Nope i like the original better, think about Giant intercooler, Supra mk4 style

I thought the Z Proto couldn't look any better, and I still don't know, I think I like it both ways. Although I appreciate the effort to make the front lighter looking, but I can't avoid looking at it like an Aston Martin, so it could have been a little different, maybe just leave it black but change the width of the bottom or something

I think since it's curved with the front bumper it will give it some depth irl, instead of it looking like a 2d rectangle stuck on the front. Like almost all cars, I think that it will look better and more natural irl.

I like what you tried to do but the original's short, stubby look makes it more muscular vs the elegant look on yours. I agree on the Miura vibes (which should have had the wheelbase extended to match) but I still prefer the original which is very reminiscent of the F-type.

id say you arent alone

The hood bulge in your redesign is far less noticeable, extending it and lowering the front fascia takes away from that heritage, also the side air intakes look massive in comparison to the reduced size of the headlight, not a big fan of this one compared to the proto

Love the redesign, simple yet improves it so much

Now your redesign looks damn good!! I'd buy it

You can't make it better, Nissan did it perfect

Great job on the front end design of the 400z sketch , l really like what you did here, making the grill opening more narrower really works

The front end duct thing looks a little bit like the new Ford Focus front end. Imo the proto looks really the best. Doesnt mind the grille.

Wow came out so good

I was hating the '22 Z since the very first picture emerged, but your redesign does actually work really well. Amazing job

you made a nissan look like an Aston Martin. cheers man 😁👌🏼 love your job !

Excellent! Just what the new Z needed imo...looks great!

It's very rare to see a car company doing well in the design department nowadays.. Nissan is going in the right direction so far

11:35 I instantly thought of Eddie Murphy😂

Gorgeous!

Simple changes, massive difference. Good job!

Everything looks great, but it kinda looks like a kia stinger ngl

Yes, after seeing this redesign i think Z is more elegant now. A perfect blend or inspiration and passion. Definitely a great Modern Classic.

Brilliant design, gives me aston vibes I won’t lie

I like what you did when you stretched the front. It had real 300zx vibes there. After that, I'd take a hard pass.

it looks so much better

To be honest the only part I really like about this redesign is the rear bumper going more down from the side view. With the original design the rear end kinda disappears a bit. What I really don't like are the changes between front intake and front wheel house. Especially the "triangle" between wheelhouse headlight and the added inlets. It just does not blend into the rest of the car's design and it also makes it look too wide in the front. If the front wasn't extended you could also get rid of the inlets. They just pop out too much the way they are now. The original 'character lines' or what they're called work a lot better in my opinion. I see that with the extended front there maybe was too big of a gap to be left, but I think instead of adding theses inlets the front should have been extended less - maybe by half than what you did here. The front intake redesign however is a thing I would like to see without the other changes made to the front. I feel like it could be better than the original design. The other changes just make the car look different in my opinion. Not better not worse, just different. In the end it now feels less 'complete' to me (which makes sense considering it's the work of a few hours instead of a full design process). But that's mostly due to the new front bumper design.

Definitely like the front end redesign (minus the intakes though) I keep going back and forth on the back end extension, but I think I like the original little more. Regardless, very cool.

It would be cool to see you tackle redesigns of classic futuristic cars from films and games, like the taxi from the fifth element, audi rsq from i-robot or the land rover city cab from judge dredd. How would you push these designs into the future, if you had to pitch those same. Vehicles for a movie today?

So i was playing Hotline Miami while watching, and amazingly the cadence of his voice matches almost perfectly with the song Miami by Jasper Byrne!

I usually agree with Sketch Monkey redesigns, but I think the yellow piece in the grill breaks apart what the large intake says about the car being performance-oriented. Extending the front/rear also doesn't take a nod to the previous 350z and 370z which were typically stumpy looking cars.. I don't know, I think giving the bonnet more of a sharp nose/giving the large intake more of an aggressive angle would've been enough

Edit: You should 100% work with a body kit company make an aftermarket body kit for this car! :) Cant wait for this car, the style is such a throwback with modern design. Plus manual! Love it!

Yep - You Nailed Another One. Nice !!!!!

Cant wait to see some aftermarket tail lights fitted on this 400z.

Both are nice but I like the clean look of the original one

You could do a whole video on the read end tbh Tbh my only flaw is the sharp downerd bend the hood makes and the tail lights just dont look right

I don't know why but the added length of the body reminded me of a Kia Stinger. I say Nissan did a great job with proportions and the production Z is beautiful

I think I like yours better tbh. The original looks like the body is stiff and boxy, but yours looks sleek and relaxed almost. It looks much more filled out and mirrors what the Z is in my opinion. It has a good combination of the Fairlady and 350Z in it.

I personally like the proto how it is. Aftermarket is gonna have a ball with this car tho and I cant wait.

