what was the point of even drawing that concept above me
Like I said, that was the concept drawing for the our 370Z. This was the winning design, within Nissan, for the Z following the 350Z. Concepts are just that. Once you have to actually build it and take into account human ergonomics, safety equipment, government regulations, actual mechanics, etc.... you get a toned down version of the concept based closer to reality. The good news is most concepts can get closer to reality faster because of CAD modeling and rapid prototyping. Alot of concept cars this days are working prototypes that look closer to the actual production model.
