Car buffs, especially Nissan fans, are in for a delightful surprise as the Japanese auto brand is gearing up its four new concepts for the upcoming Tokyo auto show.

First in line is the next-generation Nissan Maxima equipped with a new V6 diesel Nissan engine. It offers barn-style doors for easier access and a large panoramic glass windscreen. The luxury vehicle also includes Nissan parts such as two Nissan headlights that occupy the front wing and bonnet areas, aerodynamic mirrors, and two tailpipes with the rear bumper.

Second is the Nissan NV200 concept vehicle that looks more like a mobile office. The van, which works like an office away from office, is designed to cut the commuting time of working people by providing a spacious and fully-equipped area for them to do their jobs.

On the other hand, the Round Box Concept, also called Rd-Bx, offers a unique view on open-air monitoring. This red car is a fusion of economy and space of a supermini car with the looks and handling of a sports car. The four-seater machine ha no roof, but it has an almost vertical rear. A 1.6-liter petrol turbo engine powers the Rd-Bx. Clear panels under the doors give the sense of amazing speed by enabling passengers to view the road surface flash under them. Such innovation was first used on Nissan’s Urge concept that was launched last year at the Detroit auto show.

The last and the most eye-catching is the clever Pivo2 that resembles a toy car. This electric car that uses lithium-ion batteries can rotate at all directions because of its wheel base. The most striking feature of the Pivo2 is a robot on-board the car that employs a camera directed on the driver to monitor fatigue. If the driver falls asleep while driving, the Pivo 2 can raise the alarm to awaken the driver.

Two years ago, the immaculate white Pivo was one of the highlights in the 2005 Tokyo Motor Show. Among its notable Nissan Parts, the cabin, which can do a full revolution, was the most unique component for this concept car. Just over the weekend, an improved version of this electric car branded as Pivo 2 was announced to grace this year’s Tokyo Motor Show slated this month.

Still carrying the signature 360-degree rotating cabin, the light blue-colored Pivo 2 will be among the concept cars that are highly-anticipated in the biennial auto show. The second installment for Pivo is designed and engineered with an improved circular cabin that can head to all directions. Aside from the rotating body of the Pivo 2, this futuristic car of Nissan has a set of wheels that is capable of a quarter rotation. Such wheels enable the operator to drive the Pivo 2 forward and sideways.   With these remarkable Nissan Parts of the Pivo 2, the driver is given the ability to easily maneuver the car in the most narrow parking spaces because of the rotating cabin and wheels.

Japanese’s imaginative creativity is also very evident in the audible warnings and messages of the Pivo 2. Inside the cabin, Nissan installed a digital camera, which looks like a robot’s head, and a microphone that examine a driver’s appearance and voice, respectively. Once these Nissan Parts are able to conclude that the operator is weary, for example, a voice prompt will say, “Relax, don’t worry” or “You are never alone in the Pivo 2”.

To date, this one-door Pivo 2 concept is among the friendliest cars to the environment as it uses the compact lithuim-ion battery for power. Nissan’s one of a kind concept car, which can be charged in regular electric sockets, has a shelf-life of five years or equal to 100,000 mileage.
