Sivax Xstile concept to debut at the Paris Motor Show

Sep 17, 2004 – The second in the 'Streetster' series following the 2002 Kira, the Xtile is a product of collaboration between the Sivax Paris and Yokohama design studios. While aiming on the hardware side for a fully-fledged sports car package, the designers have envisioned a sports car with the rich appeal of a surreal character, using the images of Japanese animation as a conceptual anchorpoint .
