Nissan Z Proto: What the photochoppers and memesters think

This week's big unveiling of the Nissan Z Proto concept – more a pre-production prototype than an actual concept – has been a hit with fans, if the CarAdvice comments section is anything to go by.

With 240Z inspiration and a little Z32 300ZX thrown into the mix, design boss Alfonso Albaisa's team appears to have pulled it off. Much remains to be known about the latest Z car, and the price is perhaps the one detail that has fans biting their nails.

Beyond that, onlookers have been keen to see how the Z would look in other colours, in top-shelf form and, although few have asked for it, Roadster form.

Here we've collected a selection of renderings from around the web, and we'll update this story as new efforts emerge.

And, for giggles, we've thrown in a few memes too.

And how about this classy black-on-copper cabin?

Take me to stance town!

We know the yellow is a throwback, Alfonso, but you should've expected this...
