| Nissan BladeGlider |
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.
