You know I've always liked the brilliant silver Nissan been using for a while now. It has an almost white tint to it and its not a standard silver you see on most other cars.

Still like the blue the most , but maybe i need to see them in person (2 years from now when I can actually find one in stock to go look at.)

Agreed, it's a much brighter silver compared to ones other companies use. Especially in the photo above. I also love that we finally get to see what passion red looks like on the Z, it contrasts so well with the black roof.

No spoilers on either one

Good call on that. It's an interesting contrast to the Gun Metallic Z that was spotted a few weeks ago that had a spoiler.

I noticed the lack of spoilers too, but they (Atleast the silver one) have the performance exhaust and what appears to be the performance rims as well (can only see the rims on the red).

Right, this is confusing, since we were led to believe that the front and rear spoilers were inherent components with Performance trim. I hope this doesn't validate fears that the rear spoilers, at least, are dealer-installed.

I think it's safer assumption that these are in fact the Sport trim with the 18" 'dark-painted' rims and dual exhaust w/sport grade muffler.

I like both looks.. If there’s no spoiler, I’ll just put the Fairlady Z badge on it.

I would think so too @jezzza . I don't think Nissan would leave it up to dealers to install the spoilers.

I'm still trying to figure out where these cars are going. Maybe based on the padding they're going to be shipped overseas from Japan?

The issue is that, per the Nissan spec sheet and press release, this shouldn't be possible. Look, I would love for the upgraded exhaust, wheels, and brakes (see picture of the red calipers) to be stand-alone options, but that is decidedly not what Nissan pitched to us.

Unless I am very much mistaken, we were to be given two options at launch and nothing in-between, per the unveiling event. These look like Performance models minus the rear spoiler. The question is "why?"

Yeah that's true, the press releases didn't leave much for options. Maybe these are Japanese spec cars and they have more flexibility than the North American cars?

Wouldn't that just be the way....

 

[Alan691]

If they’re going to Japan, I would expect to see Fairlady Z on the rear trunk like the Z proto

I was thinking the same. And we can't quite make out the driver-seat orientation on the silver vehicle.

Also, and I could be mistaken, but JDM and European Zs are required to have the rear windscreen wiper, no? Used to be the case, at least. If that remains true, I'd say it basically rules these out as anything but US-bound.

 

[kbl911]

I'd like to permit myself to dream that these are an as-yet-unannounced "Track" trim that so many want and that Nissan selfishly withheld from us

 

[Alan691]

Hopefully they’re on their way to a Photo shoot. I need some new material/ videos. I think I’ve watched every YouTube video out on the new Z.

 

[Alanz196]

Seriously , the lack of new material /info has been killing me.

Australia gets Performance spec without rear spoiler.
