Here's the link I saw it on, on Z1 Motorsports Instagram page.

The grey looks really good in my opinion. Also this one has an automatic transmission and no two tone roof.

Liking it! The headlights don’t look as pinched (perhaps it’s the angle of the photo?) as in the yellow concept we’ve all seen.

I'm glad there is the option of having a body-matched roof. Gives it a more classic look.

Hahah I was going to share these, I got them while driving to work just now. I don't know, maybe I'm losing my mind, but I feel like the front end could be just a bit better.

So is the front grille going to match the body color?

The paddle shifters look like a pretty good size too.

that must be the US model because I almost threw up when I saw the amber turn reflectors. LOL

Great news. Looks like development is ramping up!

Update: Here is another look that Z1 posted. This appears to be different than the one in the first post. It has the two tone roof and a nice little lip spoiler.

These are pre-production as they have the sensors and turn signals.

According to the caption in the IG post these shots were taken in the US?

Maybe the proving grounds in Arizona?

Yeah apparently it is in the US. That'd be awesome if it's true. Could mean we're closer to production than we think.

I was hoping that the rear key hole in the patent images wouldn't make it to the car.
It was hidden on the 350z and the 370z. Why put it on the new Z when it was hidden in the emblem on the proto?

Nice! I've always thought the rear needed at least a lip spoiler, it really compliments the lines, regardless how functional. But of course hoping for a larger more effective, i.e. downforce, variant, ala BRE. Please not a wing though, will disrupt the lines. That's a great metallic gray though!

I have envisioned a modern lip spoiler or "wangan" style rear lip for the car. When we receive our car we will be working with PSM Dynamic on a carbon front lip and rear spoiler for the stage one. The second part will be a version of the Arnold Design rendering.

Also, very little room for a “400z” badge on the rear deck so am thinking it’s just a Nissan “Z”

Yes you can see the amber in the headlights so its a US spec car.


I like the auto shifter. a lot like the one in our 2021 rogue instead of the old "stalk" look so thats a good thing.

glad to see the color stitching is gone from the interior seats. I knew it wouldnt be the in your face yellow but i wasnt a fan of the orange in the 350z either. Also it looks like perforated alcantara inserts?

2 different Zs maybe the one with the spoiler is a track model or something? wish there was a side view to see the brakes/ wheels on the gunmetal one to see if there are any more differences than the lip. maybe its just a package not a different trim
