The futuristic Nissan BladeGlider, which we saw as a concept at the Tokyo Motor Show in 2013, is now fully functional car. It will be demonstrated later this month at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, which will offer dynamic tests of journalists and VIP guests. The car is still a prototype, but is now fully functional and has modern drive system. The unit is fully electric, developed by technical partner Nissan - Williams Advanced Engineering, and includes two motors with a total output of 268 hp and 707 Nm of torque, which are placed in each of the rear wheels. Top speed is over 190 km/h and sprint 0-100 km/h takes less than five seconds, says the official information from the Japanese company.
The machine is equipped with torque vectoring system that controls the distribution of torque between the drive wheels. If the car begins to nedozaviva technology automatically sends more torque to the outside of the bend wheel to counter understeer. The system is designed to give added value to the driving pleasure rather than to control it, specifying, Nissan and complement that technology has three settings: Off, Agile and Drift.
Another curious detail in BladeGlider is the location of the seats, which is in the 1+2 - like the legendary McLaren F1. The interior is sporty, with features inspired by the cars steering wheel, sport seats with 4-point seatbelts and multiple monitors representing all sorts of information, including cameras, replacing conventional mirrors.
The exterior is designed in unison, showing “swinging doors” and subject to the aerodynamics forms. The electric car has an advanced configuration of the chassis with a narrow front track and wider rear tracks, thus optimizing aerodynamic efficiency and stability of management.
At the moment it is not clear whether Nissan plans to climb BladeGlider the conveyor. Further details will be available at the end of this month, when it will take place the dynamic performance of the machine.
