← Japanese Oem Design Evolution
Nissan has issued the following press release:
Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., will present four show vehicles that incorporate new and exciting ideas for future models at the upcoming 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. The four concept cars include the “Pivo 2”, which presents a new connection between car and driver, with an “always enjoyable, everywhere convenient” state-of-mind; and “Round Box,” a youth-oriented compact convertible that provides occupants with a unique sensation of speed and exhilaration.
Nissan’s Tokyo Motor Show exhibit is built around three message pillars that represent the company’s direction: “Friendly Innovation,” “Passionate Driving” and “Emotive Design.” As demonstrated through the features of each concept car, “Friendly Innovation” provides a new relationship between the car and driver; “Passionate Driving,” one of Nissan’s long-standing strengths, brings new levels of driving pleasure and excitement; while “Emotive Design” strongly appeals to consumers’ visual sensibilities.
The Nissan exhibit also showcases the company’s Research and Development (R&D;) vision for the future, with a special focus on “Environment” and “Safety” advances. Displays feature Compact Lithium-ion Battery technology, the compact 3D motor, and the new Pop-up Engine Hood design, as well as a number of other advanced systems.
Nissan will also display, as promised in October 2001, the production version of the all-new Nissan GT-R. The details of the GT-R will be announced on October 24.
Nissan’s message to consumers at the Tokyo Motor Show, based on the above three pillars, is “The Passion and Innovation of the PIVO 2 & GT-R is in every NISSAN”. — Lexus LF-Xh and LF-A concepts at Tokyo Motor Show.
Round Box (R.D/B.X)
Youth-Oriented Compact Convertible Provides Occupants With Sensation of Speed and Exhilaration
* Round Box represents a new take on open-air motoring, providing exhilaration for all passengers – not just the driver – through its uniquely shared experience of fresh air stimulation, a sensation of speed and easy-to-use high-spec features.
* An innovative, interactive “Play Catch” system allows the driver and passengers – including those in the rear seat – to share entertainment and driving information.
* The “right sized” space to facilitate communication between the four passengers. Never-before-experienced value created by combinations of heterogeneous elements.
* Contributing to the shared sensation of speed are unique “road surface windows,” small glass panels placed close to the ground on both sides of the car, providing passengers with a view of the rapidly passing road surface, without the risk of road contact. — Subaru's exhibition at the 40th Tokyo Motor Show.
NV200
A Smart Business Tool of New Generation – for Active Professionals
* A substantial, rugged-looking exterior, combining a dramatic front cab with a traditional box-like storage space, creates an emotional looking body form never before seen in the LCV class.
* An interior created to combine efficiency and a human touch, mentally refreshing its occupants when traveling to or from a job site. The customizable cargo area houses a unique pod that can smartly accommodate a variety of business needs. The pod is divided into customizable trays and boxes for efficient storage of profession-specific equipment, materials, work gear and apparel.
* The displayed NV200 has been outfitted specifically for use by a professional ocean photographer. The work area is equipped with a remote control panel for a spider camera, as well as equipment for organizing and editing photographs and images while on assignment. — Mazda's Tokyo Motor Show presence.
Intima
A New-generation Saloon for People with a Sophisticated, Discerning Eye for Beauty – Who Enjoy Spending Time in Refined Elegance and Comfort, Whether Traveling Alone or with a Partner
* Intima takes Nissan’s Modern Living Concept into a new dimension with an interior that invites passengers into an extraordinary world of artistic forms, materials and illumination.
* The front passenger’s seat swivels approx. 80’ to the outside, as if to welcome and escort a passenger into the car.
* Exterior styling that matches the interior’s artistic image, with a design that combines sharp-edged lines and organic panel surfaces. Rich elegance is conveyed though Intima’s arching side character line, while the crystal-like appearance of the front and rear lamps, grille and wheels project an image of superior quality and refinement reminiscent of jewelry.
