“	NISSAN Celebration Join in the celebration of Nissan in this update with the 240z (S30), 300ZX (Z32), Skyline GT-R V-spec (R33), 370Z NISMO (Z34), and GT-R NISMO (R35)—in five all-new Limited Time Series!	”
	— What's new in Circuit of the Americas Update (v7.0).

The Z32 was a new design. The body was wider with a rounder profile and fewer hard edges. It had a marginally increased drag coefficient of .31 compared to the Z31's .30. Twin Turbocharged Z32s also featured active rear wheel steering systems called "Super HICAS", first introduced on the HR31 NISSAN SKYLINE, which was actuated hydraulically until 1994 when Nissan switched to an electric actuator. NISSAN designated the final 300 units earmarked for North American sale in 1996 as "Commemorative Edition" cars, although nothing new or exclusive to the model was included. The 1996 model years vehicles did not feature NISSAN's NVTC variable valve timing system, which had been present on all previous Z32 models. Production continued in Japan until August 2000, with styling updates and the addition of HID headlamps in 1998.

The NISSAN 300ZX (Z32) kept the same engine with a displacement of the 2,960 cc (3.0 L) V6 engine from the Z31, now with DOHC and variable valve timing (N-VCT), rated at 222 bhp (brake horsepower) and 198 lb⋅ft (268 N⋅m) in naturally aspirated form. The turbo variant was upgraded with Garrett AiResearch twin-turbochargers and dual intercoolers producing 300 bhp (brake horsepower) at 6,400 rpm (revolutions per minute) and 283 lb⋅ft (384 N⋅m) of torque at 3,600 rpm. Performance varied from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) times of 5.0-6.0 seconds depending on the source, and it had a governed top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h). It was the first car to be marketed following the introduction of the 276 bhp (brake horsepower) power ceiling imposed by JAMA that remained until 2004. The NISSAN 350Z, officially the Z33 generation Z-Car, succeeded the 300ZX in 2003.
