MINI 2005
The 2005 MINI Concept Frankfurt revisits the long-roof Traveller idea through a modern design study. Its significance is architectural: it asks how a recognizable MINI could offer a different relationship between passenger…
Mitsubishi 2005
Concept-D:5 investigated how Delica’s utility and all-terrain identity could be expressed in a new minivan. Its tall physical form, cabin treatment and proposed four-wheel-drive powertrain make it a different kind of Mitsubishi…
Mitsubishi 2005
Concept-X translated Mitsubishi’s performance-sedan ambitions into a physical show vehicle. It belongs in the Evolution story, but it is a concept with its own presentation date and specifications. The 2005 Tokyo release…
Mitsubishi 2005
The IX GSR is the Japanese six-speed road specification of the MIVEC-equipped 4G63 sedan. Its equipment and record scope are distinct from the five-speed GT and competition-oriented RS.
Mitsubishi 2005
The Japanese IX GT occupies a distinct position between GSR and RS. The five-speed transmission is a factory specification, rather than evidence that a GSR has been converted.
Mitsubishi 2005
The Japanese IX RS is a factory competition-oriented base model. It has its own catalogue column and model information; a stripped GSR cannot be authenticated as an RS by appearance alone.
Mitsubishi 2005

Nissan 2005
The US-market 2005 Nissan 350Z 35th Anniversary Edition marked thirty-five years of the Z story with a recognisable combination of performance equipment, colours and commemorative identity. Nissan's anniversary retrospective specifically highlights the…
Nissan 2005
The GT-R PROTO gave the clearest public view yet of Nissan's next-generation supercar design at the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show. Nissan explicitly described it as an indication of the final design direction…
Nissan 2005
The March 15SR-A joined Nissan's Japanese range in August 2005, combining the HR15DE engine and XTRONIC CVT with the SR programme's handling and body specification. Nissan's original announcement is explicit about both…
Nissan 2005
The original Nissan Pivo proposed a different answer to city driving: rotate the cabin instead of making the driver reverse. Shown in 2005, the three-seat electric concept combined a 360-degree rotating passenger…
THE RARITY RIDES STANDARD
A limited offer is not automatically a completed-production total. A surviving vehicle is not a complete factory census. We keep those distinctions visible and link each collection back to the individual profile’s evidence.
