Very interesting! Maybe they have gone with some aggressive options, after all...

Here's a story on it:

LEAKED: New Images Of Nissan Z Emerge

Although Nissan has not yet officially revealed its new Z car, the rumor mill has done an excellent job of filling in some of the important gaps. Based on existing information, the new 400Z will actually be called the Nissan Z in North America, it will begin at just $34,995, and it will look...

Wow...ok! Not what I’d pick but glad they are pushing things some design-wise.

Looks like its in the Nissan facility in AZ for camo. Guessing we’ll these being tested soon. I wonder if they will let some journalists get behind the wheel for some teaser first impressions?

Not sure how I feel about the blue interior, but maybe this hints at a possible release this year due to additional options being leaked. Here’s to wishful thinking.

Here are those new leaked pics

Note that there are two taped off areas on the rear light bar:

Could mean that there is additional badging on this one.

And welcome to the forum @Tsuki ! You planning to buy a new Z?

I believe the one taped off in the middle is the Nissan logo and the one taped off to the right says “Z”. I wish they had put a “Z” badge on the trunk lid instead because I think having it on the back like that throws off the symmetry of the tail light assembly.

Agreed, that is a strange decision they've seemingly made. I will reserve final judgement until I actually see it but I definitely have a different preference on the placement.

Nice find @Tsuki good share. If the rumors of BMW-like colors are true, I'd like to see the cinnamon especially with the gray/silver exteriors, always wanted that color much more than red.

Coincidentally, this just popped up on YouTube. Could the blue interior be a throwback? Or is that a custom blue interior in the 240Z?

The blue interior was a factory color. My brother still has his blue 240Z with that same interior.

Nice. I wonder what other retro touches they will add.

I hope this isn't the only bold interior color Nissan goes with. It's not my first choice but it could look great with the right paint to match.

I'm with you - probably not my first choice but I have been hoping that Nissan would make some exciting decisions with respect to the colors for both interiors and exteriors. I want the cars to be sort of customizable. Factory-spec sports cars that are unique and individual at this end of the price spectrum are basically unheard of.

Unless you're paying a a lot of money not many companies can offer real customization for customers. Mini comes to mind but even then you can pay a lot for the amount of car you get. If Nissan can offer something like that with the Z that doesn't break the bank it makes it even more appealing.

 

[kbl911]

Bingo. I hope that there are some cool optional features that are stand-alone and not inherently tied to whatever packages end up on offer. Mini does offer that sort of thing but, man, does it ever get pricey (my mother has had a few of the newer Cooper S models).

And welcome to the forum @Tsuki ! You planning to buy a new Z?

I sure hope so, I was putting away cash for a Z32 TT right before the whole Nissan Next thing went down but changed my mind on that once I saw the Z Proto. I just hope the dealer markup doesn’t push a base model into Supra and Type R territory.

I don't think dealer markup will last long. The Supra didn't see markup past a few months, and I know of many people that got theirs at or below MSRP in 2019. I still don't understand the Type R hype myself. You should still get a Z32 if you can though because they are great vehicles and a lot of fun.
