What do you get when you cross a Volkswagen Polo with the engine from a Suzuki Hayabusa? You get a pint-sized pocket rocket that sounds like a disembowled banshee, that’s what.

We’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 [...]

Although notorious for producing the god-awful Orochi “supercar”, Japanese coachbuilding company Mitsuoka does occasionally get things right.

Take, for example, the newly-unveiled Himiko hardtop convertible. Yes, it’s yet another product of Mitsuoka’s peculiar fetish for retro-British styling, but unlike the ungainly Jag and Rolls clones that bulk out the rest of the Mitsuoka stable the Himiko [...]

Transplanting entire front ends between cars is nothing new. For instance, the “Strawberry Face” S15-to-other-S-platform swap is a tried-and-true mod, and the nose of an R34 GT-R also seem to graft quite well onto a WGCN34 Stagea.

For many Z purists the Fairlady brand lost its way somewhere between the 280ZX and the Z32 300ZX, evolving from what was once a lightweight, chuckable sports coupe into a big, lumbering boulevard cruiser.

In fact, even though Nissan started to bring the Z back to its origins with the Z32 and the Z33, many Nis-fans [...]

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 [...]

…but when it involves a tyre-shredding 2JZ-powered S15 Silvia, it’s simply too much fun to give up.

Because it’s a bit of a slow news day, I’ve decided to treat you guys to a video of one of the biggest smoke machines I’ve ever seen outside of Japan. It’s Driftwork’s new S15 drifter, which they purchased [...]
