quick sketch i did.. 180sx successor.

[Bushido]

I've been experimenting with sketching in Photoshop...

Still have ALOT to learn, but thought I'd share my latest 10min sketch...

I'm trying to define what characterizes the 180SX and integrate those design paradigms into a successor that could theoretically come to market around 2010.

I wanted this car to instantly be recognizable as a 180sx.
What do you guys think?

[ZenkiCam]

hmm looks nice but i think the hood is too futuristically round

[Andrew Bohan]

looks like a 180sx

[YoungGun]

Wow nice job, definitely looks like a 180 from the rear, have any of the front?

[brndck]

i'd say its a good start!

[CrimsonRockett]

I'd buy it.

Too bad it wouldn't have gangster fitting wheels like that.

[SW20Racer]

+1 for a good start. fix the tails. and make it boso so people will bitch.

[Vinny]

hmm looks nice but i think the hood is too futuristically round

you...can't...see the hood...?!

in any case, it's a nice rendering. I like it.

[whiterps13]

The upper bodyline needs to extend all the way back to the taillights.

Some of the perspective is off too.

[Bushido]

yeah, the more i look at it the more i realize how off the perspective is...

working on a front 3/4...

[swayray]

i like how you incorporated the fender lines of a z33's front end but mixed it in w/ what looks like the door lines of an altima coupe... correct me if i'm wrong....


its very nice... a concept worth considering.....

[Fonix36]

i think its looks good and i would rock a car like that

[Oo_Skyline_oO]

wow sexy car, send it to nissan

[a_ahmed]

id buy it, i've said it before, but the successor meant to compete with the a3, bmw 1 series that infiniti is suppose to release should be a 180sx, taking it's retro style and modernizing it, refining it. I would definetely buy your car... screw the fancy designs theyre coming out with... they need a refined/modernized 180sx car.. i wish theyd pay u to design it like that lol i swear... that is awesome imho... :-/ Nissan please listen to us lol.

We could always make this posted on every nissan forum and make a petition it could probably happen. Im' sure if they were SMART they would LISTEN to the fans.

[Phil703]

If nissan made that (or somewhat close), I'd buy it! nice drawing, I wish I could still draw :(

[Entry Speed]

Great work!

Can you make one with some equips on it? haha

[a_ahmed]

Great work!

Can you make one with some equips on it? haha

hahahahahahahahahaha proof that the concept works +1 rep for hilarious comment :keke:

[Adam240]

This looks an awful lot like the sketch from subaru. They are working with toyota to make a new rwd coupe... http://news.windingroad.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/subyhl.jpg

As found on the winding road page.

Im not saying it doesn't look good. I would sport one. Just looks like you copied this one and changed minor things in it. I.E.. tails and such. to reflect more a nissan car.

[TPS240sxS13]

me like, cant wait for more

[Antihero983]

well done bushido, you should do a front view as well.....

and then put it on TE37s....;)

and then do a "new" S30Z

[an_orange_s2k]

this is nice. u should send it in and try to have nissan bring it back

[SR20d2fourT]

Nice rendition. Front view?

[joshchewuhh]

i like

ya sketch a front view

[ROUGE180]

Very nice drawing. I like the crude lines and soft styling. Lights are very cool. Please do a rendering from the front.

^This looks like $HIT in my opinion.... it looks like ford mondeo or ford escort or something HELL NO.

Bushido's modern 180sx sketch ftw

Actually I am a computer animation grad, drawing, painting, etc... is my sort of thing... I've worked on a couple of game projects freelance as well... but I just ended up married and went for the IT field instead (quick money lol). I have a trained eye, and honestly looking at both, the only resemblance is that both are 3 door hatches of sorts. The side door lines are completely dif, lights completely dif, EVERYTHING completely dif. UGLY

It looks more like a ford and subaru put together. Fail at life drawing.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/domeniccucunato/car%20pics/photoshops/new180.jpg

If the perspectives were fixed up a lil bit you would have a WINNER I swear to God this is something I would honestly really really want in production... its perfect and would make the wholy s chassis fanbase and potential s chassis fan base ULTRA happy (money money money mr nissan).

If I wasn't lazy to whip out my tablet and fire up photoshop lol... id fix her up.... actually i might (I want to start a side business media related so lolz i need some practice been two years since i drew anything). I could even 3d model it... if I was still in high school/college i would have already jumped in on this and done it for him lol (3d modeling it after fixing the drawing)... and you know what now that im talking about it i kinda feel tempted :P... That is if nissan paid us him for initial concept and me for final/fixed concept + 3d model concept lol It has modern 180sx all over it man... It's inspirational...

[M4Rl0N]

i like it
it looks like a 180sx
so ill buy it

[azndoc]

Nicely done.

I would buy that too.

[LS240]

That looks simply amazing. Especially the tailights, they look completely modern but at the same time are instantly recognizable as 180SX tails. And the really brilliant part is, I don't think it would look out of place in the current Nissan lineup.

Too many of the "professional" design interpretations I've seen for the new Silvia/whatever either look good, but simply wouldn't work given Nissan's current global design theme, or are thoroughly modern designs, but are flat out ugly. A+ for satisfying both needs.

[s13 k3nrock]

wow dude, thats serious skilll
honestly my first thought b4 reading anything was damn that looks like a 180

[jackjack]

i dig it...............

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

i'd drive it tht's for sure.

[Silverbullet]

FYI, Ford is trying to get a reality show going. It's going to be like American Idol except instead of singing, they are entering concept drawings for a car.

So are we going to be seeing the new Ford 460SX?

[a_ahmed]

ew, just the thought of it gives me the goosebumps. Ford fail. That must mean they are that desparete and need & should fire their design department as they don't know what the public wants. Watch and see and it'll be some RIDICULOUS design that brings nothing new to the table.

[Jordan-S13-Silvia]

very nice id buy that if it was listed as a 180sx

[KidSaru]

I'm curious to see what the front view's going to look like. Good job keep it up.

[khmer1]

he got skills for a 10 min sketch damn it look nice i wonna see the front thou will it continue with pop up lights?? it should but that my opinion

[Firestorm]

i think the front lights should be a little S15-like but way more edgy and boxy, more like a triangle. and front bumper should be a little like the 180 facelift bumper, no grill and 3 openenings, but not as round as the old facelift thing but more edgy again to suit the concept.

[yoel]

seriously that sketch looks damn sexy.

[1slowS13]

if it was listed as a 180sx, then itd be braking the nissan tradition of model names coressponding with the liter of the engine

because im damn sure that in the 'future' it wont have a 1.8

[Andrew Bohan]

kinda like how the chuki and kouki S13 180 had a 2.0L engine?

[eds13]

I like it, I'd rock it for sure!

[Entry Speed]

I'd totally buy one, great rendition

v8 powered maybe? that would be sick

[Firestorm]

kinda like how the chuki and kouki S13 180 had a 2.0L engine?

or kinda like the european S13 chassis named 200SX had a CA18DET ;)

[silviaguy240]

lol at everyone bagging on perspective, its a SKETCH, nice job though, rear looks good want to see what you do with the front.

[Teddy]

I'd drive it. Sweet sketch man. Send it to Nissan.

[patriot]

wow man nice sketch. Seriously LOL wish I could do that.

[sillyvia13]

toss some wheels with a super low offset..and a 6 inch lip...
future has to have better balling wheels?

awesome shit broo...
I hope I see it soon...for real
