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.
