It all happens on August 17th in New York City when the 2022 Nissan Z will be revealed.

What's not known is if this new Z will follow in the paw prints of its predecessors and have a numerical designation. The previous Z carried the 370Z name, which was the seventh-generation of the pack. (The original Datsun 240Z debuted way back in 1969.)

Industry insiders expect the new Z to be powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine from the Infiniti Q60 and chunking out around 400 horsepower.

Pricing is expected to come in at $35,000 for the base model.
