That's the Z Concept

- Guys, that picture from FreshAlloys is the official Z-Concept car made by Nissan. It is the same damn thing as the Nissan website. Get over it.

- Right now, its the concept because (surprise) it's not quite ready for production. They're still tuning the upcoming VQ based 3.5 liter V-6 and the styling isn't finalized. Most likely, the grille will be split into three parts, two small ones on the sides and one big one in the middle. Check out last month's Road & Track Magazine to see their artist's renderings. Nissan also ran into problems with the vertical door handles. Some people are afraid that the show car's handles might snare a pedestrian or tree branches.

You guys, do know that the Z car concept didn't have an engine til it was introduced. All the other cars except the one that drove on the stage didn't have an engine, just a plastic cover. BTW, busybeetoys is a very unreputable source out of Japan. They start all kinds of ******** rumors..
