Nissan ESFLOW

Looking like something out of Tron, the Nissan ESFLOW will be unveiled at the upcoming Geneva motor show. The ESFLOW will accelerate from standstill to 100km/h in less than five seconds , travel 240km on a single charge and emit zero emissions! (assuming green energy was used to charge the car). The powertrain unit employs technologies from the Nissan LEAF, with the twin electric motors placed above the rear wheels in a mid-ship position. The motors independently control the left and right wheels, and so the torque is optimized to ensure outstanding vehicle stability and control as well as efficient power regeneration. The ESFLOW's body is made from a rollbar-integrated aluminium chassis and wrapped in a composite shell, while its laminated lithium batteries are mounted to maintain a low centre of gravity. Nissan hasn't released all of the concept's technical details yet but stay tuned for more info as the Geneva Motor show gets underway.
