Its new BladeGlider concept is a closer-to-production version of a design study that it first unveiled in 2013. There’s still no confirmation that the BladeGlider will go on sale anytime soon, if ever, but Nissan’s continued efforts with the vehicle suggest it’s seriously under consideration. Nissan claims the 2900-pound BladeGlider can sprint to 60 mph in less than five seconds, and has a top speed restricted to 115 mph. Individual electric motors power the rear wheels with a combined 268 hp and 521 lb-ft of torque, and can shift power side to side to enhance the car’s handling.
