It s easy to pick out the hexagonal mesh in the bumper. The front grille is also slightly taller and wider than the new BRZ s.

Patent images of the upcoming 2022 Nissan Z car, also known as the Fairlady Z and 400Z (name not confirmed), have surfaced on the Australian Intellectual Property database. These give us a decent indication of what the production car will look like.
