why Enthusiasts Are Paying Attention
The Heritage Edition package adds $2,940 to the Z Performance’s base price—a modest premium for exclusive paint, forged RAYS® wheels, carbon-fiber aero, and a build number that will keep this car’s value conversation interesting for years to come. Compared to the NISMO’s $65,750 starting point, the Heritage Edition delivers a distinct identity at a significantly lower price.

What’s the difference between the Heritage Edition and the standard Z Performance?
Mechanically, they’re identical—same 400-hp twin-turbo V6, same mechanical limited-slip differential, same Akebono® brakes. The Heritage Edition adds the exclusive Midnight Purple paint, bronze-finish 19” RAYS® wheels, a carbon-fiber rear spoiler with retro “Twin Turbo” badge, bronze side graphics, red brake calipers, and Heritage Edition interior details. The $2,940 package price covers all of these additions.
Can I get the Heritage Edition with a manual transmission?

Is Midnight Purple available on any other 2026 Z trim?
No. Midnight Purple is exclusive to the Heritage Edition package. It is not available on the Z Sport, standard Z Performance, or Z NISMO for 2026. It’s also the only new Nissan currently available in this color, following the GT-R’s discontinuation.
