Filed under: Coupes, Nissan, Rendered Speculation

Click above for a high-res gallery.

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.

We're totally smitten and think you'll be equally entertained when you check out the gallery of images below.

That should be the new Silvia/240, by far the best looking design yet.

vqboodah · 08-21-2008, 06:59 AM

wow that car looks amazing!

*Antihero983* · 08-21-2008, 07:28 AM

oh look. its a GTR with a 240/260/280Z roofline. yes brilliant. how did he ever strain to create that?

/sarcasm.

gimma fucking break, cut this datsun/240z talk until there is a REAL GOOD FUCKING DESIGN. jesus, the abortions keep coming out like its going out of style.

ZX88 · 08-21-2008, 12:47 PM

thats right 3 times in a row. that looks so good modern yet it keeps the classic lines.

KwKouki · 08-21-2008, 01:44 PM

they just need to stop fucking around, and put this into production.

*Antihero983* · 08-21-2008, 01:48 PM

^yes, finally someone who doesnt have their head up their ass!

KwKouki · 08-21-2008, 02:25 PM

its so sad too, because it will never happen.

jrbump · 08-21-2008, 05:06 PM

Yep thats what nissan needs, impotent rehashes of the past that look like they were designed in some interactive booth at a "Rod Show".

I guess if it's working for Chrysler it must be good.

I want to buy the car of tomorrow, not yesterday.

KwKouki · 08-21-2008, 08:04 PM

as opposed to your "Car of tomorrow" that looks like it was a copy/paste job in photoshop?

LS240 · 08-21-2008, 11:52 PM

That looks freaking fantastic! Both of the designs actually do, but the one in the OP fits more with Nissan's current design themes.

91SuperS13 · 09-24-2008, 01:38 AM

Look at the current Z, and that is about as close to a classic Z design as your gonna get. Remember, Nissan has spent a shit load in R&D on the FM platform. Now that that has been said, I wish Nissan would build the car in the op, the orange one looks like a datsun confused with a jag xkr
