The recently concluded Frankfurt Auto Show saw the emergence of Nissan’s latest concept car – the Nissan Mixim Concept. This vehicle is an all-electric mini car which hopes to attract the future buyers. The Mixim has a hatchback design, rakish styling, gull-wing doors and with these, Nissan hopes to attract gamers and other young people who are more into computers than cars. It’s also Nissan’s way of showing that electric cars can also be quite attractive.

The Mixim has a 3+1 seating arrangement, making the driver sit right up front the cabin in this svelte coupe. This electric car is also fronted with a wrap-around windscreen which aims to imitate a helmet visor. Gamers can also feel at home with the dashboard that’s specifically designed to be familiar to them. This has the newly-developed “Super Motor” electric generator/motor rated at 82 horsepower to make it more appealing to young people. One propels the front axle and a second the rear axle, thus making the Mixim an all-wheel drive vehicle. The automaker’s spokesman said that the Mixim has an “unusually rapid performance” for an electric runabout combined with a usefully extended range. Top speed is given as 180 kilometres an hour (112 miles per hour) and the Nissan can travel for 250 kilometres before its lithium-ion batteries need recharging. As of the moment, the Japanese car maker has no plans yet of putting the Nissan Mixim into series production model but the development is in line with the desire of Nissan to make the mobile society a more sustainable one.
