You say it’s sheet metal is on display. Do you think they just take the finished body and sick vinyl on it?

Man, no shit: when I did the launch drive for this car back in 2014, they had all this British stuff everywhere. Union Jack flags, The Who and the Stones playing all over the place. But all the engineers there were German guys! “You like the new Mini, ja? Das ist ein kleiner Rennwagen, ja?”

I’m just happy a major automotive publication finally explained the difference between the Group C Skyline Turbo C and the Super Silhouette version it always gets confused with.

Great article! I never knew that Nissan ran their motorsport programs in such a manner. Bummer Nissan repeated history on the Nismo GT-LM.

And also BlueMazda2, he helped a lot.

I’ve been trying to get featured on Jalopnik for years, and now that I have...I wasn’t expecting it to be for this.

I remember being a kid and falling in love with the Twingo because of those press pics you posted.
