I know it's build in Tochigi Japan. It was designed by Randy Rodriguez in California. Then that design sketch was taken to Japan and there the design was finalized (Randy received a copy of the final design and was asked what he thought of it. He obviously gave it a :tup:).

Car is built 100% in Japan. If you add options like illuminated kickplates or splash guards or other small options, they are sometimes installed at the port/local dealer etc. These cars are fully built and shipped to us. NO parts are built or modified or installed in United states. Just like the GTR :driving:

:iagree:

i would say insprired by randy's rendering. you cant design a car from just an illustration.

I think 370Z is one of the best iconic sports car because it shows to the world that 370Z is a global car that is design by a team that are multinational and countless of people all around the world within Nissan. So everybody have contributed from it which is a good idea. And also it is first inspired by 240Z which have a strong Japanese root in design.

what do u guys think?

nissan is run by french guy who likes Z.

Hi all,

Sorry to ask this question again and again. Because I never get the answer. So yeah, did actually any Japanese designer contribute to the exterior design of the 370Z?

Because I research Mr Kazuki Yamazaki who is in charge of the exterior design and Mr. George Yanaka who is the chief designer. This considered as a contribution right?

Well, it's a car from a Japanese manufacture, so the final decision must have to have some discussion with Japanese HQ, therefore, if you want to know was/were there and Japanese involved in the R&D of the Z, most likely it's a 'Yes'.

However, I think no matter who is the designer or whatever, the most important is Do you like it??

Right???

Wait, what? Nissan 370? What's that?

stevenlucksek 03-05-2012 01:46 PM

Thanks
 
I have researched and finally found some answer. The 370Z actually is designed by Mr. Randy, with countless of people contribution. All design by Randy and all the contribution from all the people within Nissan was sent to Japan. In Japan, the designer in charge of the exterior, Mr. Yamazaki, finally put all the design together and become the Z.

Thanks

like i said, there's a huge difference between a rendering artist for concept design and the designer that actually puts these ideas into a tangible form... it's not fair to just name one or two people. it takes a lot more then that to design and produce a car.

for some reason this thread pisses me off. :icon17:

/thread.

alcheng 03-05-2012 03:33 PM

it's alright kenman, at least he answers his own question. :icon17:
