"leaked"? No no no, the first Z concept car was all over the big auto-show
circuit way back several years ago. It was based on the 240SX platform, had
a 4 cylinder engine and was a very scary POS that was resoundly trounced in
press and public opinion. That design was luckily trashed and they started
over from scratch...

I've been hearing that a lot about cars recently. It's too bad,
really.
I've heard from very disreputable sources that this is the result of a
redesign after they leaked their first design to get a reaction and
decided to start over...
I never really liked the Nissan Z cars after the 280ZX, but the first
edition 300ZX is actually starting to look pretty good.
