You've done transmac cars, what about transfem?

I've indeed done transmasc cars, so sure, what's the point in pretending I'm better than that.

As explained in the post above, I feel like for a car to be trans it has to have undergone an aesthetic transformation of some sort - so this post will be about cars that changed face (before to the left, after to the right).

While some voted it most transmasc car of the post and it literally started off with a female name, I actually think the Onevia looks a bit more transfem to me (that's one sentence for the "how did my life end up here" folder).

But there's one more front end alteration with its own name these cars have under their belt.

Enter Mitsuoka, a small Japanese car manufacturer that mostly specializes in taking cars that just aren't weird enough and solving that problem. Indeed, they worked on that Silvia too, turning it into the Mitsuoka Le-Seyde - but I'd rather show you the newer version, based on the last Silvia generation, because I feel like the contrast it offers is genuinely unmatched.

Yep.

And I know what you're thinking - where in the absolute pants did they get this idea? Oh, you're gonna love this one: from Zimmer, an American company founded in the 80s to do exactly that to the Mustang!

Zimmer went bankrupt in '88.

And then was bought up by Art Zimmer (no prior relation) and did the exact same thing to the newer Mustang!

and to the Town car!

Zimmer ceased production again in 2020. "Why?", I cannot fathom anyone wondering. Well, simple: they made the silly mistake of not being in Japan, where Mitsuoka is still thriving doing stuff like this.

Also, speaking of Mitsuoka, you really need to see what they ended up with when they put their hands on the Honda NSX platform (creating a concept that however would reach production as a fully unique car).

And if you thought this couldn't get any better, the two cars above are called, respectively, Galue and Orochi. Wow.

To finish, I would like to submit one I'm not sure can compete but I like too much not to mention: the Pit Crew nose kit for the first generation Mazda Miata!

And of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't include the inspiration for the Dias Classic (which annoyingly seems to have a sweep going on for itself in the poll), the Subaru Vivio Bistro.

And as a treat for y'all, I found one modified in bosozoku style.

I don't believe this poll deserves a larger sample size, but you can reblog this post if like me you think it would at least be really funny.

Mitsuoka Le-Seyde based on in this case an S15 Silvia. Earlier versions were based on an S13. Mitsuoka was(is?) the official importer for London Taxi cabs into Japan as well.

A rich feeling of bliss that only those who ride it can enjoy. Absolute comfort that will not be influenced by other people's evaluations. That's Life Second Dream, Le Seyde.

Life on the Grand Stage; Happiest moments: a rich feeling, known only to those who ride in the new Le-Seyde. The comfort is close to ultimate. Who cares what others say? Your second life starts here --- the way you always dreamed it could.

Today I witnessed greatness. A car I've only seen on google images, I have seen in person for the first time. As a kid, this was up there with the Plymouth Prowler (Don't Judge). [Swipe] to see the Mitsuoka Le-Seyde in all angles. #mitsuoka #neoclassic #jdm #nissan #nissans13 #nissans15 #leseyde

Mitsuoka proslula vesměs skutečně nevkusnými pokusy přeplácat existující vozy do pseudo-retro stylu. Model Vieth naplácal na základ pocházející z Nissanu Micra rysi klasického Jaguaru S-Type šedesátých let, luxusněji pojatý Galue připlácl masivní masku připomínající historické Bentley na sedan střední třídy, příšernost zvaná Le-Seyde se svezla na vlně neoklasicistních vozů

A pak je tu Himiko. Roadster postavený na základu Mazdy MX-5 minulé generace s protáhlým čumákem a led světlomety snažícími se imitovat klasický Jaguar XK120. Krom všech těchto hrůz má automobilka ale na kontě prazvláštně vypadající sporťák Orochi, který sice není úplně pro každého, určité kouzlo mu ovšem upřít nelze. Třeba že jej někteří krásou přirovnávají k Multiple.

Nyní však automobilka světu představila vůz Rock Star, kterým však dokázala svět motoristických nadšenců upoutat. Tentokrát jde opět o přestavbu Mazdy MX-5, namísto kulaťoučkých anglických sporťáků padesátých let se však v tomhle případě Japonci inspirovali u americké legendy o dekádu novější. Chevrolet Corvette C2 Sting Ray byl v době svého uvedení opravdovým zjevením a dodnes si dokázal zachovat dávku šarmu, která jej zařadila mezi nezapomenutelné sporťáky historie.

Mitsuoka se tentokrát inspirovala opravdu hodně, zároveň však dokázala sladit linie vozu s jeho úchvatnou předlohou. Zároveň jako by tvary Corvette C2 přímo pasovaly na základ dárce orgánů v podobě aktuální generace Mazdy MX-5. Vůz působí retro, ale zároveň je natolik uhlazený, že moderní prvky nepůsobí na voze nepatřičně. Rám okna i střecha Mazdy s celkovým vyzněním vozu splývá, chromované nárazníky mají šmrnc a dokonce ani kulatá LED světla nahrazující typické mrkačky nepůsobí nijak urážlivě. Jak se zdá, tentokrát v Japonsku vzali přestavbu sporťáku opravdu za správný konec.
