[bybepl]

From the Chicago Auto Show website (LOL):

2023 Nissan Z: The all-new Nissan Z is expected to go on sale in early 2022 as a 2023 model year. The Z is a low-slung sports car that seats 2 passengers and is only offered as a 2-door coupe. Competitors include the Toyota Supra, Porsche 917, Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, and Mazda MX-5 Miata.

Two trims are offered: Sport and Performance. A special Proto Spec Edition will be offered at launch, but will be limited to only 240 units. The iconic sports car will be powered a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 engine that produces 300 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. It will pair to a 6-speed manual transmission as standard, but a 9-speed automatic transmission with launch control and paddle shifters will also be offered.

The seventh-generation Z sports car will start at around $40,000 once it goes on sale in early 2022.

Well now…what do they call early 2022?
In my books it would be first three months of the year…but will it be?
And around $40000, well 45000k is still around 40 …clarity would be good

Universe has a way and all that, but on way home just now caught a Kicks in Boulder Gray. Forgive the poor editing/general quality, tried to remote license plates and traffic was stop and go so had to get moving once I captured it. Needless to say, I am not @Haste

Definitely has some blue hues in the sun, definitely don't think this photo does it justice

Not to mention what specification the AU market is going to receive..

Man now that it does have the red interior...I think this color has shot its way to the top spot over the Blue.......maybe. lol

Looks a bit too close to powder blue here...

We are getting a mix of sport, performance.
it’s mostly performance with a few edits such as only getting the 8” screen

Same. Seeing the car in motion in that color on the YouTube videos made me a believer.

I think I'll be happy with that spec, but I'm watching closely for more news on available interior/exterior colour combos and other options. I just saw another thread around here about an active exhaust.

I won't be content until I can see it and buy it though
