Nissan designers were already working on redesigns of the company's mainstream models when talk of a new Z sports car came up. Creating the Z helped pull everyone through, he said, both in the design studio and in other parts of the companyThe new Nissan Z sports car has an overall shape reminiscent of the original Datsun 240Z. The new Z's design is clearly reminiscent of the 240Z, the very first Z car, unveiled in 1969. It looks very similar to the Nissan Z Proto concept unveiled in September of last year, but with subtle sculpting differences, Albaisa said, due to being stamped out of real metal instead of formed in carbon fiber.
