Nissan 400Z leaks in production form, looks absolutely amazing

The proverbial cat is out of the bag. This is almost certainly the production Nissan 400Z on video and on photos captured by some hero working in a warehouse were posted on the 400Z Club forum on Monday. According to the man who shot the video, Nissan sent some cars to Los Angeles; one with an automatic transmission and one with a manual. Regardless, this car looks a lot like the Z Proto concept car, and that’s a very good thing.

The best photos are of the 400Z with the automatic transmission, with a beautiful gray color and a matching, painted roof. Also note the front grille, which some people turned off with dark black accents on the Z Proto. Here it is finished in a lighter silver / gray color. I personally think it fills the finished shape much better than the dark black seen on the draft car. Then the Z Proto wore a yellow light-colored color with black accents really emphasized the square appearance. I do not have much to say about the rear: it looks quite amazing in my book, with the 300ZX taillights.

The interior of the 400Z looks basically identical to the Z Proto we saw before, except for the thick automatic gear selector in this car. It looks like the switch of the new crook and other recent Nissan cars and fits perfectly with the technological atmosphere. The measurement panel remains digital and a large screen is in the middle stack with three physical pointers underneath. The triple pod meters on top of the middle stack also remain.

Nissan has not yet said when it plans to launch the new sports car, but all signs point to some time next year. At best, it might happen later this year. However, the news that the company is shipping some production cars to the US is a good sign that we may see the 400Z sooner rather than later. In the meantime, look at all the photos.
