Datsun 240Z · Restomod · Systems
A classic Datsun reimagined as the car the factory might have built next.
[ Build in progress ]
[ THE SHORT VERSION ]
The 240Z build follows a simple rule with difficult consequences: everything can improve, but nothing should feel alien to the car. Performance, reliability, electronics, lighting, and interior systems are being updated as one coherent factory-evolution design.
The proportions, mechanical honesty, and analog character stay. Modernization should remove friction without sanding away the thing that made the car worth saving.
Individual throttle bodies, engine management, cooling, power steering, air conditioning, lighting, and driver information are planned as a connected system.
A deeper British racing green exterior, camel interior, restrained bronze accents, and an uncluttered silhouette set the visual language.
