It's a test mule.

Look closely at the man behind the wheel - he's not just any old member of the public. Also, it's highly unlikely that a private owner would make their car look like that one. It's absolutely a test mule. I remember ten years ago, the 370z test mule was a 350z shell wrapped in matt black too, with the Nissan badges removed. All too similar for it not to be the real McCoy.

One thing is certain - the final car won't look much like the 370z, but it will have styling cues that ensure we know it's a Z - they always do.

Only 700ish sleeps to go, till it's in the showrooms.

Yup. The 370 test mule was a 350z.

If it was out there "competing with the Supra" as claimed, why is it still on the 370Z chassis? Shouldn't it be a little further along in development to make any claims in that regard?

I guess a possible argument for development process is all the front bumper ducts that aren't hooked up. You can see the wiper fluid reservoir on the passenger side. It's also possible that some dude just used a hole saw to cut a bunch of holes in his front bumper for additional cooling without hooking up any ducting.

At this stage in the new model's development, if it's being created on a very similar base to the existing model, it makes sense to test new components in the existing 370. Why wouldn't you?

Why is it so hard to believe this could be legit? The source of the pictures seems to also have some direct info that this was a Nissan car and that they were bench marking a new Supra. If some dude just decided to make that up, the others that reported it fact would have found out. I could believe it’s a private track car I guess but there are private track cars there all the time. The source must have known this different. The timing of this seems right too. We’ve heard for years Nissan is developing a new car. Sure they’ve stopped/started but now that they started again, it’s not hard to believe they’d be far enough to test the power train. Listen, I know this could be another false alarm but, maybe it’s legit this time. I’m cautiously hopeful. I’m sure we’ll get more info soon if it’s legit.

Butch : What now?

Marsellus : What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' niggers, who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ***.

What makes you say that? There are plenty of people who attend the normal Nurburgring touristenfahrten days who wear helmets and driving gloves.

Look at it another way. Given there are track cars there all the time, why would someone randomly decide to make up that this is a test mule?
