Shortly after its electric vehicle LEAF production, Nissan is still riding the green car hype with another EV in the making. Behold the electric sports car of the future—the ESFLOW.
Nissan leaked previews and reviews about its newest concept early this month, and the Japanese automaker plans to rock the 2011 Geneva Auto Show next month with its explosive sports car/EV combination.
Although merely a concept at this point, Nissan shows the world the possibility of creating a green car without sacrificing the looks and pleasure of sports car driving. The Esflow’s powerhouse will be able to shoot from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in less than five seconds, an engine concept that could very well prove that EVs could match the force and speed of sports cars.
The Esflow will be incorporated with the same technology used for the LEAF and that means having laminated lithium-ion batteries as well for its engine. Nissan designed the sports car as a two-seater, rear-wheel drive with twin electric motors positioned above the rear wheels’ axis for optimum stability, control and power distribution.
To complete the futuristic sports car look, the Esflow has electric blue LED accent lights for the front and rear with glacier blue color scheme and six spoke wheels. A wraparound windscreen is mounted on the car for maximum visibility, complete with rear view cameras and charging points secretly stationed underneath the front lights.
For the interior, the Esflow has all the features a typical futuristic vehicle would have. It has steel framed, motorized seats upholstered in gold leather and trimmed in gold suede, while the doors are accentuated with dark blue leather. Four LCD screens are mounted on the silver-trimmed dashboard.
Wipe away the drools from your mouths though. For now, the ESFLOW is just a concept. Hopefully, Nissan will let this concept see the light of production soon. Only then can the futuristic EV-sports car dream become a reality.
