synthtk Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Beautiful! Very nice retro concept work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryb Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 It would be much nicer...but would also be a bitch to make.........if not impossible to stamp at a reasonable expense! Perhaps composite would work better. Amazing! I'll take one for sure. I do think the headlight buckets would look better integrated into the fenders though.

jerryb Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Just a thought GRID...could you add the fender flares that synthtk has on his car. That may really top it off and I would love to see if it works. Cheers to your work!! . Thx for all the comments, and nice to see that my renderings had spread here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauisnow13 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I think it would be SICK to have stock fender mirrors on a concept 240z. Just a thought. I love the look of fender mirrors, looks aggressive and really distinguishes the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauisnow13 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I'm also not a huge fan of the louvers on the back. I'd prefer it without. I feel it takes away from the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeatrpi Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Very nice. It would be interesting to see what you could do if you factored in modern safety concerns... for example, a front bumper. PS, I hope Nissan buys your design and BUILDS IT!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I'd trade mine in for that one in a second..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffGarcia77 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Put carbon fiber wheels on it, and it'd be a real winner! But seriously, I think this study looks incredibly good. I especially like the profile. Perfect Z-car proportions and shape in profile. Let's start our own car company and build this ourselves.

djbit Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! I would defintely pick one up if ever made. The creator should send this to Nissan!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buZy Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Seriously! Nice work! The front end kills it. Push your design further....... More high classy, Jap/Ital. More shark attack, More paint down low. Black plastic appearance surfaces suck and less euro boxy blah. Though I have to confess it's better the the current 350z. You asked. (oh no i didn't) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjhines Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I can imagine this retro car... being made entirely of composites and light as hell. Keep it small like the original and give it a lighweight normally aspirated 4 cylinder engine. <1800lbs and <200HP for a driver's retro 240Z. Spartan, light, and affordable. With looks like that it will sell! I love the design. Like many, I try to imagine slightly different lines and treatments, but that design has been tastefully developed into a beautiful form. It might need some sort of integrated bumper. It also has the gaping maw of the original. That does not work well for aerodynamics. You might look to the 280ZX for a more workable front end design.

HLS30-08077 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 You might look to the 280ZX for a more workable front end design. You're kidding, right? Kinda kills the whole "240Z Concept" does'nt it? I I totally understand your reasoning but the ZX is a square box, compared to the smooth lines of the original. That's just me though. I love the design but have issues with the rear louvers. Maybe a short window design or something else but no louvers. JM2C. Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators RTz Posted May 13, 2008 Administrators Share Posted May 13, 2008 I love the design but have issues with the rear louvers. I have to agree with that. Also, the front strikes me as 'trendy' rather than 'timeless'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzinc Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I hate to sound like a ninja turtle, but man that zcar looks awesome. whoever did the design should be in the nissan design dept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemicalblue Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Im sending this to Mad Mike maybe he can pull some strings and get Nissan to check this out. I would buy one today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
