Spoon To Convert LHD USDM NSXs to Type R StatusWe’re big fans of the IS-F here at TMRT, but we’re not so big on convertibles. So what do we think of Fox Marketing’s latest project, an IS-F-bodied IS Convertible?
It’s hot.
If this rendering is anything to go by, the melding of IS-F bodywork with the IS C’s two-door frame is a winning combo - and [...]
Okay folks, here’s a curly one for you all. As its submission to this year’s LA Auto Show design challenge, Mitsubishi has entered this, the MMR25 concept race car. Looking more arachnid than automobile, the MMR25 boasts a number of ‘innovations’ that Mitsubishi claim will be all the rage on the rally [...]
The automotive Mecca that is the annual SEMA show is getting closer folks, and that means crazy modified rides that bend the definitions of power, style and good taste are not far away.
One such car that will be making its public debut at SEMA ‘08 is the Fox Marketing/Artisan Performance IS-F, which will showcase Artisan’s [...]
Honda took the wraps off the Mugen-developed Civic 5D Mugen at the recent Moscow Motor Show, and suffice to say, it’s one delectable looking hatchback. Mugen have succeeded in transposing the Type R flavour of the two-door FN2 Civic Type R onto its five-door sibling, and it’s tempting to say that the [...]
How does 335kW, 588Nm and a 0-100kph sprint time of 4 seconds sound? Pretty good right? Now, what would you get if you put that kind of performance in a Mazda CX-7 crossover?
You’d get the world’s fastest soccer mom, of course.
In all seriousness though, Kesselman Motorsport’s CX-7 is definitely the most badass crossover I’ve ever [...]
On July 22 we’ll be able to lay eyes on Honda’s newest concept car, the open-topped OSM. While the lack of roof and sporty proportions may suggest that the OSM is a forerunner to the new S2000, don’t get too excited: Honda say that it’s only a concept and in no way intended to replace [...]
If you’re a fan of vintage Japanese steel I highly recommend you pay a visit to Japanese Nostalgic Car and check out Kev’s account of the 2008 Tokyo Nostalgic Car Show. Check it out here, and don’t forget to protect your keyboard with some kind of plastic sheeting - you’ll be drooling quite a bit. [...]
The 2009 Nissan Maxima had its official unveiling at the New York Auto Show yesterday, and although it’s a big, practical sedan (and thereby not worthy of any coverage on JPCN), it does provide some clues about what we can expect the upcoming 370Z to look like. Unfortunately, the prognosis doesn’t look good for the [...]
Nissan held their annual Nissan Motorsport Exhibition last weekend, with the manufacturer emptying out their Zama storage facility and inviting a bevy of other cars to give motorsport fans a closer look at their favorite hero cars. The folks at Auto Otaku were lucky enough to go along, and they took a bunch of pics [...]
Mitsubishi exhibited their “Baby Evo” Lancer Ralliart at the Melbourne International Motor Show, giving Australian audiences their first look at the new WRX-fighter. While the Lancer Ralliart might be the Evo X’s poor cousin, the Lancer Panther concept it was exhibited alongside could best be described as the embarrassing trailer-trash half sister. The Lancer Ralliart [...]
