The Nissan Hyper Force Concept is A Vision of the Sports-Car Future
The Nissan Hyper Force concept is yet another concept the brand released as part of the Japan Mobility Show.
Like the others, this one is an electric vehicle. It uses an all-solid-state battery and can produce up to 1,000 kW. It has all-wheel drive and a carbon body.
Eagle-eyed readers will notice the design pays homage to Nissan's sports cars -- you'll note that the rear taillights nod to the GT-R, as one example.
A dual-level rear diffuser controls airflow for aerodynamics, and there's a rear wing. Carbon wheels also help keep the weight down.
In another nod to the GT-R nomenclature, there is an "R" drive mode for racing and a "GT" mode for "grand touring". The interior lighting changes based on drive mode, and so does the information presented to the driver. Four "satellite" screens around the main screen show additional information that's needed when on track, such as tire grip and temperature, air pressure, brake rotor temperature, and power distribution.
Flip it to GT mode, and the screens move around and the info changes to things that are more relevant to street driving. The seats are made of carbon fiber.
LIDAR is used for advanced driving-assistance systems, autonomous driving, and assisting with on-track/sports driving.
Finally, a combination of augmented reality and virtual reality can be used to allow drivers to "race" others virtually when the actual vehicle is stopped.
