Concept Photoshop 240Z/Fairlady Z

Nissan's plans for an affordable, rear-wheel-drive coupe to slot in below the current Z have been rumored for years and we've been informed that internal politics have killed off at least one revival of an iconic Datsun. If work ever gets underway on another budget coupe, Nissan should seriously pursue Polish designer Iacoski and his interpretation of a 240Z/Fairlady revival.

Aft of the a-pillar, Iacoski's inspiration is clearly apparent, blending the old 240's slopping roofline and short rear overhangs with the muscular haunches and angled fender flares of the current 350Z. Up front, the Photoshop wizard retained the old Fairlady's elongated hood and power bulge, and matched them with a front air dam, bumper and headlamp arrangement influenced by the second GTR Proto concept.

A revamped S15 would look a lot better.

You know what if they did some work on this it would look better than the 370Z and yes i know the 370Z hasnt come out yet but with the pics leaked of it already and the photoshops it dont look like much of a replacement more like a Face Lift to the 350

IMO 380z sounds better than 370z

Everything aft of the front wheels looks tight. But those lights... not so much.
