Nissan Files Thrilling Trademark Application for Power-Packed “Z Warrior”

Nissan Z: The Next Off-Road Sensation?

For those who thought the only off-road-capable car from Nissan was the Patrol, think again. With a trademark filing for the "Z Warrior" nameplate in Australia, Nissan may be preparing to release a rugged, off-road version of its popular Z sports car.

Rally-Ready Z

The Z Warrior is a nod to the automaker’s partnership with off-road specialist Premcar, who upfits the Navara pickup and Patrol SUV for off-road adventures. An expansion of this program would likely include other models from the Nissan lineup, starting with the Z.

With a price tag of $8,000 to $17,000 AUD, or around $5,300 to $11,400 USD, the Z Warrior would likely be at the upper end of this price range, adding $11,000 or more to the regular Nissan Z’s price tag.

The Z Warrior’s Inspiration

The Z Warrior could draw inspiration from the Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato and Porsche 911 Dakar, two high-performance off-road SUVs that have gained attention for their rugged capabilities.

What to Expect from the Z Warrior

Though details are scarce, fans of the Z sports car are eagerly anticipating the debut of the Z Warrior, which could offer:

• Improved ground clearance and approach/departure angles for off-road capability
• Skid plates and a reinforced suspension for added ruggedness
• A possible lifted suspension for increased clearance
• Unique styling and design elements to differentiate the Z Warrior from its standard counterpart

The Possibilities are Endless

If the Z Warrior is a reality, it could mark a new era in off-road capability for sports cars. With its power and agility, the Z Warrior could be a thrilling addition to the off-road scene.
