Most concepts are quite wild, and we immediately know they'll never work, but the IDx Nismo got our hopes up. Unfortunately, it was too similar to the 370Z and Nissan had to pick one.
Nissan had an odd notion of building a multi-purpose car focused on a specific demographic need. In this case, it was older males with too many hobbies, thus the almost van-like looks.
Nissan's first full-size truck might have ended up looking awfully similar to the Cybertruck everyone wants now. However, it was far too early for such a daring concept.
If you ever wondered what a sports car designed by young gamers would look like, then you'd have to go no further than the URGE. It was imagined with a quick engine and onboard consoles.
Just as the world was ramping up toward the EV revolution, Nissan envisioned an electric sports car. It would have hit 60 mph in five seconds and traveled 150 miles on a charge.
While the fact that the Sport never made it to production is a blow to the hot hatch community, there is no denying that these small cars don't do well in the USA.
A car that never made it further than its video game origins, the Gran Turismo was designed by those who played the game of the same name. It looks surprisingly realistic.
More a prototype than a concept, four of these speedy crossovers were built, combining Juke and GT-R elements. It makes use of carbon fiber and a 600-hp engine for a 3-second 0-60 mph sprint.
Moving back in time now, the AP-X would have used a lightweight V6 with a high-performance CVT, providing performance without sacrificing economy. Marcello Gandini designed the looks.
Originally designed to compete with the likes of Ferarri and Porsche, the MID 4 definitely seems inspired by the competition. It would have used a mid-mounted V6 and rear-biased AWD.
