If the next Z looked similar to this
 
1 Attachment(s)
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.

deftoneZ 04-14-2015 12:23 PM
After enough beers it may start to look good but you'd likely get pulled over for DUI

jk it still wouldnt look good.

kidkotic2001 04-14-2015 12:29 PM
WTF really..... I thought it was a nice concept Z. I would think about it I really like it.

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

JARblue 04-14-2015 12:37 PM
front end looks very BMWish to me :twocents:

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

JARblue 04-14-2015 12:39 PM
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?

dP3NGU1N 04-14-2015 12:57 PM
^agreed

nomodsjk 04-14-2015 01:28 PM
I see a s2000

kenchan 04-14-2015 01:38 PM
wtf, are we back to 2010 or something?

Magic Bus 04-14-2015 01:44 PM
With only one angle, it's hard to get a true picture but I'm not a fan of the front.

cooltoy 04-14-2015 02:06 PM
This render was done in 2008.

One of the concept-renderings I've made in the past, almost 4 years old future Fairlady Z rendering
GT-R design elements are clearly visible because I was in love with just released Godzilla at that time
And it was meant to be a 240.

My own vision how modern version of legendary 240Z could look like. Rendered from scratch in 2D.

jcasti07 04-14-2015 02:28 PM
I also see S2000 from the front. I like the vintage fastback look though.

kidkotic2001 04-14-2015 03:24 PM
I did not know it was created in 2008, I just ran into it and thought it would be a good looking car. I know that most of it would not come to fruition and now that I know it was from 2008 I guess my dreams are busted. LOL

edk370 04-14-2015 03:26 PM
All the grills in the front are gaudy--too busy. Yeah, its silhouette too closely resembles the S30 Z. The idea of evolution is not about being 80, 90% or whatever like its predecessor, and then again, it's not about being radically different either.

Just my 2 cents.

alcheng 04-14-2015 06:00 PM
with the current Z, at least we got people asking "is that a porsche..??"


with that Z.... we gonna get asked "is that a mustang..??"


:wtf2::wtf2:

Yea, it's old as dirt but more like " is that a gtr?" I like it. Always have. Better yet imagine a modern 240 with 400 hp....omg. Fap.

It looks like only a few of us like this.

Well I like it. I rack up some 'S'miles with it. :tup:

I would drive it in a heart beat. My most favorite Z's are the 1970 to 1978 Z's.

BRM3D1NA 04-15-2015 02:46 AM
There's really nothing wrong with the car, the only thing I don't like about it is that the front is a bit too flat for me and the car looks overall pretty masculine. The silhouette of the Z has always had a pointed front end and this is lacking aspect makes me think of a Chrysler 300 or a Mustang.

I like the curves of the Z, giving meaning to the name Fairlady because she's just so damn sexy and I like my cars sexy...

Zoren 370 04-15-2015 04:47 AM
Its nice but too square lost the curve lines of the Z.
I think sponge bob would love the design.

same here :eek:

UNKNOWN_370 04-15-2015 09:21 AM
Flair the rear haunches a lil more.
Sharpen the back window a lil better.
A lil more drama to the headlights...
Make sure the front and rear spoiler pkg is a dramatic yet, super-tasteful option...

And we have a winner in that concept.

charjohnnie 04-15-2015 09:49 AM
Looks like the gtr concept that came in 2007...
It looks horrible if you ask me especially the front, im glad the Z looks the way it does but do hope they improve for 2017 (new generation Z35)

carlitos_370z 04-15-2015 10:21 AM
subscribed hahah!! BTW I like that concept that the guy draw but need more work...

Cmike2780 04-15-2015 10:54 AM
With Nissan's new design language, I'm honestly a bit scared with what they'll come up with for the new Z. I saw the new Maxima at the New York Auto Show and was impressed with the level of detail, but the design is very polarizing. I really liked certain aspects, but some design elements just make you cringe a bit. Seeing as how Nissan usually tries to incorporate the same language throughout their line up, I really hope the new Z stands out on it's own. I don't know if you've seen this one, but Nissan did a pretty crappy job with their first "concept" of the Z's revival before the 350Z.

This is horrible I am glad that never made it past the concept stage.
