I thought this was part of the hype surrounding this car? I remember every press release mentioning the Twin Turbo, 6MT drivetrain planned for the car

I don’t dislike the back of the new Z. Very Z31/32ish, but modernized.

But the front of both cars need some help. At least the Z looks happier than the Supra.

I wasn't a fan of the front bumper opening originally, but it looks a lot better in that video.

I'm curious about that A-pillar. Usually the hood line ends, and the pillar begins as part of a single solid piece with the roof. But the Z has an intermediate piece in between.

I guess that's a fair deal considering how good it looks. Didn't think Nissan would spend too much R&D on a dying market.

Patent images leaked a month or 2 ago show a lot of what we're seeing in the flesh here (for example the driver assistance sensor in the grille, front and rear sensors on the bumpers, side reflectors, etc. Also notice the air bag warning labels)

- Take note of the top oval grille shapes now being body color instead of black. Hides that big rectangle shape that was very controversial and personally I like this look much better to be honest.

- 2 cars were delivered to LA, the silver which is manual and the grey which is automatic.

- These cars are most likely going to automotive journalist outlets then being toured around the US this summer.

Looks like a home run.

Between the Supra, new GT86, new Z, Type R, Miata, and forthcoming Lexus IS500 and slew of F division products on the way (including rumoured ISF), I have to tip my cap at the Japanese automakers for their dedication to performance cars. Could this be the second golden age of Japanese performance cars?

Let's also NOT forget it's a TURBO! That alone opens the door for more power with little investment. I can't think of any existing new car I'd rather grab between @ $45k.

The front grille has grown on me a lot from the these leaks vs the prototype. It's unique but stylistically works with the rest of the car unlike a certain other car manufacturer from Bavaria.

I'm excited to see how this measures up to a Mustang GT.

Looks better with the blackout grill. The silver one looks too much like the car is wearing grillz. Looks so strange to have a manual parking brake and that weird nub looking shifter for the automatic.

It looks great. At least I do not have to be tempted since they will not be sold in Europe

I'd still have my 370z if not for the rear wheel hop which I was unable to eliminate despite going to great lengths (time and money)!

Let's hope it resolves all its other questionable designs/engineering
-Overheat brakes from a lack of vents and air going into them
-Oil temperature in traffic, when you can overheat in traffic, there's a problem.
-Horridly unreliable hydralics in their CSC/CMC
-90s tech in their VLSD
-Fuel starvation, I manage to starve it, with a full tank on the track.

Most likely pre-texture fitment sample, i wouldn't put too much worry on that

The rumors flying around of a supposed ~40k USD base price for 400 hp trim have only added intrigue.
