Nissan IDx

The Nissan IDx is a concept car that Nissan introduced at the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show, supposedly inspired by the Datsun 510. It was Nissan's answer to the rear-wheel-drive tuner craze and a direct competitor to the Hyundai Genesis coupe and the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ, aimed at young buyers and racing gamers alike. Some of its quirks might not make production, such as side view mirrors replaced by cameras and a side-exit exhaust. The two concepts carry the numbers 003 and 004, which suggests Nissan may be building more of them. Nissan says the name takes ID from identification, the things people relate to personally in a car, and x as the variable for new values and dreams, and the D and X may also nod to the Roman numerals for 510. The NISMO version is expected to use a 1.6 L four-cylinder shared with the Juke NISMO.
