by SpeedLux

Nissan has launched a new concept car for Brazil which is an explosion of exotic colour, style and passion of Brazil. And thie new variant is called the Nissan EXTREM, which is directly aimed at young enthusiast who are keen to make a statement on road. This new car will be showcased at the 27th Sao Paulo International Motor Show.

“Brazil is a country of great natural beauty and it has a passionate, rich culture. But this is not always reflected in the cars on its streets, especially the more affordable locally produced vehicles which tend to be conservative in design, color and specification,” said Shiro Nakamura, Senior Vice President and Chief Creative Officer.

“EXTREM, with a dynamic, high-character design, is far from conservative. It was created to appeal to the country’s growing band of city-based young professionals who are passionate about design and want to make a personal statement. The lightweight two-door 2+2, has a dynamic stance, fresh surfacing, and a clear rugged ability to tackle the urban jungle everyday,” he added.

This new Nissan EXTREM has been designed by Nissan Design America (NDA) in San Diego, California, they collaborated with Brazilian designers and produced the car in Brazil itself, which now becomes a new breed of car, which has been blend of versatility and toughness. This car is strictly a concept car with no immediate plans for production.

Now lets talk about the car in detail:

Right from the beginning of its development, the design team behind the new EXTREM were clear about whole concept, quoting them, “We call it Baby Beast,” said Robert Bauer, Senior Design Manager for the project at NDA. “We see it as an urban rally car, a tough little street fighter that can handle the urban jungle with agility and confidence.” the Compact Concept, EXTREM’s wheelbase is 2450mm, its height is 1530mm, its length is 3850mm and finnaly width is 1765mm.

It all resulted in an exotic and distinctive concept, where the lower half of the body and an raised ground clearance expresses its strength, while the sharp and sloppy roof line suggest its sporty outlook. Classy elements such as wraparound glass, floating roof rails and detached C pillars, enhance the feeling of an open, airy cabin. The body shapes have overlapping panel and unique surface. Its roof rails also incorporates cleats to carry load, while the unique see-through A-pillar structure provides a standard visibility. On the outside you also see that both the headlamps and tail lamps feature Nissan’s signature graphics and advanced LED technology, the rear lights have high-tech layered fins, showcasing an airy, lightweight structure, along with that, a prominent aluminum skid plate to strengthen the centrally mounted exhaust. The exclusive Solar Cortex body color, a deep metallic orange with highlights, pays homage to Brazilian nature. Brightly colored accents of energy and can also be found on the gas cap, tow hook and the wheels, adding to the urban rally car theme. The roof pattern, a mix of gloss and matte textures, is inspired by iconic Brazilian graphics.

Inside its a sheer pleasure to checkout the quality craftsmanship and the attention given to each and every thing in detail, like flush mounted door handles, integrated side marker lamps, lightweight fender-mounted mirrors and the flush A- and B-pillars. The compact 2+2, EXTREM has a dedicated luggage space in the rear. A clever two-tier system provides secure storage, where items can be hidden from prying eyes beneath an exposed and removable cargo bin which is accessed via the rear hatch. The bin is designed for day-to-day items and fits neatly underneath a structural cross brace that adds extra stiffness to the shell and accentuates the sporting nature of the car. Six-spoke 19-inch alloy wheels are double layered with a dark inner and brushed metal outer and provide enhanced cooling to the brakes.

The power to compact Concept EXTREM is provided by Nissan’s advanced direct injection and turbocharged (DIG-T) 1.6-liter gasoline engine which shares its technology concept with the powertrain in the innovative Nissan DeltaWing Le Mans race car, and there are some rumours that EXTREM could also be offered with a choice of front or four-wheel drive with Torque Vectoring for enhanced handling capabilities.

“EXTREM suggests that exotic and exciting design need not just be reserved for expensive cars. It shows that innovative, sophisticated design can be made in a clever, attainable way. EXTREM is one of our answers to this possibility and it opens an exciting new chapter in our design relationship with Brazil,” said Nakamura.

There aren’t any details about the pricing of this car, but we assure you that once those details are out, we will be posting it soon, as of now, take a look at the pictures and stay tuned onto SpeedLux for more updates.
