The Nissan Z designers had some other interesting designs during the development process.

I'm so glad it didn't come out like that ugly red abomination. It looks a Saturn Sky Redline.

I do quite like the interior renders here.
In a way, i kind of hope they still have some analogue gauges in the instrument cluster.
Never been a huge fan of Full digital clusters. Even half and half would be sweet

Yeah they did the right thing. That red car is an overstyled mess.

I like seeing stuff like this and getting an idea of the design process. that's quite the difference between the red car and the Z Proto.

How fun it is to be a designer. The interior, especially on sports cars, should always maximize design around the contact points - steering wheel, shifter, pedals. Those renders are sweet. One design I've always loved is this on the S2000, how most controls are within easy reach from the steering wheel, hands don't have to move much. I know this is not within the Z heritage but a welcome departure IMO. Would be great if the HVAC knob on the right side is replaced by a drive mode selector - sport, track, etc. Love this dash design. The Z32 has the idea also, but buttons are too small.
