This Nissan 400Z Rendering Harks Back to the Classic JDM G-Nose 240Z
Designed by Khyzyl Saleem for Hagerty.
The conceptual artist Khyzyl Saleem brought us the Porsche 992-generation 911 GT3-inspired Volkswagen Beetle earlier this month, and now the renderer continues to enhance beloved cars for Hagerty, presenting models such as his custom Nissan 400Z.
Like the Beetle, this rendering of the customized 400Z is absurdly wild. If money was no object and creativity was allowed to run free, this is the widebody kit that many tuners would adorn their car with. It features a G-nose, similar to that on the original 240Z, as well a much wider body kit on the sides sporting fenders and wheel arches that now house Watanabe eight-spoke rims.
Elsewhere, we find the long hood decorated with vents, wide riveted rear wheel arches, a carbon fiber diffuser sporting stacked quad pipes alongside a carbon light surround and a ducktail spoiler, a new set of side skirts that are subtler than you might imagine, and carbon side mirrors.
The artist completes the car with branding on the windows and a Japanese-inspired license plate reading off an abbreviated version of his name. Take a look at the car rending in the gallery above, and watch how it was designed below.
