A couple of months ago we told you about this speculative drawing of the next iteration of Nissan’s iconic Z car. Now, what appears to be an official Nissan rendering of the final design has been leaked to the world. It looks like the sketch from March wasn’t too far off, but do you notice something? No, the 2009 Maxima headlights and bulging fenders were already identified in the March rendering. Look closer. That’s right, baby – the side glass and C-pillar is a nod to the original 240Z! Yeah, it’s not much but we’ll take what we can get. At least someone in the design department knows Datsun history. A comparison pic after the jump.
Nice… I’ve seen a few concept drawings in the Japanese mag, J’s also. The VQ37HR is a nice engine! With the G’s having something like 330 crank HP, I’m sure the new 370Z is going to be a Naturally Aspirated monster!
Yes, that’s what I thought when I first saw the side glass and C-pillar too, S30Z!!! Now, if only they’ll put the sugar scoop headlamps in too!
Looks like they’ve gone with a vegetable peeler scoop headlamp.
That C-pillar and fender bulge puts a bulge in my pants. The headlamps will have to grow on me though. 330hp is exactly what the Z33 needed, nice!
