Side on it looks like the original 240Z, very nice.

I have one thanks!

Where did these photos come from? Are the just a "artistic impression"?

I think it looks even better because it's guards, Front and Rear appear to be pumped out. If not for that I would say it would be an even more acheivable project. I would love to see someone re produce that front end. I reckon you would sell a packet of them if you went into production. Sits nice and low as well.

Yer the Miura concept car was my first thought when I saw that rear end but the guy certainly has got taste as that thing is also beutiful, both the "new" and old one of my favourate shaped cars.

made a bit of a montage of this. size is set to suit my desktop but it'll do alright for most widescreens.

Yeah if I hadn't done all that work on my car (front & rear) and seen this first I reckon I would have tried to emulate it on my car. Too late now.

and apparently here is what it most likely will look like

Note the 260z 2+2 rear quarter windows FTW !

Oh and it is hotter than 19 yards of chicken giblets with onions on the side.

These cars are so much fun.
