Some interesting highlights... from the BIMS...

non-studio shots of the Lotus Evora *actually looks not too bad*





Honda S2000 Concept!?!?!?!!?!


The rear 3rd quarter view bears some semblance to the prev. gen Alfa Spyder

Honda is doing a straight 180 on the next S2000, judging by the concept car revealed at the BIMS today. The Honda S2000, a dynamic marvel with that screaming 2.0-litre engine and excellent short-throw 6-speed gearbox, has been due for a new model for some time now, as rivals keep bettering their offerings. The concept uses Honda’s hybrid technology, although our feeling is this would not be the engine of choice when the street car debuts.

Featuring integrated rear lights, a flowing bodyline and a shape clearly related to the Civic hatch, the S2000 concept seems to have been shortened and its stance widened. There seems to be a lot of flow in the lines, giving the car cleaner, more seamless looks. Interior again, is a Civic relative of some note, peppered with blue background lighting, digital speed readout and utility buttons. And the concept is no longer a roadster; we see space for two baby hobbits at the back. No sign of where the roof goes though, and none of whether said roof is made of canvass or tin either.

Ford Focus RS... mean and green





Alfa MiTo... looks a lil' stumpy and the wheels dun seem to help






Revised facelifted RX8

hi, anyone knows wats that car behind the white RX8?

[Mockngbrd]

i think thats the Mazda Furai

[centurion]

the Evora.

4 seater mid engine Toyota serviceable parts 6 speed manual 1350kg ..... all the right words.

Price should be between Cayman S and Porsche 911 C2.

So SG price should be S$290K?

Really not bad!

the rear windscreen also has hints of bespoke Zagato-designed cars. nice touch

is it "front" midship or traditional midship midship?

hard to imagine traditional midship with 4 seats

the front windscreen is very far front, almost to axle, that's how they squeeze in the engine in mid behind rear passenger. Also, the 2GR-FE is transverse mount, so save alot of space. Still I think the rear seat is smaller than that in the GT-R R35.
