Story

With homages to past generations such as its long-nose, short-deck form, its LED headlamps trace two semicircles recalling the first-generation S30.

Stories

A character line like drawing a bow

Irie took the 240Z (S30) headlamps with their domed covers and combined them with modern technology for the headlamps of the "Fairlady Z Prototype." The character line was adjusted in increments of fractions of a millimeter to express the flow of power from the front engine to the rear tires. The way the line melts into the body near the door handle is meant to evoke power stored to the limit like a drawn bow and then released all at once into the rear fender.
