Design Concept / PreProduction

You are right on several accounts about this car being what Nissan will produce. It is still a design study, as concept cars have exaggerated design details for flash. This aids in getting a reaction for public opinion on what they think about specific aspects of the design. Concept cars are designed to gauge the market and see how the public reacts to its design. In this case Nissan went with some exaggerated features too see what the public likes and dislikes and then made a final decision. What you see in basic form will make it to production. The center exhaust, flared fenders, and turn signals on the mirrors will go away for production. With the exhaust pushed out to the sides like the S2000, the fenders less flared, and the turn signals in the normal position. The exaggerated front opening will be smaller with softer edges. Either way, I'm sure the Z will look very similar to the show car and will be a worthy predecessor to the Z32.
