Route KS created this NSX Spider concept car relatively recently, about a couple months ago. It is really hard to gather information when you can’t read Japanese. Initial impressions, I think it looks pretty good. However, there are still a lot that remains a mystery that I want to know. For example, is this a soft-top convertible? Or topless? From my assumption, I am thinking that it is the latter and that might be inconvenient at times.

There are styling cues that are taken from several different cars. Most noticeably, the stripes are from the Ferrari F430 Scuderia. I am indifferent towards them. They can be done with or without.

The exhaust surrounds are from a Lexus LS which I don’t like. I much prefer regular exhaust tips. The back is my least favorite part of the car. I feel that it is the area that received the least amount of attention. It is very dull compared to the rest of the car. The LS exhaust surrounds and the rectangular vents are very tacky. I would redesign the vents and relocate the exhaust tips higher up to make room for a full diffuser, something similar to the Amuse GT1.

The seats are from the R33 GT-R, which is another thing that I don’t understand. Why these seats in particular as opposed to Brides or Recaros? Also, I don’t see any harnesses or seatbelts. Strange.

The car sits on Work Emotion XC8’s with 17″ in the front and 18″ in the back.

Here is Max Orido’s seal of approval with a thumbs up.

Route KS has definitely built an interesting concept car. It looks good and with some further refinement in the details, it has a lot of potential to be a great looking kit for the NSX.
