Default 370z silhouette

hello all,
nissan recently presented 3 new silhouette, one of them is the 370z, i inverted the colors on the leaked picture:
and ended up with this picture:

you can see the headlights and the aft quarter panel are different, the A pillar looks modified too.

i'm trying too increase the contrast to have a better idea but i'm not equipped right now.

i also attached a composite of both the silhouette and the 350Z for comparison

I saw these yesterday.. but it does look curvier and more sleek from the side (more angled a pillar/wind screen, wider rear fenders?)

The rear window reminds me of the old 240z's.

i agree on the 240z looks on the back, it's also makes it more back heavy, more like a 911. what is sure is that it looks different (and maybe better) than a lot of the ugly concept art you can find over internet.

Because they're teasers... they're supposed to look like that.

this picture was a projection on sheet of cloth of what you could see if the car was behind it. took by a camera phone... so it explains a lot, it's not an official nissan release. just a show teaser.

Wow.. well at least the paddle shifters let you take advantage of that 0-60 time capability.
