tas 2012

At this year's TAS, hyperd cars weren't the only ones that took advantage of being watched. It was also these small cars that got the attention, pocket rocket cars that are perfect for day traffic and fun in the night as well.
Takero's, a Japanese tuner that is known for modifing wagons, took their time and worked on a smaller Honda model, the Fit.

The car is packing everything it needs, a turbocharger, for the go go scene (unfortunatelly, no perfermance output given), a sport suspension, a wide-body, which also helps in fitting wider rims with tires ( the car sits on 225/35/18), for better grip.

After the successful supercar LFA, Lexus decides to make another version, one removing the top of the car. The car was caught at the Tokyo Auto Salon in a demonstration.

Although it is topless, we do not yet know if more changes were made to the overall performance of the LFA. However, from the looks of it, it looks like many features of the car will stay the same.

Following the earlier Nismo projects( Leaf and Juke), Nissan has focused on it's smallest kid, the Micra.
Although a design study, the concept does look rather nice, featuring new front/rear bumpers, with lower splitters, sideskirts, spoiler, incorporated grille and new wing mirrors.
The colors are Nismo standard, pearl white exterior with red and black accents and details. 

No pictures for the interior, but as Nismo states, there are new sport seats and steering wheel.
