ABstract
To combine the latest technology, lightweight materials, and advanced construction to produce a sophisticated, yet visceral interpretation of the original vehicle. The 180SX which made its debut in 1988, was a new flavor and style in the growing gt class. In designing the Neo 180SX I wanted to create a car that is advanced, yet simple. A car which requires little sythesising of the driving experience.

Interior:
The Neo 180SX features a fixed Tach and Spedometer combo gauge, but several Multi Function Displays (MFDs). These MFDs are capable of displaying a wealth of information, in real time, showing the driver various information about the condition of the vehicle, its performance, energy management, and entertainment.

Entertainment:
Aside from downloadable screen savers, sounds, interface designs, and games, the touch-screen Center Console can also be used as a monitor for either broadcasts, or when a game system is connected to the interface port. It will employ a simple graphical operating system with "Windows" styled GUI. Simple buttons on dash change displayed information on Dash pod-MFDs. Info pairing is able to be customized from Center Console in the options menu.

Seat Design:
Both the passenger and driver seat feature lightweight composite materials in their design. Based on customer preference power seat control is available, including bolster adjustment. The seats feature an ergonomic design and in all grades come equipped with a seat cushion adjustment motor to stimulate blood flow for long drives, or when in the car for a long time. On luxury grade models, there is an optional back massage for one or both front seat passengers. The seat design is remenescent of the original S13 seat, a very unique and racing inspired seat, with its deep bolsters, factory belt hole, and tall, single piece back.

Driver Dash:
The driver sits in the hot seat in this road fighter. A compartmentalized driver dash pod, fully adjustable, with tilt, and a motorized telescopic steering wheel. There are overtones of the original 180SX dash in its shape, and the fit-like-a-glove feeling it imparts to the driver. Although the S14 and to some degree the S15 abandoned typical Nissan sports car dash styling (prevalent in R32, Z32, S13 etc.) I found the contiguous style of dash, appealing, but not as affirmative as the classic dash pod, which made a re-appearance in the G35.
