Nissan 400Z leaked! Production-ready Toyota Supra hunter snapped

The incoming Nissan 400Z has been snapped in what appears to be final production guise, with the Toyota Supra hunter looking just about ready to rock and roll.

The images, which were reportedly, shot at Nissan's Tochigi factory and were first published by fan forum, the 400z Club, show a sleek exterior largely unchanged from the prototypes we've seen to date, and a tech-heavy cabin headlined by a completely digital driver's display.

The steering wheel, you'll notice, is on the left-hand-side of the cabin, meaning it's not one of ours, but the wheel does frame a digital screen that fills the driver's binnacle, and that sits alongside a second media screen - seemingly to control the car's audio - that is angled upwards.

Where you might expect the multimedia screen to be fitted - perched atop the dash - is instead twin performance dials, hinting at the Zed's sporting pedigree. You'll also have noticed, I'm sure, that this one is an automatic, but reports point to a manual option being offered, too.

The rear looks a lot like the concept we've been shown, with old-school 300ZX-style lighting and twin exhaust tips positioned at opposite ends. This car - a grey-on-black example - makes masterful use of the twin-tone colour palette.

The two-tone theme continues up front, where the blacked-out grille has been replaced by a chrome number, and one that looks vaguely terrifying - in a good way - in pictures.

Just when the 400Z will arrive in Australia remains a mystery, but Japanese press has pointed to a global unveiling in May, so time will tell.

Andrew Chesterton should probably hate cars. From his hail-damaged Camira that looked like it had spent a hard life parked at the end of Tiger Woods' personal driving range, to the Nissan Pulsar Reebok that shook like it was possessed by a particularly mean-spirited demon every time he dared push past 40km/h, his personal car history isn't exactly littered with gold. But that seemingly endless procession of rust-savaged hate machines taught him something even more important; that cars are more than a collection of nuts, bolts and petrol. They're your ticket to freedom, a way to unlock incredible experiences, rolling invitations to incredible adventures. They have soul. And so, somehow, the car bug still bit. And it bit hard. When "Chesto" started his journalism career with News Ltd's Sunday and Daily Telegraph newspapers, he covered just about everything, from business to real estate, courts to crime, before settling into state political reporting at NSW Parliament House. But the automotive world's siren song soon sounded again, and he begged anyone who would listen for the opportunity to write about cars. Eventually they listened, and his career since has seen him filing car news, reviews and features for TopGear, Wheels, Motor and, of course, CarsGuide, as well as many, many others. More than a decade later, and the car bug is yet to relinquish its toothy grip. And if you ask Chesto, he thinks it never will.
