Hmmm how about

Oem front w/ xenon lip S30/130 > G-nose S30/130 > any Z33

[azndoc]

If I got a black one it would be a emo z.

I kinda dig the PS that Daniel did but it looks kinda like a Scion TC with the colors like that.

so im guessing the new 'shark fin' (you heard it here first) headlights is going to be a staple of future nissan models as seen in this nissan maxima teaser shot

pretty much. i HATE when they do that.

[blasting_speed]

I was reading Option magazine and there's some pix of the new Z. Wheel base will be shorter. I'll take pictures of the magazine and post them....... as soon as i get my camera back.

[SochBAT]

the first concept's headlight that Mel posted is legit. Longer headlights, not TetrisStyled.

[ByeByeSti]

the headlights are pretty badass if you ask me. the leds underneath are def a copy of the r8. but hey least they copied a sick car

[Jimmy Up]

Well, I'm stoked I bought a z33 and wont be kickin myself for not waiting

But stuff like this happens..

70-72 Chevelle SS=King



73 and up Chevelle SS= Garbage City

Sneak Peek: Nissan Exposes Future Z Car

Date posted: 04-29-2008

CASCAIS, Portugal — Taking a page from Mazda R&D, Nissan's top designer hung a "sculpture" today on the wall of a meeting room at the company's Nissan 360 global product review: a sculpture that hints at the design of the next-generation Nissan Z.

When Mazda did it in the 1980s at its North American design studio in Irvine, the joke was that the sculpture was really a life-size copy of the hood and driver-side fender of a top-secret car sports car that everyone was speculating about.

The Mazda Miata was finally put into production almost two years after designer Tom Matano and his team hung their "sculpture," and he laughed for years as he gleefully recounted how hundreds of vendors and automotive journalists had visited the R&D facility without ever noticing that the secret roadster they were obsessing over had been hanging there in plain sight all that time.

Nissan Design Chief Shiro Nakamura wasn't as secretive as Matano — he blatantly pointed out his wall hanging to a group of 80 North American automotive journalists gathered in the hotel meeting room in this costal resort town about 17 miles west of Lisbon.

It represented, he said, a new Nissan that people would be seeing more of in the fall.

With that clue as a starter, the wall most of us had ignored during an hour-long reception before Nakamura gave his pre-dinner speech took on new dimensions — three dimensions, to be exact.

Despite the opaque fabric covering that blurred and softened the shape, it quickly became apparent that the car he was hinting at was, in all likelihood, the new Z due next year.

Nakamura also showed off a crimson red design study that he said contained elements of future design treatments for Nissan's upscale Infiniti division.

Im not sure what to think about that rendering.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

i like the fenders of that Z sculpture. kinda gtr-esque.

[exitspeed]

I think they look two big. Like the hole profile is just going to be wheels and wells.

[kyoru]

it looks like they are returning to the 240Z look judging by the top view. The roof slops down then tapers in to the back, looks pretty sweet except for the big triangular hump in the back.

Autoblog is reporting that one of the Nissan execs said we'll be seeing those wheels at the end of the year....I hope not.

[OptionZero]

headlights are failtown
really

wtf are they doing, overstyling that

just draw the lights and stop, no need to make the fenders cut into the housing

[muddafakka]

I hate these fucking headlights.

front bumper looks very unrefined. imho, it doesn't look all that different to the current model at all. I get the impression as if someone ordered some mismatched after-market headlights and a tacky front bumper. doesn't flow with the rest of the lines of the car. It's not offensive looking, but it does seem unfinished and rather dull. I really hope this is not the final product.

Perhaps the technical improvements will be more noteworthy than the aesthetics. Would be nice to have the attesa as an option.

I think I found Nissan's original prototype for the 370z. It was hidden in the box office hit 2fast 2furious:

[exitspeed]

It has a 240z style b/c pillar! I can live with the headlights. Look at the damn REAR FENDERS! OH SKEET! It looks a lot like a 240z to me.
