The 2022 Nissan Z has been snapped for a second time in production guise, just a couple of weeks after first leaking online.
These photos that were sent to CarScoops by an anonymous reader but have also circulated on the web, including on the NissanZClub, showcase the sports car in a light shade of silver. It is unclear where these images were taken but they clearly show both the exterior and interior of the car, confirming that it will look practically identical to the Nissan Z Proto study unveiled last year.

As evidenced by the amber turn signals, this looks to be a North American market car. The silver paint has been contrasted by gloss black across the front grille, wheels, wing mirrors, A-pillars, B-pillars, C-pillars, roof, and the rear diffuser. The most obvious difference between the production model and the original show car is the presence of a lip spoiler on the trunklid.
The interior of the Z pictured is also quite striking thanks to its two-tone black and blue finish that is reminiscent of the classic 240Z from the 70s and which looks to combine areas of leather with soft-touch Alcantara surfaces. Much like the model pictured last month, this car has an automatic transmission with paddle shifters as opposed to the six-speed manual of the Z Proto.
We know that all 2022 Z models will feature the company’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 with approximately 400 hp. The aforementioned automatic will apparently be a Mercedes-sourced 9G-Tronic while the six-speed manual will be the same unit as the 370Z. Of course, power will be sent exclusively throughout the rear wheels.
It was also recently indicated in another leak that the coupe won’t be named 400Z but simply ‘Z’ with the same report claiming it will start from as low as $34,995, which would make it $5,000 more expensive than the current 370Z but nearly $8,000 cheaper than the four-cylinder Toyota Supra 2.0.
