The Z32 is the perfect example of a timeless car. Even at almost 20 years old it could easily pass as an 2009 model and still with outstanding looks. I doubt there has been a car as timeless as it has proven to be.

As for emulating older vehicles I really think Nissan has done an outstanding job with the 240Z/370Z retro. There are so many lines from the 240Z including the rear end which looks like a tubbed out 240Z. The classic lines are revived yet the car is new and modern unlike the American cars that try to copy the old car including the crappy ancient interior. The Japanese have always been good at taking the good bits from other manufactures and making their own product. Look at the original Z - bits and pieces from some of the best to produce the car that brought Japan to North America.
