Nissan has been awfully quiet following the world premiere of the new Z back in August, but more content is hitting the interweb as we get close to the sports car's market launch. Case in point, Byron Glover Jr. aka Drive 615 on YouTube, was invited to ride shotgun in a prototype of the 370Z's successor. Driven by Paul Hawson, Nissan product planner for sports cars, the hotly anticipated coupe was part of a fleet heading to a Tennessee car show.
Two 2023 Zs make an appearance on camera, a Boulder Gray with the manual gearbox and a gorgeous Passion Red equipped with the automatic. The YouTuber hopped on the latter's passenger seat, a test vehicle carrying manufacturer plates since production-ready cars have yet to land in the United States. Being based on the Performance trim level, it had the aluminum paddle shifters derived from the mighty GT-R.
