The latest concept from Nissan has the futuristic name – Land Glider. The vehicle delivers all new driving experience. It is a two-seater, cocoon-like structure powered by two zero emission electric motors. Land Glider is targeted at city dwellers of all generations.

The cockpit is specially designed to protect the passengers and also to hold the occupants firmly in place, when the vehicle is cornering at angles. Land Glider has the ability to lean in corners in order to turn sharply at nearly any speed. The vehicle employs sensors for vehicle speed, steering angle and yaw rate to instantly calculate the level of lean required to negotiate a corner.

There is another very useful system, which will be integrated in Nissan Land Glider – Collision Avoidance. There will be sensors mounted in the body detect other vehicles in the same way as fish swim in schools without colliding.

Land Glider gives a clear direction to how a future small car from Nissan could look in big cities.
