I thought to myself, I dont think I can get used to driving a right hand side car... regardless I opened the door and sat down in the car admiring everything until I realized it was an automatic...
Abort Mission

How did they even make that an option?

Until today I've only seen one R33 Automatic and that was the one.
I never knew that was an option either.... transmission swap maybe? IDK

I concur...concept looks like a bloated marshmallow... The actual production car looks way better in my opinion, something that rarely happens.

I've been thinking about this and "observing" other cars on the road since you posted this (I've also seen this before). There are plenty of late and current model cars that have hoods that open from under the hood line, or even below.

The way I see it is the "offending" hood opening had nothing to do with crash safety standards. What it had to do with was producing a single hood that would fit on multiple nose configurations. I suspect if they had made a hood that ran to the "edge" of either the BRZ or 86 nose line, it would not have fit the other requiring two different hoods.

Thanks for sharing. I think it looks a lot better in live photos.

Same here! I wouldn't say better than the current but definitely better than the renders.

X2, the concept was clean and simple, but the production car had more body lines.

I did however like the taillights better on the FT-86.
