One of the most anticipated cars arriving on dealership floors in the near future is the all-new Nissan Z. We’ve seen numerous exterior shots, some videos of an early test mule, and even some interior shots but now we have something new. Someone at the Los Angeles International Airport found another Nissan Z in the parking garage there and they took photos to prove it.

This Z car is different. Every previous image we have of the interior seems to be from the top-of-the-line or Performance trim as Nissan is calling it. To that end, we’ve been wondering what the base interior might look like. Now, it seems we have a better understanding.

In earlier photos from Nissan, we see bright interior colors including both blue and red accent colors. Those are nowhere to be found in these spy shots. In fact, the dark cloth interior seems to indicate that we’re looking at the base “Sport” trim level.

Another indication of its trim status could be the buttons in the center tunnel area which are blank, whereas in the Performance model, they are for the heated seats. If it’s true that we’re looking at the base model then we can take a lot more away from these pictures.

Some on the newNissanZ forum, where these photos were first uploaded, think that the screen might be smaller than in the Performance model. From what we can see it doesn’t seem different but the angle makes it impossible to say for sure. Sticking with a single size wouldn’t be very shocking. Some sports cars in the segment, such as the Toyota Supra and BMW Z4, have a single-size infotainment system regardless of trim level.

What would be cool is if Nissan sticks with the digital gauge cluster seen here in both models. The Z is going to be up against quite a number of challengers and that added tech might give it a tiny leg up. The good thing is that, as in past models, the tri-gauge cluster above the center climate vents seems to have made it to all editions of the Z. We can’t wait to see it when it finally makes it to dealers.
