Good lord NO! Couldn't look more generic! Misses the point completely! With all the beautiful cars available in the same price range and fun factor, that design would be a disaster in my opinion. Several generations of the Z have been beautiful, and several have been turds. If that is truly the proposed design, don't bother.
Ive seen normal. It aint pretty.

You lie ....because if there was a 67 VW bug with a blown small block in the front ...you would be racing it around town with the rest of us

Almost looks like a FWD by the mini front end

Nope. I am not a bug fan, so not hardly. I am not all about speed at this point in my life.

The last great Z in my opinion was the 300zx.

Nissan would have a hit if they kept the weight under 3000 lbs and it looked externally like a modernized 240z

They still have time to work on the car design, I am not a fan of it. I feel like a lot of car enthusiast is disappointed with how it looks.

They're "renderings" They aren't connected whatsoever to the actual designs, designers or Nissan. There pure speculation done by commissioned artists to get more clicks for websites like Motor1.
Case in point:
