There is no Fairlady Z badge on the trunk lid. In the end it really doesn't matter. The production car is going to look 99% like the proto.

I beg to differ…look closely…there is a black line that juts out where the name would be, just very hard to see because it’s almost blanked out, but do agree it doesn’t matter much because they will be very similar

The URL said 2022 Nissan Z. That's also probably another clue that Nissan is just going with just "Z".

Thanks, I tried looking for a bigger pic but no luck.
Good stuff, thanks again!

Calling it the Z is perfect IMO . it doesn't lock them into any hp ratings
The number was never about HP but displacement. The stupid 400 number circulating was just people guessing on forums and it getting picked up as "truth" by youtubers and journalists.

You're right, also the proto doesn't have an antenna unlike the production car. The teaser also doesn't appear to have an antenna on the roof either.

why would Nissan tease the proto again? o_O
Budget cuts and or just being lazy. I'm betting it's faster and cheaper to just take the proto's pics and add some smoke.
