It’s been a long time since a concept car has captivated enthusiasts as much as Nissan’s IDx duo did back in December at the Tokyo Motor Show. To me it’s really everything you could want in a car – a rear-drive chassis, usable interior, a (hopefully) low price and plenty of heritage. Obviously I’m not the the only one excited about this car, and this week we came across a gorgeous render from automotive artist Hugo Silva. As Hugo’s image shows, the reborn 510 will surely be a ripe machine for modification if Nissan does in fact build it. He’s set his up with some very cool stuff including aggressive overfenders, a huge GT wing and a badass set of wheels with thick rubber.
Of course, at this point we still don’t know whether Nissan will actually build this car, and even if they do, it will still be years before we can get our hands on it. In the meantime maybe I should go down to my bank and start an IDx savings fund? You can also peek at some other fan renderings here. Will this be what we’re featuring in 2020? As far off it sounds, that’s only six years away!
