Nissan's BladeGlider Concept Drives the Future of EV Technology
The Nissan BladeGlider is more than just a concept, it is both a proposal for the future of Nissan electric vehicle (EV) development and a prototype of an upcoming production vehicle. The vehicle's unique architecture gives the driver and passengers a fresh electric vehicle driving experience based on peerless technology and exotic styling. Its shape alone, with the narrow front track, goes against the norm that has dominated the roads since the earliest days of the internal combustion engine. BladeGlider has its conceptual roots in two aerial images: the soaring, silent, panoramic freedom of a glider and the triangular shape of a high performance “swept wing” aircraft.
When BladeGlider matures into a production car, it could be Nissan's first use of in-wheel motors. The in-wheel motors provide rear-wheel propulsion with independent motor management, while also contributing to freedom of upper body design and space-efficient packaging.
Inside the canopy, the cockpit seats three in a triangular configuration with the driver centre-forward. Seating appointments feature special light and comfortable coverings with yellow fluorescent lines. Amid simple yet edgy interior styling cues, an aircraft-type steering wheel and state-of-the-art instrumentation technology complete the glider-like image. To support maximum EV cruising efficiency, the IT system can display relief maps and atmospheric conditions.
As a rear-drive performance car, the BladeGlider has a coherent and linear handling that enables it to maneuver road curves, while providing feedback for intuitive and exhilarating steering control when cornering under threshold conditions.
