IDX Nismo Reveal

7speed · 11-20-2013, 10:21 AM

If this is the FRS competitor they are talking about then they need to bring this to market as close to this as possible. Get the right engines and trans and keep the weight down, this could be a hit.

Not sure how the styling is going to play with the FRS/BRZ crowd. Maybe huge with 80's retro fans, maybe not so well with the average consumer? I don't know.

Neat concept, though. RWD, peppy I-4... Would like to see one in production.

Love it. So many ways to customize.

zmanelite · 11-21-2013, 08:04 AM

I will most probably get one when and if it come out
Bad *** retro/future styling

The Nissan IDx Nismo Concept Is The Rebirth Of The God Damn Datsun 510

I actualy kinda like it.

I'd take that over a tC, for example.

Any official confirmation yet on whether a next-gen Z will be debuted Friday?

I found this Nissan To Preview New Z Sports Car With Tokyo Motor Show Concept: Report

But for all the trotting out of the iffy idx concept, I've not even seen a cloaked silhouette of the next gen Z yet... tomorrow, huh?

kenchan · 11-21-2013, 09:17 AM

i thought camaro and mustang and charger (maybe not chrysler) were all done with the retro-thing?

Cmike2780 · 11-21-2013, 09:18 AM

How awesome would this be as a DD? Something about it makes me want to do silly powerslides. A badass rally version would be killer.

m3chhawk · 11-21-2013, 09:19 AM

Two new platforms, new Nismo cars, and a new Z. Nissan is on a roll.

Apoc370z · 11-21-2013, 11:38 AM

Am i missing anything here? Personally i think they made a big mistake..

The targeted "audience" for the BRZ/FRS is the younger generation, like people in their early twenties.. most people that age care less about performance or power to weight ratio as long as the car looks good and sporty.

This however probably wont grab their interest as much as the FRS/BRZ.. at least not majority of them. Not saying IDX's design is bad but would you rather drive a FRS to school or an IDX?

the concept and design is pretty unique, i have to give them that

I disagree. People who aren't into cars, want simplicity and could care less about "sporty". Those people couldn't tell the difference between a Civic and a Sentra. The young crowd who want something unique, sporty, rwd and affordable will like the Nismo version. Just look at the Scion tuning crowd and this is leaps and bounds better than an Xb or Tc. I'd pick the IDX over the FRS/BRZ and would gladly drive it to school. When I see a kid in an FRS/BRZ drive one to school, I can't help but think poser/douche/wannabe racercar, ....not car enthusiast. I see a kid rolling in one of these, I think it's someone who's into cars. The target audience for the FR-S/BR-Z is ages 25-midlife crisis.
