Just as expected , the 2010 Paris Motor Show isn’t only about the long carried legacy models, and their more powerful and tweaked up iterations from the famous auto brands. The concepts are too spinning the eye balls of the auto enthusiasts, gathered to enjoy the vast galore of the striking cars showcased at their respective stands. Making a strong impact on audiences is Nissan’s
Townpod EV concept with its zero emission promise, and lots of customization options for its young urban buyers.
Finished in Stratosphere White, the Townpod EV concept is a rather quirky looking subcompact that according to Nissan has been designed to adapt to driver’s way of living. Apparently, the Japanese automaker is here referring to the flamboyant “Spartan” interior that features a futuristic steering wheel, a flat loading floor and sliding rear seat and the Puck, a small rubber ball. Measuring roughly around the size of a squash ball with a wide groove into them, the Pucks can accommodate drink holders, cell-phone rests and hand-bag hooks. The prime highlight is a dual screen display that serves as an instrument panel, a satellite navigation system and controls the audio system of the car.
As for the exteriors, the charging points have been fitted into the nose behind an automatically retracting cover, which appears to be backlit, thanks to its electric blue painted surrounds. Similar electric blue hints are visible behind the door handles, number plate, the spokes of the alloy wheels and within the headlamp pods.
There are no details on the powertrain as of now except that Nissan’s Townpod EV concept, employs the same zero-emission technology found within Nissan LEAF.-nitrobahn.com
