Nissan Pivo Concept at Tokyo Motor Show

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., today unveiled Pivo, its imaginative electric car concept, in partnership with renowned Japanese artist Takashi Murakami at the company's Nissan Ginza Gallery in downtown Tokyo.

Pivo, which will be on display at this year's Tokyo Motor Show, features an innovative cabin that revolves 360 degrees, eliminating the need to reverse. Thanks to its compact body, the car is also exceptionally easy to maneuver
Pivo is powered by Nissan's compact, high-performance lithium-ion battery and its unique Super Motor, resulting in zero emissions.

The gallery space for the Pivo event, which was designed by Murakami, features a futuristic vegetable garden installation, as well as large balloons and illustrations of "Pivo-chan," a character he designed based on the concept car's inspiring image.

Good Lord, that thing is ridiculous. Can you imagine seeing that driving down the street and possibly keeping a straight face?? It must be quite a rush, though, to be buzzing along at top speed (50 mph?) and then flip the switch to turn the passenger compartment 90 degrees...or 180 degrees.[img]images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

good luck on the freeway ..you'll certainly need it,I pomise you! the average speed of a semi on 5 north interstate around camp Pendleton California is 65 MPH, sometimes 70 Mph…
private cars, 80 Mph.. cops pull you over if you are doing 100 Mph or more.. Guys have overtaken me while I am doing 100 Mph.. in my corolla..
Now tell me; what will happen to you in this iPod?

They actually bothered to print the protractor scale on the turret

[Redcoat]

The Pivo also eliminated good taste in the process, too.

It would look sweet with some chrome 10's on it.

If that's what the new Camry has hints of, HHR RULES!!!

Why am I even bothering with fits about the Impala?

You know that some ricer kid is probably going to a turbocharger and set of 17 inch rims, a coffee can muffler.
