Nissan finally unveiled the new Z Proto, which ultimately previews its upcoming 400Z model. People were excited that a new Z sports car is coming, but some have qualms about the Z Proto's design. An automotive rendering artist named Al Yasid used his skills to fix those design "glitches" and rendered his own spectacularly amazing Proto Z version.
How Z Should’ve Looked Like
Al Yasid – whose widebody Nissan GT-R rendering was previously featured on HotCars – posted on his Instagram account (@yasiddesign) 3D-rendered images of his Z Proto. He has so far created three versions, but it was the third set of rendering that caught our eyes. At first glimpse, it wouldn’t be a surprise if someone exclaims, "This is what the Z Proto should look like!"
From the front end to the rear section, Al Yasid managed to fix things that some Z fans and enthusiasts are complaining about. It's not that these people don't want a new Z, but they somehow see the prototype as less aggressive and more bland in design. It's hard to blame them for their misgivings.
Reimagining The Z Proto
Nonetheless, it's also hard to blame Nissan for the design of the Z Proto. After all, they went through a lot to ensure that the latest Z would have a design that harkens back it to its legendary past. However, the historical link was too obvious that it doesn't seem to look at the future. The Z Proto simply lacks the aggressive character that sports car prototypes have.
Here comes Al Yasid's graphic creation. His Z Proto version features a slightly longer front section, a longer front bumper, new headlights, and a new front nose. It also dons a widebody kit with sporty fender flares and borrows the rear window louvers from the Fairlady Z.
Tantalizing Color Combo
Furthermore, the color scheme of Al Yasid's Z Proto rendering is just as tantalizing. Its metallic burnt orange and metallic gray combo blends well with carbon fiber parts. Overall, this is how a Z should look. Technically, it isn't too late for Nissan either.
