I can't quit this car. Who remembers the IDX and hopes Nissan will still build it?
I'd happily take it as an EV, but a reskin of the Z might be smart -- Nissan could save a ton on engineering!

It was one of my favorite concepts of all time. I spoke to shiro nakumara about it who was the head of Nissan design at the time in 2016. He told me the reason it never happened was because there was no existing platform (chassis) for it to share so it would have been to expensive to go into production and that was why it never came to be

The only way I see the IDX, or something like it, is if Nissan makes it an EV so it can share a platform as @MCN1SMO mentioned. An electric coupe and 4-door option of this could be a lot of fun.

They got to change the name now since I'm sure VW wouldn't be afraid to sue since they use the ID name on all their EVs.

Absolutely LOVED this concept as well.

With a small 1.5T it would be a HOOT!

Cost would be under $30k

And the styling is also that retro-cool.

I would have been happy with the Juke RS 1.6 turbo engine in it with about 220hp. this thing would have been such a fun autocross car

 

[St00k]

Agreed. That would be an exceptional engine. And with a little tuning a very reliable 250-hp.

I actually just saw the Rogue press release this morning about the brand's 1.5T motor

2022 Rogue to feature Nissan’s all-new 1.5-liter VC-Turbo engine

Nissan introduced an all-new Rogue for the 2021 model year, delivering high quality and customer satisfaction through its strong combination of design, safety and technology.

201-hp and 33 mpg combined. And that would probably 35 or 36 mpg in a car like the IDX

thats a healthy little power bump the 2021 rogue we kept for about a year had like 180hp from the non turbo.
