mull Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 A guy (called GRID) on a Swedish forum (http://www.zatzy.com) has made a couple of drawings (if calling 3D "drawing" is allowed) of his interpretation of a would-be 2008 Datsun 240z concept car. He'll be checking this thread out, so speak your mind! I'm sure he appreciates both feedback/critisism (constructive) and cheers : ) I only wish he could build it for me IRL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyZ Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I think that has been posted here before. I absolutely love it, it is probably the best retro modern concept of any car I have ever seen. It keeps many of the styling cues of the old 240 while still adding a modern touch to everything. I'll take 2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimZee Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 That looks beautiful, someone should sculpt their orignal Z to mock that... that'd be some body project. Props to GRID, looks real good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhptom Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Pretty cool. Looks like some styling cues from Panoz Esperante and a little TRV. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeero Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I would buy one! I think it looks better than any Z car that was ever built! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmaster Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 i would take a loan out on my house if i ever own one, just so i could buy that car.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage42 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Very cool. I still think the hood should be a bit wider and fenders narrower (on the top). Is it just me, but in the pic with the straight on shot of the car from the rear, do those rear tires look a bit narrow? It'll need some meats on it, if it has real power. (it better!)

I thought he kept it under wraps until he was done with it. Guess I'll have to console myself with the knowledge that I added more pics : ) Maybe a mod/admin could merge the two threads into one?

slownrusty Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Wow...I love it...it needs to be 3000lbs with the twinturbo 3.8L GTR motor! Yasin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stupeyfied Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I personally love it...except the mirrors seem to be blinded by the rear wheel arches. Also, i think the hood should conoform to the size of the windshield...keep it the same size in the front, but have it curve wider at the rear so it matches the width of the windshield...then the black hood would also match with the black color for the upper half of the car. Would flow a bit better IMO. Also I think the nose should point down a bit more...it kind of has a "stuck up" look to it lol. Other than that, I absolutely love it. Its very aggressive and contemporary, but all the while maintains simmilar lines to the classic z's. Bravo!!! 5 Stars my man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Drool! This concept along with that 510 concept are class acts, I would be all over either of these were they to be offered. Nissan, are you listening! There are a few things that I would change, but if it were to be offered as is I would sign the dotted line without hesitation. excellent work. The worst thing about it is that it's not in my driveway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerryb Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Pretty nice....dont like the door cut outs but I would buy one anyway! And look...the rear wheels are in the middle of the arches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdiabetezx66x Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 oh my god that is amazing. i thought the new challenger was the sweetest retro car...this would definetely overtake it, and i would definitely put myself into debt to get one...

TrumpetRhapsody Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Amazing! I'll take one for sure. I do think the headlight buckets would look better integrated into the fenders though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
