Anyone else noticed what appears to be a "Z" badge. I'm guessing it will just be called Nissan Z. No numbers this time around.

Good eye. And I'm thinking the same as well. It makes the most sense to call this new Z exactly what it is, which is a "Z". Also seeing as this new generation is paying homage to all of the past Zs, it's just the best all around name for it.

Also side note, is that little hole next to the emblem a camera or a key hole? When I saw the patent images I thought it was a key hole, but it kind of looks like a camera actually. I'm assuming and praying it's a camera because having a key hole at the trunk is so outdated.

Hard to tell for sure from the low photo quality, but I want to say it looks more like a camera.

It's probably a backup cam.

For those don't know, all new cars sold in the U.S. are now required to have one.

That little circle beside the Nissan emblem would probably be the push button to open/lock the hatch. The camera will probably be lower where the license plate would be.

There's a video out there demonstrating that the Proto's hatch handle was integrated into the Nissan badge itself. There's a pocket underneath to grab and pull to open.

Were you able to find it?

Leaked from an undisclosed warehouse in Los Angeles.

More info from @Andaesthetics:

  • These pictures and videos were taken in LA. The leaker works at the LA port where the cars arrived.
  • The cars pictured are basically production ready. Some things are probably not 100% but make no mistake this is 99% the finished car. Patent images leaked a month or 2 ago show a lot of what we're seeing in the flesh here (for example the driver assistance sensor in the grille, front and rear sensors on the bumpers, side reflectors, etc. Also notice the air bag warning labels)
  • Take note of the top oval grille shapes now being body color instead of black. Hides that big rectangle shape that was very controversial and personally I like this look much better to be honest.
  • 2 cars were delivered to LA, the silver which is manual and the grey which is automatic.
  • These cars are most likely going to automotive journalist outlets then being toured around the US this summer.

Updated with another video:





Updated with a great look on video:

I’m done for. There’s no way I can’t not buy it....unless you price me out.
