At the Japan Mobility Show today, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. unveiled the Nissan Hyper Force. This is the fifth “hyper” concept vehicle showcased by the vehicle maker since October 3, 2023.
At its core is a high-output all-electric powertrain with an optimal-weight-balancing, all-solid-state battery that can produce an output of up to 1,000 kW with precise and rapid acceleration. Powerful downforce, an advanced form of Nissan’s e-4ORCE all-wheel-control technology, and a light-weight body featuring high-strength carbon promise enhanced cornering and exceptional handling on circuits and winding roads.
The concept features two driving modes, “R” (racing) and “GT” (grand touring). The graphical user interface changes colour and display according to the mode, and is designed to instantly display the most needed information for the driver in line with the driving circumstances. These graphics are the result of collaboration with Polyphony Digital Inc.
In R mode the cabin illuminates in red and creates an intuitive cockpit centred around the driver to support concentration. Panels on the dashboard extend toward the seating space to enhance the cockpit feel around the driver. Meanwhile, four satellite screens around the steering wheel display tire grip and temperature, air pressure, brake rotor temperature, power distribution and other information invaluable for racing.
In GT mode, the cabin illuminates in blue and the screens surrounding the steering wheel move away and combine together, providing an immersive experience with a simpler infotainment interface, including air conditioning, audio, suspension and stabilizer settings for a comfortable drive. The suspension and stabilizers have been designed as world-firsts that can be easily operated on screen while driving.
The driver and front passenger seats are made of lightweight, highly rigid carbon fiber that allows comfortable long-distance driving, and are equipped with four-point seat belts.
The exterior achieves high aerodynamic performance, which was developed together with the NISMO racing team, generating powerful downforce. The two-tiered aerodynamic structure under the front hood provides both strong downforce and high cooling performance.
Meanwhile, the dual-level rear diffuser optimally controls airflow. The front canards, front fender flip and both ends of the rear wing feature unique active aero functionality, while a newly developed plasma actuator suppresses air detachment to maximize grip and minimize inner-wheel lift during cornering. The lightweight forged carbon wheels aid aerodynamics and brake cooling.
Makoto Uchida, CEO and President, Nissan, said that all five concept cars showcased are symbols of the future and embody our founding spirit of ‘daring to do what others don’t’.
The EVs symbolise Nissan’s future of creating a cleaner, safer, and more inclusive world for everybody without compromising on passions and dreams, he added.
