Today I spotted the all NEW Nissan 400Z (Nissan Z Proto) (2022 Nissan Z) on the road here in Nashville Tennessee and followed it to Nashville Cars and Coffee over in Cool Springs. I was on my way to the car show and spotted the Nissan Z on the road followed by the new 2022 Nissan Frontier pickup truck. I gave all my attention to the Z, sorry for all my truck lovers out there. I will say the new 2022 Nissan Frontier looked really great!

This was a rare sighting and I think this has to be a Drive615 exclusive as I may have been one of the first to spot it out on the road.

The Nissan 400 Z or Nissan Z or Nissan Proto Z or Nissan Fairlady Z, as is has all been called, is one of the most highly anticipated vehicles set to launch in 2021/2022. (Z35)

Facts about this vehicle:
It will have a twin-turbo v6 engine and an available manual transmission.
The Z Proto honors the original 240z with a badge mounted on the C Pillar, just like the original.
There will be round triple ancillary gauges in the center, helping to add to the driver focus of this Z vehicle.
The Z Proto rear LED taillights were inspired by the 1990 300ZX.
The original 240Z had round headlights that created an iconic look and this model has similar carryover.

It is supposedly, longer than the current 2021 Nissan 370Z by 5 inches.

This all-new Nissan will compete with the likes of the BMW M2 and Toyota Supra.

I can’t wait to review this vehicle soon and hopefully be one of the first to drive the all new Nissan Z Proto on the road for my full Drive615 Review. Joe Raiti from Raiti's Rides already did a nice walk around of it at the HQ too!

Per the Nissan website:

The Nissan Z Proto combines classic sports car proportions of a long hood and a short rear deck. Combined with iconic Z styling elements, it creates a unique design that is completely modern, yet immediately identifiable as a Nissan Z.
