AiR Magazine #1 Highlights

[Phatmiata]

This magazine came out in Japan about the same time of the demise of the mighty R&S magazines.
They only had a short run of 6 magazines and then stopped production.

What? KG Works made a wanna-be Ferrari Miata?

Actually IIRC that Red NB the "TS-Coupe" was designed by one of the same guys from the original M2 staff. I have an article on it somewhere, ill have to see if I can find it now.
AutoBacs in Japan also made a similar "Turn-Key" version of the coupe with that front bumper called the MM1 Roadster or something.

I wish we had that kind of aftermarke here.

Actually I was talking about the silver NB. I dig the red TS.

If you like that silver Miatas kit, Barchetta makes a similar one called the "Aston Coupe Roadster"
