IDX front end has the 510's slight dip in the middle of the bonnet, and a flat upright front like the 510 rather than the pointy backward sloped front of the Corona. The profiles of the two are remarkably similar. Why attribute inspiration to other marques that look remarkably like 510s???

Nissan IDx channels Datsun 1600

“It’s no doubt a source of inspiration was the [Datsun] 510 [as 1600 was known in some markets] and [old Nissan] Skyline,” Nissan’s division general manager responsible for product strategy and advanced planning, Francois Bancon, told CarAdvice at the show.

... of course heavily inspired by Nissan's rich history of two-door models, including the hugely popular 510 Bluebird of the 60s and 70s, know here as the Datsun 1600..
There's a touch of the classic 'Hakosuka' Skyline coupe in the IDx's design, too. Really, you could sink hours into finding familiar features in this new concept's classic look.
In the case of the Nismo concept, there's also a colour scheme that will be instantly recognisable to fans, evoking memories of the legendary Team BRE 510 race car...

NEWS: Nissan’s IDx Freeflow is the Datsun 510 reborn


Of course the whole world could be wrong and Nissan are really building a retro homage to Fiat/Toyota/Corvette. The 131 Arbath came 8 years after the 510 btw, and looks all but identical.

I see alot of SP311 Silvia in the profile of the freeflow version as well. But I realise how crazy it is to suggest Nissan might be taking inspiration from their own 60s and 70s machines. I'm just not outside the sqaure enough I guess!

Hazza your failed and unconvincing rhetoric of the paint, wheels and twin headlights making it a 510 is a sad effort. Most here have their own eyes if you havent noticed. Who are you trying to fool with that clown effort?

Benny the post 1968 shovel nose corona coupe, celica & cherry is spot on
everything else but a 10% at max 510.

Every time I look at it I see styling lines from classic 60 - 70"s Japanese cars. I just doesn't quite work for me yet. The pic below I can envisage, P510 and Mk1 shovel nose corona.

Side on, I see, Te celica. the rear end taillights say P510 bluebird coupe. Rear panel is flat and reminds me of the P510 also, Its the C-pillar that throws me off, its more E10 cherry to me.

As if DDGonzales or any intelligent datsun enthusiast doesnt know that you just used twisting rhetoric to try and sum up the obvious to the rest. Talk about pointing out the obvious and failing. There is nothing about it that screams 510 its chalk and cheese to the original styling.
BRE libre wheels and a paint job dont make any car a 510!, twin headlights where on fiats, toyotas and corvettes you name it nothing 510 there! Angular C pillar with a slight rise of the rear quarter where it meets is lifted from the Fiat 131 Abarth, now Abart there was a real designer the Japanese copied repeatedly.
The slab on below the front grille on the beige is like the slab of garbage you tried to feed us. So far the real 510 enthusiasts in Australia have rejected it, now thats saying something. Yet hairdressers might like it.

Toyota or Subaru have nothing to fear so far.

Which 510 styling cues does it have?

I'd say the beige one's tailights are very reminiscent of 510 JDM Bluebird coupe. The angluarity of the whole design is a 510 cue, with blunt/upright front and rear end, although that also reminds me of 120Y with the way the ends curve up. Anglular and forward leaning 'C' pillar and it's trim on the Nismo version is also 510-ish, as is the profile of the roofline. The rear quarter and the little rear side window is more B210 2dr sedan/ C110 coupe / 610 coupe than 1600 though. Twin round headlights can be atrributed to many old 70s Dattos, 510 included. The "libre" inpired wheels on the beige one scream 510 due to their association in USA. Obviously the BRE inspired paintwork on the Nismo version is most commonly associated with the very successful and popular BRE 510.

180b c pillars

Looks retro but a 200b and hasuka dont make it beautiful. Looks well suited to a retro 1 make series race.
