Nissan ’s prospect of a better future continues to improve amid merger talks with Honda. As Mitsubishi achieved record sales in 2024, so did the Nissan Z in its sports cars segment. The manual Toyota Supra might have sold a surprising amount of units, but wait until you read about the new Z.

Age matters. Or is a factor in sports car sales. Because for the first time, the newer Nissan Z outsold its elder Toyota Supra in 2024. Yes, you still may never see them on the roads, but someone is buying them.

That's a significant contrast to the previous year, where Toyota sold almost 1,000 more Supras than Nissan sold Zs. Previously, the current RZ34 Z was off to a rough start when it launched in 2022, selling only 36 units that year.
