Datsun XLink Concept Design exercise
With this concept car, is Nissan reviving the Datsun brand?
Is this the first of its kind, a concept destined to become the first Datsun-badged car since 1986?
Not quite - this is called "XLink", a coupé-SUV vehicle designed by a student named Benjamin Nawka - a former Volkswagen design intern - at Nissan's Yulon Design Center as his final thesis project.
It’s a concept that features adjustable suspension, four doors for four passengers and a two-mode diesel hybrid. As a world car, it is supposed to drive in a number of different surfaces, including very bad roads, hence the adjustable legs. A nice futuristic feature in the XLink is something called XLINK Experience communication system which connects “XLinkers” with each other for the purposes of sharing a vehicle or a ride.
The aim of the project was to investigate the possible reintroduction of the Datsun brand as a vehicle to carry certain sporting and technological aspirations of parent Nissan, outside of Infiniti and the mother brand itself. Datsun was quite famous for its Fairlady or 240Z coupés, which were quite sporty during their heydays.
