Nissan, the biggest name in automobile industry for its adventure and classy collection. In this series, Nissan introduce with a sporty electric vehicle. Nissan Blade Glider would help to reach a market of male drivers who still want performance and styling in an environment-friendly car. Delta Wing race car has struggled along for the past few years, searching for a nice demonstrative fuel-saving attributes. No automaker has embraced its design more than Nissan, which has hired the Delta Wing's designer for its own experimental race cars. Today, Nissan revealed it's considering ways to make a wing-shaped electric sports car more than a track toy.

Company manager of Nissan says that three-seat Blade Glider concept combines "both a proposal for the future direction of Nissan electric vehicle development and an exploratory prototype of an upcoming production vehicle." Built from a carbon-fiber frame, the meter-wide front performs the same trick as the Delta Wing reducing aerodynamic drag to unheard-of levels for greater efficiency, while allowing the rest of the body to generate down force for better grip. The car features an aerodynamic design that widens from the front to back with space for a driver in the middle and two passengers in the rear. "The driver's seat has been positioned in the middle of the vehicle to give a sense of a pilot in an airborne glider," Nissan said.
In this version, Nissan says the Blade Glider would draw power from in-hub electric motors at each rear wheel, an idea that's been floating around the industry for more than a decade. Nissan doesn't specify what kind of power or performance it would grant the Blade Glider, touting instead a driving experience that would emulate flying a jet along the road. That concept never made it to production, despite Nissan's billion-dollar commitment to the Leaf EV, it's been reluctant to step beyond the safety of commuter electric cars. The question isn't whether Nissan could put something this radical on the road, buy why it wouldn't.
