Nissan unveils Hyper Force the fifth of its electric concepts for the Tokyo Motor Show. Hyper Force is designed for racing enthusiasts who seek adrenaline on the track, but are environmentally conscious. It is a high-performance all-electric supercar that offers driving pleasure, comfort in everyday use and full respect for the environment. The engine, capable of developing up to 1,000 kW of power, is powered by a solid-state battery. High aerodynamic performance, e-4ORCE all-wheel drive and a high-strength carbon fibre structure enhance the car’s dynamic behaviour in every driving situation, even on the most twisty roads.
The exterior design reflects the Hyper Force’s sporty character, with lines that are both muscular and elegant, and elements that recall Nissan’s high-performance N cars – such as the front and rear headlights. The exterior was designed together with the NISMO racing team. The front bonnet and rear diffuser are designed to optimise airflow in order to generate the necessary downforce and cool the power unit. The front wings, front mudguards and rear wing tips have a unique active feature. The lightweight carbon rims have a design that aids aerodynamics and brake cooling.
The concept has two driving modes, ‘R’ (racing) and ‘GT’ (grand touring). The user interface, created in collaboration with Polyphony Digital Inc., changes colour and display and is designed to provide all the necessary information for the driver in real time. In R mode, the cockpit lights up red, dashboard panels extend towards the seats, and four screens around the steering wheel indicate tyre grip and temperature, air pressure, brake temperature, power distribution and other information. In GT mode, the cockpit lights up blue and the screens surrounding the steering wheel recede and combine with each other. The driver’s and passenger’s front seats, equipped with four-point seat belts, are made of carbon fibre and are light and rigid, allowing a comfortable ride even over long distances.
