If Aston Martin Built a Nissan 370z?

This is probably one of those custom car builds that inspire you and are hard to forget! Meet Jordan Harper’s one-off 370z. This is one of those projects that turns heads, but not for the reason you might think: probably from all the confusion of not knowing what are you looking at exactly!

Instead of your typical wide-body Z build, Jordan decided to go a different route that’s much simpler. he decided to change the car’s front design by customizing the bodywork a bit around the headlight, and the result… well just look at that thing. The car looks like a European exotic at this point more than a Japanese tuner.

If you squint your eyes you’ll see the car looks like it could’ve rolled out of the Aston Martin factory. Yep, Harper’s creation shares more in common with a Vantage than a Nissan at this point, to me at least, and that's what makes it such a special build.

The Aston Martin Vantage:

Now of course the Aston Martin Vantage is probably a bit longer and wider, you know, an actual supercar…

It’s probably also the matte silver color Jordan chose, and the bright yellow brake calipers that’s giving it this upscale Aston Martin Vantage vibe, take a look below:

When you first spot it, the sleek front-end, paired with the subtle curves and already aggressive proportions of the 370z, give the car a certain presence. Harper's attention to detail—plus using the existing the low-slung shape from Nissan —gives the car an entirely different, and frankly menacing stance compared to a stock 370z. It’s almost like the 370’s sporty DNA was fused with the elegance and class of an exotic, creating this hybrid look that stands out in a sea of more common, run-of-the-mill builds.

The rear is still obviously a 370z but still, I think what Jordan has pulled off here is nothing short of a design masterclass. Simple yet so different. I don’t even think purists of the Z platform would mind this distinct style. If anything I’m personally wondering how this can be done on a 350z…

Custom builds like this remind us why the car community is so creative. Not everything needs to be a homage to the original design. Sometimes, it’s about taking inspiration from something unexpected— some people won’t like that idea but to each their own. Harper’s 370z might just make you look twice and rethink what’s possible with a platform like this!
