This is the 3,975th thread devoted to this car in 2 days - I think people like it!

...I know I do! It's the wallpaper on all my computers already.

Nissan, you have a winner here - just make it affordable!

Awesome design but not the future Z Car.
Would be sweet to see Infiniti come out with something simular to this.

!xoible · 03-05-2009, 04:00 PM

there's a reason it has a infiniti badge on it, not a nissan. unless they want to sell the Z for more money than GT-R

nogoodname · 03-05-2009, 04:15 PM

LOL........ Everyone is in love with this car........ I do too

This hybrid is gonna be so awesome if the production car will look similar . That's if a pro car will be released

Why the lumpy bits on the A pillars?

Side view cameras instead of mirrors.

That interior is finer than frog hair, IMHO.

brisk · 03-05-2009, 10:00 PM

wow.
looks like the g37 but stretched, molded, and chiseled.
i like it though.

Sickness. Pure Nismo Sickness.

kdo2milger · 03-06-2009, 03:21 AM

hmmm....nice....but i think it will be more expensive than the gt-r

why did they do the driver seat in black and the passenger seat in cordovon brown.

and where are the displays for thew side view cameras...

would like to see the engine too

That gauge cluster gave me wood.

In an hour I'm going to be pulling out splinters.

kdo2milger · 03-06-2009, 06:03 AM

i just noticed the rear view camera just under and center of the rear spoiler.

notice that there is no rear view mirror, just one long winshield...

MightyBobo · 03-06-2009, 06:36 AM

In my perfect future, I dream of an LCD or OLED gauge cluster, possibly touch screen that is completely customizable - want a different engine metric displayed? Just pull up the menu just like you'd add a widget in Vista or something. Place it where you want. Use 2 fingers to stretch/shrink it. Change the colors of the sweeping arm/text, or make it "digital" style. Lock it into place. Done.

When you slam it in reverse, the whole LCD becomes your backup camera, with the sides of the screens showing your side mirror cameras, merged together to form almost a complete 100% rear view of the car with no blind spots.

The truth is, theres really nothing preventing this from being able to be done right now, other than someone willing to spend the money to make an interface that'd work with it. I'd suspect it'd cost $5000 or so, depending on what'd have to happen with the LCD.

^^^ Still a few problems with doing it, but I agree, that'd be pretty sweet. I've had that thought for a long time. At one time I was writing some software to do the customizable cluster, but I ran out of funding and time so I gave up on it.
