Looks like what's expected. Red sport motor with different cover.

As to be expected. I do like how the color of the engine cover matches the car.

 

[gymratter]

the colored engine cover would be nice touch to carry over onto the production car.

Yep, no surprise.

I wished the leaker had popped the hood on gray Z in the shipping warehouse.

That, or maybe a carbon fiber cover?

That, or maybe a carbon fiber cover?

probably not gonna happen in the base car, but maybe a Nismo Z?

Towards the end of the vid he said the leaker was "gonna pop the hood and take some pics", but seeing how he took down all the vids and pics I don't think it's going to happen.

A bit off topic, but this definitely looks like a one off prototype and not a pre-production car as some people have said. There aren't any VINs anywhere on this car.

 

[gymratter]

yeah theres a youtube video somewhere with a Nissan employee saying the proto is just a one off. the three camo test cars would be considered pre production.

Anybody compared the weight difference between the VQ37 NA (370Z) to this VR30DDTT, engine and associated components?

This was all I could find.

Lower weight, greater mechanical efficiency, more engaging drive
The core structure of the 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo engine weighs 429.5 pounds (194.8 kg) – 39.1 pounds (14.1 kg) less than the engine it replaces. The new turbocharger and advanced intercooler (or CAC) system componentry adds just an extra 56.9 pounds (25.8 kg), for 486.3 pounds (220.6 kg) total.
