Nature's beauty inspiring Nissan iV as a high-performance EV. “organic synthetics” is a super-lightweight sports tourer feature which revolutionary manufacturing technique in which automotive parts are cultivated like agriculture in a 100% sustainable, carbon-neutral process.
Every detail is engineered maximum efficiency, toward renewable, and lightweight strength.
Featuring an interwoven organic frame, the chassis material is synthetically grown and formed into an aerodynamic shape.
Derived from fast-growing ivy and re-enforced with spider silk composite, the biopolymer frame is flexible and ultra-light, yet extremely robust.The panoramic cabin seats four adults and is constructed from an innovative photovoltaic material that weighs 99% less than traditional glass.
While the canopy collects solar energy, it also provides protective safety and open-air views of the outdoors.Underneath it all, a slim bio-battery provides stability and a near limit-less range made possible by regenerative super-capacitor technology that recoups 60% of kinetic energy spent.
Nissan’s patented concentric hub-less in-wheel motors not only propel iV, they do triple-duty by functioning as the vehicle’s steering as well as its suspension system, via magnetic levitation and propulsion.
Concentric magnetic rings amplify rotation with each outer ring to boost high-speed performance and provide independent wheel control for ultimate handling and maneuverability.Inspired by schools of fish and their fluid movement, Nissan’s pro-active Safety Shield™ renders collisions a thing of the past and reduces weight by eliminating the need for heavy structures (bumpers, beams, airbags, etc.).
