Nissan 370Z Design Studio and Exclusive Interview with the 370Z Designer
 
Well, two days ago, the designer of the 370Z sent me this video via pm. He is a regular on the forum. It's a GREAT video that explains some of the design ideas that were involved in making this fantastic car. Also, here's another thread that explains the sports package wheels design. Almost 1 year after my initial purchase, I am still able to turn heads and get positive feedback/:tup: from people around me. I don't think I have ever experienced anything like this with any of my previous cars. This cars design is so amazing, it's appreciated by all age groups and gender. So, I'd like to take this time to specially thank Mr. Randy Rodriguez for designing something so beautiful and classic.

Thank You. :tup:

Here's the video. Click on the image below

Great Video! Even though I had a 240Z, 280Z and a 300ZX...I will forever remember "my" first Nissan car: A 1976 Datsun B210. Ugh!! LOL! Loyal til the end, huh? :)

Thank you, Mr. Rodriguez, for designing my dream car. My only gripe is the fog light "butthole"...what's up with that?? LOL!

I had a 300ZX and 350Z but also my first Datsun was also a B210 like the one below, don't remember what it was.

Thanks AK for sharing with the group -- of course us "Roadster" owners probably got a bigger kick out of it -- interesting tidbit on the "Shark influence"...I'll never look at the nose of my Z the same again...

Thanks for posting this video. I enjoyed it and I enjoy driving my "erotic device!" What a brilliant kid that designer must be. Amazing to see the actual person who conceived of the design for our cars. I hope they treat him well! He deserves an ownership interest!
I saw a short video somewhere on line giving a sort of a tour of the factory in Japan where the Z's are actually produced. It was also very interesting.

That's it! Mine was yellowy/gold. 4 speed stick shift. When I would go up really steep grades, the clutch would slip. Yikes. LOL! Memories!

...long live the Z!!!!!!!

I have to ask, you are giving back your Z so what are you replacing it with?
Do you still have your 240z?

chuckd05 02-21-2010 12:27 PM

That Blue Z in the nissan design place is the blue I wanted to see the 370 have, whats up with that ? Future color ?

Thanks Randy for sharing these with the group. Its great to be able to have a dialogue (albeit asynchronous) with the guy who designed one's own car. Great job and I'm sure we all wish you continued success.

I am however still pondering that "erotic & shark influence" thingee....:icon17:
