Sneak Peek: Nissan IDx Nismo

,

Project 240SX Land Speed Racer's Chuck Johnson approves this combination.
Datsun SunnyHere is a car you don’t see often, a Sunny!
datsun wagonAnother rare sighting, a wagon! I dig its Radio Flyer theme.
datsun 1600ccA little 1600cc sits under the hood. Ahh, the era of engines with the intake and exhaust manifolds on the same side of the head.
For some reason, this one reminds me of something out of Russia. It could be because I have the Olympics on the TV right now. I’ll tell ya what though, the modern day Russians do seem to love the R35 GT-R.
I think many would agree that the BMW 2002 was the inspiration for the Datsun 510. I also think that many would call the 510 the poor man’s BMW.

The Nismo IDx looks to be inspired by the Datsun 510 which may have been inspired by the BMW 2002. Well, BMW has a new car out called M235i. If you squint really hard, you can see some BMW 2002 in it. The M235i is rear wheel drive. Hey Nissan, if you’re listening, the IDx needs to be rear wheel drive too. Just sayin.
