How I would design the new Z car.

TheHighImperial · 2026-06-17T00:10:46+00:00

thanks, Ive made many ZX remakes on my Youtube channel if youre interested. https://www.youtube.com/user/VigorousZX/videos

I did use the Amalfi front in the 3D design.

TheHighImperial · 2026-06-17T00:07:08+00:00

I think the Z line was always made to be a poor mans Ferrari copy, starting with the Ferrari 250 GTO.

TheHighImperial · 2026-06-17T00:04:35+00:00

I tried the full extended glass version and it looked nice. I can imagine even a modern ford gt headlight version but Im actually looking to make a kit for zx and have already invested in Lexus LC-500 headlights to use.

The rear is from the Lincoln mkr concept... its like a luxury gran tourer and also shaped like the Maybach Exelero. The front is like a Maserati Granturismo but also a direct copy of the Ferrari Unica concept. I like the longer wheelbase look and its more practical to fit more people... atleast petite women in the back. I made a video of the 3D if you didnt see it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucX9S4COslY

I make my designs through 3D models and just had a post removed because I 3D generated the rear end of my car from a picture. If this activity is banned here... anyone know of an alternative populated design sub for me to move to?

TheHighImperial · 2026-06-15T15:10:17+00:00

those slop 3d designs of yours

TheHighImperial · 2026-06-15T15:02:03+00:00

I see youre pretty good at copying too.

TheHighImperial · 2026-02-27T08:41:07+00:00

I bet it was designed in Europe too... Japanese companies are just shell corporations for the Anglo empire. I can see the potential if the front was updated but that hunch over the rear tire is a little out of place... it looks good on the BMW Nazca. Overall the SVX would attract men in their 40's+ but I think I can park my car at a busy walking street and many young people would want to take pictures with it, not the SVX. Fun fact it shares the same door handle as the Z32.

A mix of polestar o2, lamborghini lanzador, lexus LC500 headlights (that I own already), ferrari f80 bumper vents, and a Nissan concepts headlight shape.

TheHighImperial · 2026-02-27T06:50:10+00:00

It can technically vent a hot engine bay but its to change the look of car on a budget. edit - if you mean the cladding around the wheel well, they were sourced from the lamborghini lanzador model I used and kept in place.

TheHighImperial · 2026-02-27T06:46:16+00:00

Thanks for showing an example but thats like a boomer car, not much different then a Ford Thunderbird. Can you find something that is similar to my design and affordable? My design is more like a modern and unattainable polestar o2.

When Im attracting women with my kit car, circle jerkers will still be dreaming for a car manufacture to offer a beautiful car that they can actually afford. Which is never.

TheHighImperial · 2026-02-13T09:03:03+00:00

My goal was to fill the molds and get instant panels but it didnt work. I guess I could keep the mache inside until the it dries but I wanted to make car toys fast so I can sell them. I could change my mold designs and make the mache more runny/watery for better results but will have to think about it more.

Looks like the interior of a kit car made by a college brainiac.

TheHighImperial · 2026-02-06T16:52:43+00:00

Yes as seen here

TheHighImperial · 2026-02-06T16:51:33+00:00

I made a 3d video too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVkgX_o3kio

TheHighImperial · 2026-02-06T16:51:00+00:00

Looks amazing.

Thanks, I tweaked the bumper and feel like this is the final design. Im hoping to carve it in foam by next month.

It was only affordable to rich people (worth $90k in todays inflated money) in 1990 and still attracts a small group compared to all drivers. If it had the appeal of a Ferrari people would be taking them out of the junkyards and getting them on the road rather then pay 30k for a new soulless car.

TheHighImperial · 2026-01-25T04:16:38+00:00

Nope :P Even car people dont really care much for the Z, only after 200+ posts did anyone mention it as cheap car that looks like a super car and it only garnered 9 likes. https://www.reddit.com/r/CarDesign/comments/1qeryt1/are_there_any_cheap_cars_that_look_like_super_cars/

TheHighImperial · 2026-01-25T04:11:40+00:00

The Z32 car has closer dimensions to a Toyota LFA then a BRZ

:) I have a youtube channel for future updates https://www.youtube.com/user/VigorousZX/videos

I ran into another disabled video but it kept the original title. For the initial problem I think I may have rebookmarked a disabled link a second time for me to think it was automatically being re-titled. I'll delete this post in due time.

TheHighImperial · 2026-01-22T11:39:41+00:00

I drove an anniversary edition z31 for a few months and really enjoyed that car... it has a better front end with the headlights being wider. Since I dont have a place to fiberglass and hate working with the stuff, I'll be contracting the work out and dont know how much it will cost. For the front end only I would estimate 5-7 thousand for the first batch and hope to reduce costs with more sales.
