The new Nissan “Fairlady Z” has undergone a full model change for the first time in 14 years. At the Tokyo Auto Salon 2023, a commercial model that faithfully reproduced the “FAIRLADY Z CUSTOMIZED PROTO” was unveiled for the first time, but it is unknown whether NISMO specifications have been developed. Under such circumstances, body kit designer Ted Li predicted the NISMO specifications of the new Fairlady Z and created an image CG.
What if the new “Fairlady Z” had NISMO specifications?
The new Nissan “Fairlady Z” has undergone a full model change for the first time in 14 years. Delivery in Japan and the United States has also begun, and many customized vehicles were immediately exhibited at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2023 held in January 2023.
Under such circumstances, Mr. Ted Li, a body kit designer, predicted the NISMO specifications of such a new Fairlady Z (overseas name “NISSAN Z”), created an image CG and posted it.
The new Fairlady Z, whose North American specification was unveiled for the first time in the world in August 2021, is the seventh-generation model on the market. In addition to incorporating the design of the past Fairlady Z such as the first model, it has attracted a lot of attention, such as being so popular in Japan that some dealers place orders by lottery.
NISMO, on the other hand, is Nissan’s performance model that incorporates the experience and technology cultivated through harsh motorsports. So far, it has been developed not only in sports models such as “GT-R” and Fairlady Z, but also in various models such as “Serena”, “Note” and “Leaf”.
The new Fairlady Z is currently selling NISMO parts, but there is no announcement of the NISMO model. However, 91.8% of the respondents to the questionnaire “Are you interested in the NISMO specification of the new Fairlady Z?”
Under such circumstances, body kit designer Ted Li predicted the NISMO specification of the new Fairlady Z and released a CG named “Nismo Concept Z”.
In the Nismo Concept Z, the entire body is painted in stealth gray, and the bonnet, roof, and trunk lid are painted in black, and each part is accented with NISMO’s red accents to create a sporty impression.
The front bumper is designed with a huge opening, and fog lights with the same design as the “GT-R 2024 model” are installed.
Also, the huge fender duct on the front fender is the same as that of GT-R NISMO.
In addition, the design of the side skirt rear bumper has also changed significantly, and a modest duck spoiler is attached to the rear end, increasing the power.

In addition to this car, body kit designer Ted Li also has a customized model that pays homage to Aston Martin’s one-off model “Victor” to Toyota “Supra”, Tesla “Cybertruck” 16-wheel specification, slant nose I create renderings of all kinds of “maybe” cars that don’t exist in reality, such as the specification Fairlady Z, and post them on my SNS.
On the other hand, in the past, the Toyota “Supra” body kit that he designed himself became a reality and has a history of being exhibited at the SEMA show held in the United States.
The renders produced by Ted Li are unrealistic of course, but considering that once the Supra bodykit became a reality, the possibility of a custom shop somewhere making this Fairlady Z a reality is entirely possible. cannot be denied.
Nissan also unveiled a commercial model that faithfully reproduced the “FAIRLADY Z CUSTOMIZED PROTO” at the aforementioned auto salon, and since many customized models of the new Fairlady Z have actually come out, various Fairlady Z custom A model will come out.
