That interior is just perfection. Also those seats look like they came out of a Porsche GT3

I agree. I “get” the interior much more than the rest but then I haven’t seen so many GT-Rs either.

Two things bug me about it and they’re both in this picture.

Touchscreen HVAC controls

Roll cage with ceiling cross bars in a “street” car

I asked about the rocket bunny rename the other night and no one answered anything worthwhile.

Does anyone know why?

the article noted that they are being sued, I assume by another company called rocket bunny

Very little about this car appeals to me.

Eh, When they get to an R33, let me know.

I’m happily reminded of the Veilside Evolution III kit for the R32 GT-R.

I prefer molding the kit into the body for a smoother look, but the TRA kit is close enough to be a good starting point to achieve a look similar to the VS kit.

1) Who has heard of anyone else with that name, other than the people who make the body kits? No one. So there is clearly zero market confusion.

2) Why hasn’t this been covered by someone in the auto press yet? This is kind of a big deal. I would expect to have heard about it. And more than a casual mention in a lifestyle website.

I found my new poster car.

and I prefer the non-molded kit because it feels more agressive, and less like the everything rounded style the 90s had.

but both are very attractive.

yes, one hopes that cars with rollcages see actual action, and arent driven without harnesses and helmets.

but it certainly FEELS like the decision in this case was one of style, not substance, but lets all just dream it wasnt.

Exposed fasteners are an automatic no from me. I keep expecting the fad to die but it won’t.

Fix that, the paint, remove the stickers, a different accent color in the interior, and something to the center stack. Oh, and drop the price by a whole lot. There’s a lot of good there, just covered by a lot of bad.
