Nismo Z prototype spied testing in the U.S.

[MCN1SMO]

its is just the wrapping or is this another redesign of the front end of the NISMO

these new spy pics dont appear to have the horizontal slat we saw a few weeks ago

Excited for this. However, if the regular Zs are going for crazy $$$ imagine the Nismo.

80-90k USD? Maybe….

my guess is 64,990

can anyone make out on the sidewall those are 19" or 20"?

Hopefully we get better info and Nissan picks up production of the Z in general so we can get out of this price gouging environment. I might hold off on trading my X3 in for a GTS and rather just get this Nismo and Ariya (for the wife) if Nissan can pick up their game.

Maybe around this. But I don’t think they will make much of these. Now let’s say a sexy number like 69k. Markups easily will hit 100k.
Now, to me… it prob won’t be worth it for the rumour 15 extra HP and some body enhancements and finer tuned suspension.

Let's not even get into pricing for now, I'm more interested on what mechanical, performance, and interior updates are added, we can see the exterior stuff added already, if those are really Nismo.

100% the nismo as those are a variant of the the factory NISMO wheel. if you look super super...super close you can see what looks like black tape covering up the NISMO logo that is engraved in these wheels.

also the shape of that seat looks like the carry over 370z NISMO recaro seat

If those Recaros are indeed a carryover, love it!!

im just really confused about what appears to be the new new front end? this looks like NISMO version 3.0

here were the first 2

unless the camo is covering up the split it looks like this 3rd version is a smoother solid nose

Two three-pedal, six-cylinder, rear-wheel-drive Japanese sports coupes in the year 2023 sounds nuts given the zeitgeist around electrification, yet here we are.

Less zeitgeist, more like schadenfreude.

It's *possible* that this camo is just covering that detail, but these all do appear very different. Totally agree.

Maybe the mules were just running whatever jank setups the Nismo team was mocking up while they worked on the production design? This looks much more production-ready, given the side inserts we can now see peeking out. Those look like finished details. The center mesh looks unchanged from the last variant we saw running around, too, so this seems like an evolution to the finished design, if nothing else.

Really don’t mind the current squared off grille design, it’s unique, no busy center bridge disrupting it. Now, the slatted brake ducts look super cool, better be functional, looks larger than the stock opening.

These new developments are getting interesting.
