Japan is popular for pioneering countless gadgets and gizmos, which are mostly geared for the younger audience and those young at heart. Just recently, the Japanese automaker Nissan has integrated some of the staple video games features into its latest concept car christened as the Nissan Mixim, which was showcased at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show.

This relatively small car, which only measures for 145 inches, eyes younger drivers according to Nissan. From the well-designed Nissan parts such as the bat-like doors to its video game control-like steering wheel, every bit of the four-wheel-drive Mixim Concept is sure to delight the fancy of younger generation of motorists.

Aside from Mixim’s unique Nissan parts, this compact car is also among Nissan’s green cars as it runs full-time on lithium-ion batteries and ‘Super Motor’. This concept vehicle is not only made to care for the environment but as well as to care for its users as this four-wheel machine is geared with the tough windshield meant to absorb front impacts. LED headlights are also installed to ensure utmost road vision of motorists during the night and during adverse weather conditions.

Weighing only 1200 lbs., the Nissan Mixim will be available by 2012 carrying a tag price range of $12,000 to $15,000.
