Also, I have a feeling there will be a lot of options:
-Roof, pillars, hatch, mirrors in black vs body color
On the silver car the pillars, roof, hatch, and mirrors are black while on the grey car they all match the grey body color. Also the top grille of the grey car appears to be body color (it's hard to tell in the video if the silver car had a body colored grille).

-4 piston Akebono or 6 piston GTR Brembo
Both leaked cars had red Akebonos brakes instead of the yellow GTR Brembos we saw on the Proto

-Gun metal or bronze wheels
Both had gun metal wheels, Proto had bronze wheels

-Interior colored stitching
I noticed these cars (at least the grey one) didn't have any colored stitching on the interior and the Z proto did.

-Carbon fiber exterior parts
These cars had black trim parts in place of the carbon diffuser, side skirts, and bottom lip (actually the 2 leaked cars didn't have a bottom lip attachment).

What if all of these things are options? And this is where I can see them making a lot of extra money as well. If we see the new Z starting anywhere from $35-39K, these options could easily bring it to low 50Ks and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a lot of Zs selling with a lot of options. And it would give Z enthusiasts the opportunity to really make their Z their own. It's probably wishful thinking, but wasn't it wishful thinking to think we'd get a new Z in the first place?
I bet the body color etc will possibly be an option, since even the Maxima has the "floating roof".

The brakes, doubtful we'll get the GTR Brakes; That's probably a marketing thing to match the new/performance concept aspect of the car. a $7-8k carbon ceramic option would be insane for a sub $60k car.

BRONZEEEEEEEE wheels; most likely the Launch Edition option when released, which will become a regular option the following year

Interior color, doubt it. Most of the original 370z members (AK I think as well), did the Fabric marker approach, which we'll probably have to do, since the seats look the SAME as the 370z as well as the door panels, handles, and vents.

Carbon Fiber...idk...Seems like a launch edition thing or a Concept thing.
