This is the 3,975th thread devoted to this car in 2 days - I think people like it!


...I know I do! It's the wallpaper on all my computers already.

Nissan, you have a winner here - just make it affordable!

zsport1 03-05-2009 02:58 PM

Awesome design but not the future Z Car.
Would be sweet to see Infiniti come out with something simular to this.

!xoible 03-05-2009 03:00 PM

there's a reason it has a infiniti badge on it, not a nissan. unless they want to sell the Z for more money than GT-R

nogoodname 03-05-2009 03:15 PM

LOL........ Everyone is in love with this car........ I do too

This hybrid is gonna be so awesome if the production car will look similar . That's if a pro car will be released

chubbs 03-05-2009 03:24 PM

Why the lumpy bits on the A pillars?

Side view cameras instead of mirrors.

frost 03-05-2009 08:16 PM

That interior is finer than frog hair, IMHO. :D

brisk 03-05-2009 09:00 PM

wow.
looks like the g37 but stretched, molded, and chiseled.
i like it though.

DevilWrench 03-06-2009 01:48 AM

Sickness. Pure Nismo Sickness.

kdo2milger 03-06-2009 02:21 AM

hmmm....nice....but i think it will be more expensive than the gt-r

why did they do the driver seat in black and the passenger seat in cordovon brown.

and where are the displays for thew side view cameras...

would like to see the engine too

Crash 03-06-2009 02:40 AM

That gauge cluster gave me wood.


In an hour I'm going to be pulling out splinters.

kdo2milger 03-06-2009 05:03 AM

i just noticed the rear view camera just under and center of the rear spoiler.

notice that there is no rear view mirror, just one long winshield...

MightyBobo 03-06-2009 05:36 AM

In my perfect future, I dream of an LCD or OLED gauge cluster, possibly touch screen that is completely customizable - want a different engine metric displayed? Just pull up the menu just like you'd add a widget in Vista or something. Place it where you want. Use 2 fingers to stretch/shrink it. Change the colors of the sweeping arm/text, or make it "digital" style. Lock it into place. Done.

When you slam it in reverse, the whole LCD becomes your backup camera, with the sides of the screens showing your side mirror cameras, merged together to form almost a complete 100% rear view of the car with no blind spots.

The truth is, theres really nothing preventing this from being able to be done right now, other than someone willing to spend the money to make an interface that'd work with it. I'd suspect it'd cost $5000 or so, depending on what'd have to happen with the LCD.

Crash 03-06-2009 08:44 PM

^^^ Still a few problems with doing it, but I agree, that'd be pretty sweet. I've had that thought for a long time. At one time I was writing some software to do the customizable cluster, but I ran out of funding and time so I gave up on it.

nogoodname 03-06-2009 09:00 PM

ok ppl, it's a concept car not a production car...hello...it's not refined at all...still little things missing here and there.....

Crash 03-07-2009 02:38 AM

^^^ Duh. We're not saying it's a production car. We're saying it's a cool concept car.


LOL

370sed 03-07-2009 07:39 AM

Overall nice flowing shape, far better than the lump of clay shapes of current Nissans, still...a bit busy maybe 'fussy' is a better word...here and there. Some parts are just so not hot at all - like the Buick Riviera front end and the (ekee!) Crossfire style rear. The watch styling as instrument cluster, pleeease! Also the two different colors (materials?) on front seats, and I'm sorry but those wheels are so wrong, in style, finish, and size. Needs some work.

BanningZ 03-07-2009 09:26 AM

Reminds me if like an Infiniti G37 and a Mazda Kabura concept had a baby.

dave 03-07-2009 09:50 AM

i made a mess

o0javi0o 03-08-2009 10:54 AM

this concept looks nice. I haven't seen that not even in the Jetsons...
That's a G37 on Steroids......!!!!

tvfreakazoid 03-08-2009 07:30 PM

It looks great. I wonder if the next gen Z car would be a hybrid. I know by 2016 cali wants even higher emission rate. God I hate cali sometimes. To many little law always being passed here. I glad they putting some restrictions but come on, why so soon.

semtex 03-08-2009 07:41 PM

If only they stuck the VR38DETT in it.

Arcangel 03-08-2009 11:01 PM

That is an amazing car! I love the two tone interior that way unique!!

DannyGT 03-08-2009 11:08 PM

Infiniti's GTR...

BanningZ 03-08-2009 11:45 PM

I was so distracted by the lines of the car and the interior that I just realized that it practically has the Z sport rims

frost 03-08-2009 11:47 PM

^indeed

arcticreaver 03-09-2009 12:18 AM

looks really nice. hopefully the Z's won't be as classy as that one but more of a sports minded interior.

cartracer12 03-16-2009 01:28 PM

That is the coolest car I have ever seen in the world PERIOD. Awesome display for the guages. Crazt interior/exterior. If they make this I would do nearly anything to buy it.

tvfreakazoid 03-17-2009 07:58 PM

hybrids.
