Nissan is coming out with a ~20K RWD sports car, slotted under the upcoming 370Z. Some say it'll be named Silvia, like the Japanese-market-only affordable RWD sport coupe discontinued in 2002.

I kinda quit drawing it before I was finished coloring things in, but oh well. I think I'm getting better. As always, all manner of critiques, comments and suggestions welcome.

that's a really good drawing. kudos.

everything is good except the fisker-isk grill

Yeah, I really like the overall shape a lot. But I'm not sure how that grill would look in real life. I would tinker with the mirrors, the top of the windshield, stretch the headlights, and play with the hood a bit too.

I like the swoopy lines on the sides.

Very nice drawing. I don't think the car will be a two seater though. I would like to see a modern day 240Z.

 

[Zulehan]

A little less sporty maybe, with the grille up in a more 4 seater position, but more cohesive and better overall.

Pretty sweet...for a nissan...

 

[LAChevy24]

looks better, and your "cornered" headlights look better than what nissan did

 

[LeSabre]

I like it for the most part.
I wish it was of an American make, not Japanese.

 

[Slideways]

Looks way better than the Z, but since I don't like the Z, so you deserve a better complement: Great job!

 

[Andonis]

wooow - great skills!

I've got nothing against Japanese makes. I judge the car by the design and traits, not country of origin. Hell, if it's a nice Hyundai, it's a nice car in my book. I gotta say, in a country that typically isn't much of a leader in anything but bread and butter sales, Nissan has often been a design leader. The 1990 300ZX was an amazingly hot car for its time. I would have made this one an evolution of that car, but it's not really the true successor.

This is more a 2+2 affordable sports coupe, meant to compete with the forthcoming Genesis coupe and Subaru coupe, the Mustang, etc, and Silvia is the right name. I think it might look something like this, though a hell of a lot more beautifully executed, with subtle and refined contours and interactions of line and form.

I kind of think it is like a retro 260Z, I like it! Nissan got way too lofty with the current 350Z. Good Job!

That hood and the grille just suck!! Damn, the rest is cool!! Dude, Think Supra, and go there!! Nissan and their stupid grilles, ack!! The center of the hood looks like an Olds, that's so yesterday.

 

[Bravada]

God, I'd like a Nissan Silvia. And I would certainly LOVE one like that!

What about the more recent one?

 

[tollytime]

What about the more recent one?

Way better, but the grille should be gone or just a styling slot. The hood crease could be just one down the center. Maybe split the the small slot grille. Careful, you might make a Pontiac.

The first one is pretty good, though the nose wasn't sellin well to me. The 2nd one is great!

And your quality is wonderful!
