That would probably have a lot of the old school 240z fans shivering in their shoes. Interesting concept.

Good god that's hideous. I can't believe Nissan would have two Zed cars running at the same time??

[martinmac]

Hopefully it will never see the light of day.

I thought the 350Z was supposed to be a modern version of the 240Z ?

 

I loved the look of the original but that new thing is fugly!! (except for the roof line which is cool)

[nixy]

the real thing rarely ends up looking like the concept anyway but that just looks like a beefed up smart car to me. Its yuk.

[Toon Chris]

Utter sacrilege

240z never was a 4 door, thing it's just some journo clutching at straws, prob a student study soemwhere

[lomoto]

Are you referring to the car or to Tim, Nic?

[stanski]

Do you remember those doughnut fat tyres - look at the profiles - compared to the rubber bands we have today!!

[Stew]

Tim hasn't changed a bit.

 

He got a little less hair and the car has got a little rustier but that's it! :lol:

 

I'd never drive that 'thing' they have designed.
