The Nissan Land Glider is an electric car with two seats stacked one behind the other like a jet. The body is extremely narrow and compensates in hard turns by leaning like a motorcycle. Three things I noticed about this concept.
1. Joystick-like steering has been in concepts since like FOREVER. All I ever hear is how superior it is to the old fashioned wheel yet last I checked, every car has a conventional steering wheel. The interior is absolutely stunning. A nice mix of utility, efficiency and childhood anime dreams.
2. The narrow profile had me doing double takes. It looks like someone forgot to check the "constrain proportions" box when resizing the image but no, that's really how the Land Glider looks. This brings me to my third point.
3. It's a cool vehicle with oodles of potential in congested cities but anything with wheels touching the ground isn't so much of a glider as it is another car.
