After news of another Nissan sport coupe might go into production these photos just emerged today.

Winding road article

I didnt read the article but looks like a 350z with a differant wing and wheels. Guess it what lies beneath that counts

Looks like a wolf in sheeps clothing. Like the panels are just slapped on top of another car. I wonder whats underneath?

NOPSTNS · 06-12-2007, 09:36 PM

250sx? maybe? to fight mazdas rwd Kabura (rx3)?

Gorilla Unit 33 · 06-12-2007, 10:14 PM

automakers use panels from current models on test vehicles to hide what their intentions are when it's early in the product life cycle. it's also cheaper to modify existing panels than manufacturing low volume prototypes.

didnt anyone else see the thread a few weeks back about the awkwardly shaped s2000? some ppl thought it was the next nsx under it, some ppl thouhgt it was the next s2000. same situation here.

imo every genre is full of cars and competition is high, but the 20k rwd sports cars are one giant hole in these sea of boring cars we deal with. nissan has their target and its the same as mazdas. build a rwd coupe for 20k, whichever dishes it out first will get the benefit!

a lot of companies are rushing to build some cheap ecnobox to rip off scion but mazda and nissan are pumping away at sports cars that the world can actually afford! God bless em for it!

edit, i found some pics of the Kabura. right now its a 2.0l miata engine retuned for 190hp up from mx5's 170. rwd 6 speed and 20k. the interior will no way look like that in production but the exterior , sans the headlights, doesnt seem too out of this world

Not too crazy about the body lines though..

92dxman · 06-13-2007, 02:48 PM

Has Mazda put out any new developments regarding the Kabuki? Last I read, they decided not to put it into production..

SeMaxima99 · 06-13-2007, 03:13 PM

all i know is that it would be fun to have another little car to do bigger motor swaps in.

licensedtothrill · 06-13-2007, 03:23 PM

in 07 the 305z got a new engine. well 65% new engine. When i was on my test drives the guy mentioned they were planning on a full body remodel with the new engine for 08. this could be it.
