it's just a layout change, not the end of the world.

I'm sure your non-existent Skylines will be fine.

I really enjoy reading Mike Fuller's Mulsanne's Corner.

Aero and balance above all else... Leads engineers to do some funny things.

It stands to reason this car would be very good at tracks like LeMans with very long high speed straights.

I want to know more about the CV joints.

Mike is a good guy, worked with him for awhile.

Why is everyone saying front wheel drive, when it's actually all wheel drive? pertrol driving the front and kers, driving rear and front (at times).

Curious how Bowlby's latest creation works, the Deltawing surprised a few as it developed.

Because people only equate drive wheels with the ones powered by the ICE. That's the problem.
Plus Nissan's own press release says "front engine, front wheel drive."

I loved Nissan's concept car in LOEG.

Super weird and super different. Despite being ugly i'm holding my judgement until we see if it actually works.

We all said the same thing about the Delta Wing when it was first announced, although that never really panned out.

You have to understand, Nissan has been disappointing me for years so this is more of a last straw thing, not a singular event. I detest the gizmo R. They killed the S chassis, I dislike the VQ engines and the lack of boost in the Z. The fascination with CVT drivetrains is infuriating and the idx debacle the crowning slap in the face. I've had enough. The only vehicle in the Nissan lineup that excites me at all these days is the Leaf. THE FRIGGIN LEAF! What bunny hole did I fall down here?

I doesn't even look good. So disheartening.

Hoosier Daddy · 02-07-2015, 09:48 PM

Not sure if mentioned but this car was designed with Ben Bowlby. Guess what other phallic racecar he designed? And was more than just wacky in it's own right.

Edit: I see it was mentioned...sry

HOLY CRAP!

So... What I'm seeing is that it took 2mil$+ to make a good fwd car? And only one of them? Sounds about right.
