Just dug this photo up from last year, driving around the town of Carmel after Miatas @ MRLS.

The thing I like so much about the ND is how it can serve multiple purposes, both daily driver and high performance toy. It does both with a big helping of fun factor mixed in, and without making big compromises either way - particularly with a GT model like we have. It's already very light by modern standards, no need to strip the interior out to save a few lbs. Our Roadstersport exhausts make it possible to have a dual-personality exhaust tone that is civilized during cruise and sings when you want it to, no booming or obnoxious noises to be found here. With a great set of suspension and brakes, you can drive all day long with great comfort and confidence and then drive right on to a race track and hit your apexes, then drive it right home. It's why I always go back to the Porsche analog when describing how well the ND can be set up to "do it all". I still think back to cruising up the California Coast Highway last year in the ND as one of my favorite moments ever in a car.

New front subframe braces being tested! Pics are fitted to the Fiat but these fit both ND and Fiat the same.

A pair of triangular side braces tie the rear of the front subframe to the chassis:
And a cross-brace slides within the factory under panel and ties the two sides together:

New sway bar prototypes being tested. Still finalizing details but our aim with these is a balanced, moderate amount of body roll reduction for comfortable road use with aggressive pricing.
