Frankfurt motor show has come and gone, but not without some surprise when this unimaginable Nissan Gripz Concept emerged from the blues to wow the audience.
Read how Luxurious Magazine described the car below:
Looking more like a car that jumped straight out of a sci-fi moview than
something you could envisage on the road (we may be wrong), the sheer
visual impact of the car made many wonder if this really could make its
way to production. Once more, rather than show you just renders (you can
see these at the end of the gallery), we've gone with actual
photographs from the show to start.
Although maintaining a
similar footprint to a compact crossover, the Nissan Gripz Concept has
the silhouette of a sports car with a raised ride height, equipped to
conquer more challenging driving conditions.
The result pays
homage to one of Nissan’s first ‘crossovers’ - the iconic Safari
Rally-winning Nissan 240Z. In the 1970s these sports cars were
re-engineered using expertise gathered from Nissan’s 4x4 range to cope
with the demanding conditions of the Baja Peninsula, the open plains of
Kenya, Uganda and present day Tanzania. These rally racers featured a
raised ride height, toughened suspension and sported a matt-black finish
for the bonnet and trunk set against a deep red-orange body colour.
The
Nissan 240Zs were proof that sports cars didn’t have to be low to the
ground to be fun. The Nissan Gripz Concept proves this again -
incorporating Nissan’s expertise in crossovers, 4x4s, sports cars, and
to bring it fully up to date for the new generation, electric powertrain
prowess.
The Nissan Gripz Concept is equipped with an EV
technology based Series hybrid system ‘Pure Drive e-Power’. An efficient
petrol engine is used to power the electric motor found in the Nissan
LEAF.
The powertrain combines Nissan’s various control
technologies from its years of experience developing EVs. This
configuration delivers smooth, swift and linear acceleration in
near-silence, with supreme efficiency. As a result, the Nissan Gripz
Concept offers a smooth, refined and exhilarating driving experience
with outstanding fuel efficiency.
