Quite a talented artist.

The renderings we've been seeing lately have shown some promising potential directions for Nissan's designers to take. If Nissan fails to design something engaging, the works of these designers will show us that the new Z did not have to be mediocre. Nissan needs a design champion and the new 400Z is a tremendous opportunity for Nissan to take center stage.

The amount of hours the artist put into this is incredible. I really hope someone at Nissan sees this, especially the Nismo version!

Hope Nissan keeps the original design philosophy, which was a light, reliable, and affordable sports car.

I will probably wait for the 2022 model year tbh. They will probably iron out some typical introductory kinks from the first model year.
