That's kind of what I'm banking on as well. I've never had/been bullish about red cars, however really do think this car w/ its lines could pull it off. And no offense to OP/whoever took them because I'm sure it was in a hurry, but higher quality photo(s) will surely help, too.
Nissan's red paints always look different in person vs camera, especially in direct sun light. The Passion Red will have a vibrant, "glowing" red appearance in the sunlight.

Here's a couple pics of my Magma Red 370Z.
As you can clearly see it has a "glowing" orange color in the direct sunlight and more red upfront in the shade. The bottom pic it looks like a flat red on an overcast day. No filters on either pic.

I like the red and I like mine black also … most of my wheels are black except my wife’s …

Wonder if it’s the same or close to this Cayenne Red of 2020, it’s decent

The best red out there by far currently is Soul Red Crystal on the Miata and other Mazdas. Going off the above photos the Z's red is far less nuanced, it looks like tomato soup, but maybe it shows better IRL.

Do we know where these photos were taken? Guessing overseas, given context clues (lettering on factory/plant in second photo, signage on bus in last photo, etc.)

Also, if OP is the source for these, might be a good idea to slap the forum watermark/logo on it - gotta imagine these will get circulated and the site/they deserve credit.
The red one is definitely in Japan. You can see Kanji writing on the other side of the driver's window in the top photo.

I'm going to speculate this car is headed to the port for shipment overseas the way they are wrapped up. I can't tell if its LHD or RHD. If the silver and red were on the same truck, the silver one is definitely LHD. Maybe these are the two new colors I hear were coming to the states. Stay tuned!

There is no spoiler on the red car.. but those look like the 19s right?? So either spoilerless is an option or they just haven’t tacked it on there yet.

Hard to distinguish the two Kanji words, but the katakana say "Power".
Somewhere near a Japanese harbor.

Holy shit, I LOVE! Especially in the sun. The titanium exhaust is a nice touch, too.

Cool ok, thought so. And yes, you were the one that heard it - sorry I couldn't remember.

This is exciting, finally some new updates! Even if they aren't from official channels.
