Sidenote:
Everybody keeps saying this is purely a 510 revival, but does nobody else see the 1968 Silvia in it?




To me, it looks more like a hybrid of the two cars, that I believe they created to appease both groups...
It looks like a bunch of cars actually. I'd throw this in the mix too. That's why I love this thing so damn much.

As an always s-chassis owner (never have I not owned an s-chassis since I was 14), I absolutely love and applaud Nissan on the IDX. I think it goes back to roots, and I am happy that I see SOME s-chassis resemblance. I was pumped when they showed it at TAS, and am more and more pumped with every new photo/ mock up.

I also get excited with the name having the X in it. it is like "ID" to come, with an X on the end.

AKA 240sx (which we know will not happen), aka 180sx, aka whatever - if it ends in an SX, I will be ridiculously pumped. I think this car has suffered some flack because the hype was so built up for basically another s15 that people didn't like the new direction, but as far as new cars go - this one looks darn solid. It is mean, lean, and RWD. If they give us turbo, what more could we want?

Its interesting while the Kia Stinger does look interesting i more question the concept of it coming to market at all for some reason. The IDX is confirmed and in my opinion in Nismo style trim would be a pretty cool looking car especially dropped on wheels. Of course i am still holding out on the next Z as well. Contrary to what certain others here have said about Nissan of late I honestly think these lean toward much more positive than negative about the company.
But of course in typical Zilvia fashion some one always has to complain, when something close to what they're asking for does not satisfy or seem to satisfy there every whim.

I'm just happy at the thought Nissan is going to be releasing 2 new sports cars in the next 3 years and possibly both of them might be turbo. Yes please.

I share the same thoughts.

I think people are so stuck on wanting a s15 in the states, that in their mind the car needed to look similar to it. It isn't going to happen, the auto industry and style has changed so much it isn't even funny.

This is about as good as it can get, and the FR-S too. Both deliver, imo, style wise. At least this may get some power and boost, which the FR-S cannot claim at the current time.

I am happy, no doubt!

^^^I said the exact same thing about the FRS & look, Toyota got it (kinda) right with factory 17's and low profile tires. 18's actually perform worse... I fully expect the idx to compete in every way, including wheel size, except we won't have to deal with shitty 5x100 lug wheels.

Okay, car's kinda growing on me. I'd still choose an frs over it, even the stinger if it gets made, that is if missan stays true to the concept, but i am starting to feel this car. Even if im not in the market for a new car, and even if the concept hasnt fully convinced me, the idea that nissan will deliver for our group is pretty cool, who knows what they will do next if this thing sells Good. But anyway, im anxious to see the production model!

I just think Subaru was able to do so by keeping the engine N/A, having a boxer layout, and tucking it well within the engine bay.

But I go agree with you that I would rather have factory boost. I hope Nissan can provide a decent drivetrain for this car.

Continuing to look at Broadfield's coupe next to the IDX, I began to wonder if those proportions might really be right. I mean, the IDX looks smaller than a damn S13!

S13 specs
Length: 178.0in (452.1cm)
Width: 66.5in (168.9cm)
Height: 50.8in (129.0cm)
Wheel Base: 97.4in (247.4cm)
Ground Clearance: 4.3in (10.9cm)

Nismo IDX concept
Length: 161.4in
Width: 70.8in (66.9in for the Freeflow)
Height: 51.2in
Wheel Base: N/A
Ground Clearance: N/A

Yep. Way shorter and wider than an S13. Bodes well for the possible curb weight, especially considering how light a modern 1.6t engine must be. Could you guys imagine if the IDX was actually lighter than an S13?!?

I think it would be fantastic, but doubtful considering all of the safety features new cars require. The BRZ has a shorter wheelbase? But I think it still weighs slightly more.

The IDX concept is a step in the right direction. My only hope is that Nissan can offer a car built from this concept and still differentiate it from the upcoming Z model.

I have a feeling those dimensions will change once safety regulations come into play. As odd as this might sound, I hope Nissan limits the amount of these for sale in the U.S. At least for the first year to gauge the markets reception of the car and reduce any financial risk if its a bust.

With all of Nissan's talk over the past few years about lighter stronger chassis I wouldn't be at all surprised if it comes in right around the same weight as the later S Chassis cars.

The overall length being shorter I would attribute to shorter overhangs. The amount of car beyond the wheels or core support on an S13 is kind of nuts.

The width is probably just the wheels on the IDx Nismo. I can take the car being around the same width and a good bit shorter.

That is fair.

Sorry if I said anything out of line, I tried to keep it professional.

Would be cool if they released a car pack for Gt6 or Forza with the IDx driveable!

I'm kinda wondering why Nissan didn't do this in GT6. Toyota did this with the FT-1 and it's a solid move to give the company and concept more exposure.

With Digital Polyphony & Kazunori Yamauchi designing the GTR's onboard display system, you'd think that Nissan would use that special relationship to get the IDX into the game quickly... But nooo. Somebody is asleep at the wheel over there.

If they were on top of their game they could have had that car to Polyphony ready in time to appear in game the same time the concept was revealed. Imagine the hype of seeing it in motion in game before ever hearing about it online.

Doesn't Polyphony tend to be anal with the details such as they way it sounds and handles etc etc. I'm sure it's not to the point yet where they would be able to create a realistic experience to the caliber they like to provide. Patience young padawon.

Wouldn't be surprised if the trans is made of glass though...
only problem is, everything i've seen about the IDX is going to be all automatics.. no manuals

actually, no. a manual transmission was the most requested option for the car by people at detroit this year who saw the concept. even nissan reps have been quoted saying a manual option will most likely be happening.

please read thru the ENTIRE thread if youre new!

There have been tons of concepts and vaporware cars in the GT series. So long as how it performs in game makes sense for what it should be or is claimed to be all is well.