The redesign looks more athletic

"The front end should've been flatter and longer by two inches to give off a super classic vibe in the original design" Huh, This video literally read my mind

The original 240Z was a design masterpiece but with each new generation it got bigger and fatter, more of a grand tourer than a sports car. This 2022 Z is a major reskin with a carried over platform. Nissan has nailed the design, as a combination of modernism and retro it looks great and contemporary without being overdone - the Toyota Supra has some serious competition.

You should be a design consultant for all car manufacturers!

Perfect t shirt for the occasion

I am curious if something like the aluminum trim piece that goes along the roofline could be used to split the grille into two pieces instead of a body color piece. This would kind of mimic the chrome bumper of the 240z in a more modern way. I also really don't like the triangle thing below the headlight and I don't think turning it into a real vent fixes the issue. Perhaps the trim piece could be extended beyond the grille and resolved into something smoother than a triangle.

the front bumper you did is something that I bet will be an actuall body kit

Really cool video, even though I prefer the original, mostly because I didn't like the front grill split. Great video nevertheless.

the front looks like an aston martin after the change lool

This is gonna be an unpopular opinion but between the production car and the render, I personally liked the look of the bigger grill instead. It kind of grew on me but also because it takes in to account minimalist and sharp styling features.

I love this redesign. Makes much more sense than the original design to me.

I really like the back end. I'm not sure about the back window being smaller, I guess they both look good. I don't like the front though. Now I like the idea of the front being a little longer, but by not changing the wheelbase it looks even more front-heavy. I really don't know how this would be from an engineer's standpoint, but visually it would look better with just a little longer wheelbase (but keeping the part after the wheels the same).

The bold open grill looked better imo. But I get what you tried to achieve breaking up the grill. This solution makes the car look a lot more like a 2000’s car. Not a 2021 car. I know its counter intuitive, but I wonder how a slim chrome strip crossing the grill with a bit of overlap on the sides would’ve looked. (It could still be blacked out on more high end versions), but it would fit with the chrome strip in the roof and it would mimic the classic bumper

Glad I'm not the only one that has an issue with the front end.

But the og 240z actually has the big grille its just divided by the plastic bumper..

Agree, the current stumpiness makes it a bit generic. Extending it made huge improvement

From bold to common

Not sure on what you did to the front I think it looks very Aston Martin like

i agree with most of the other things i just really dislike the triangle part in the front

Could you Please do an AC Cobra redesign

Damn I really like the official design but after seeing your touch up it made me wish yours was the official!

I think this Nissan is well proportioned and I like the general style, it’s just the front of the car looks a bit odd. The square grill and the very flat headlights make it look strange.

The stock front grille on the 400Z is ugly as fuck. Glad I found a video of someone fixing that problem!

I see Stinger at the end

Fire

That litle ducktail is inspired by the 240z

I love your shirt. Where can I get one?

Beautiful Car...Beautiful....I will say ive seen a few first looks for the upcoming Infiniti QX60 and Mitsh. Outlander and that Gear shifter looks like the same one in those. just sayin

I would have gone with a chrome strip through the grill to more closely call back to the old bumper. Being a body-color strip feels a bit heavy.

My only Issue is with the bar in the grill, maybe if it was like the lancer evo being black and separated from the body

can u maybe try and design the nismo version of the 400z

i like it. Nissan should have hired you to design this car.

I would have liked to have seen a light bar trimmed in ss going through the center of the grill ending in daytime running lights on the body , complimenting the original. atm the grill reminds me of Beldar in the dentist scene...lol.

Could you please do a modern 96 Mazda Mx-6 LS?

I like the changes to the rear end and the hood being longer. However the piece on the grill is a little too low and bulky. The 240z’s front bumper looks great because it’s right in the middle and is a bit slimmer. Other than the front piece these are in my opinion great changes.

Can you turn the 2022 Ford Maverick a muscle car again? I love all your redesings

Can you please combine the BMW m8 competition with BMW M4 CS

Dude, you made it look better. However, you should not have reduced the size of that triangular rear window. That's because on the 370Z, it is difficult to see out of its small triangular rear window. This is probably the reason they made it bigger on the 400Z. And thanks for putting a vent on the side of the Bumper, because I don't know what that indentation was supposed to be. It was also good that you divided the Grille as well, but I would have preferred a Chrome piece over body color. The front of the 400Z just looks incomplete without your modifications. Among other things, I like the fact that you use strong lines, it give the Car more character. There is a notorious practice by Car designers of using what I call shy lines (semi-invisible lines), which can only be seen when the Sun is at a certain angle, and that's morning or evening. This makes the Car look plain during the long hours when people see them the most, which are day & night. I told an old Car designer friend of mine that when Car designers do this, it is just to impress other Car designers, not the public that actually buy the vehicles. If the public don't notice a design feature, then it is as if it's not there at all.

appreciate the effort, but i think the original design is better, it looks like an aston martin car with this redesign

Still waiting for the Isuzu VEHICROSS design by you
