Nissan has exploited the “Blade Glider” to decorate it`s huge pavilion at the 2018 Automech Formula Motor Show; one of the largest and most prestigious events in the automotive industry in the region. The Motor Show will be held from the 26th to the 30th of September, 2018 at Egypt International Exhibition Center.

Blade Glider It’s a car we’ve met before, in wild concept car form “advanced prototype”, an electric vehicle for car lovers, and its spec bears that out nicely. Only the rear wheels are driven, each one getting its own 130kW motor, Total system output, in relatable numbers, is 264bhp and 521lb ft.

The power is metered between the two motors via torque vectoring, to ensure any under steer, from that narrow front end, is kept in check. It comes in three flavors: ‘off’, ‘agile’, and ‘drift mode’, What will a BladeGlider be like at power sliding?

The interior design is also meant to echo its driver-focused vibe. The seats – three of them, in a McLaren F1-like layout, come with four-point harnesses, The chairs themselves are coated in an epoxy resin that’s designed to stick the occupants in place.

The motorsport inspired steering wheel, swathed with buttons, toggles and a display of vital statistics. The cameras-instead-of-wing-mirrors dream becoming reality, like on the similarly forward-thinking VW XL1. Rear-hinged, dihedral doors that provide access to an al fresco cabin, with just a roll cage between your bonce and the sky.
