Nissan BladeGlider Concept (2013)

A deltoid, narrow-nosed electric sports car
The BladeGlider was a radical electric sports-car concept with a distinctive deltoid plan-view, pairing a very narrow 1.0-metre front track with a wide rear track for a triangular, glider-like stance. It used a rear-wheel-drive twin-motor layout with torque vectoring and a three-abreast 1+2 seating arrangement. Nissan later built driveable prototypes shown in 2016, retaining the concept's dramatic proportions and drift mode.
