I am holding out for the Toyota 87 and Subaru CRZ to come out!

Chip Foose is a good example of this. His drawings are great, but when you are using them as reference to a car you are "overhauling" why not make the proportions the same as the one you are actually working on?

It's like if you hired an architect to design a house, and their elevation drawings didn't match the actual design because they thought it looked better when they showed it to you.

For the same reason everybody takes pictures of cars from about 6" off the ground?

Hmmm, I think you are on to something there.

Hopefully some real info drops shortly.

I like it too. As others have said, clean, simple, not overwrought (like the Supra). Goes back (a bit...) to the original design philosophy of the 240Z.

If it's available with a manual transmission, I'd seriously consider it. If it ever actually comes out.

This looks so bland to me. Maybe it will appeal to more people being this boring.

Now, that 3000gt render though... Style like this is something I can get behind.

I think they'll toggle over to the greek alphabet after Z.

I feel more excited about 400Z than Supra and next-gen 86. Looking forward to see and maybe buy one.

A better scan from the Supramkv forum.

3" vehicle ride height

And the list goes on. Idk how we're in 2020 and people still allow themselves to have such a Pikachu face when the final production version doesn't look exactly like the original concept design on these new cars.

the scanned article mentions both a 300 and 400hp version of the VR30DDTT. i think people are forgetting that the Z is a $30k-$40k car. i think it looks fine for that price range.
