If the next Z looked similar to this

kidkotic2001 · 04-14-2015, 11:51 AM

I was browsing the web today looking for my project car as my birthday present to my self. Looking for a 1971 1972 240Z, I came across a picture of a concept Z that looks really nice. If This was out and it looked similar I would think about getting it.

I tried to credit the person/team who drew his but not sure who so I just leave it as is.

Polish designer Iacoski.

If this is what a Z would have looked like in 2014, I'd be driving something else.

After enough beers it may start to look good but you'd likely get pulled over for DUI

jk it still wouldnt look good.

Ive always liked it too.

from the side I like it but the front looks like an SLS merc. I know they were going for a GT-R front end but it morphed more towards the SLS to me.

I like where their head is at though. the side and rear look more of a throwback to the 240/260

front end looks very BMWish to me

Not that I dislike it. I just never get a good feel for concepts because they rarely have more than one or two perspectives.

I like how the Fairlady emblem, fender vents, and detail at the bottom of the door create a little bit of a Z shape from that perspective.

Agree on the SLS look due to headlights. But I get that he intended for it to look more like the old datsun headlights. I think the issue is with proportions. Front end looks super heavy due to the square jaw of the thing. The 240z had a break in the middle to reduce visual weight. This concept could have used a bit of that.

theres the issue though. I get the squared up R34 R35 looking frontend but that isn't what the Z is about. if you're paying homage with the side and rear why not continue it to the front as well? right?

^agreed
