<< Prev Page 2 of 2 They sought to employ a simple and clean attitude, using the authentic items that they favour to artfully combine various things and give substance to their self-expression. The interior details of this four-passenger concept car are a carefully selected mix of fashionable functionality and comfort in a design brimming with creative originality. It is meant to feel like a living room inside a car where the owner and his or her friends can relax. The round, no-nonsense steering wheel, attached to the level dashboard, mounts a modern-looking speedometer that would not seem out of place in a younger person's lounge. Together with an analog clock, prominently located above the centred function monitors, the cumulative effect is an interior that feels heavily influenced by the wish for a cozy, relaxing space. Additionally, the coordination of finished metals with the thick surfacing material on the dashboard and console, combined with the denim selected to cover the seats and certain trim areas, produces sections that dazzle the eye but are balanced by more calming hues in other spots. This is the unique quality of the co-creators' taste as expressed in the cabin appointments. In particular, the moderately faded texture and colour of the denim used in the interior conveys a new kind of quality, a back-to-basics charm seldom seen in cars until now. Though compact in size - about 4.1 metres in length, 1.7 meters in width, and 1.3 metres in overall height - the IDx Freeflow impresses with its daring yet dignified exterior. The car's "floating roof", a seamless rounded roof shape, is another design twist that accentuates the simple box form of the body. The exterior colour is a sophisticated combination of white and flax (a light brown shade), invoking a casual feeling like that produced by the pairing of the venerable white T-shirt with khaki chinos, and highlighted with silver accessories or a belt. The overall visual effect is completed by the addition of stylish 18-inch chrome wheels. The digital native cohort's quest for authenticity can also be interpreted as a demand for economy and efficiency in their everyday car. For this kind of vehicle, the requisite high level of fuel economy and driving performance could come from a powertrain with a 1.2-to-1.5L gasoline engine mated to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Many of the group of co-creators who were involved with IDx NISMO are people who grew up playing racing simulation games that feature cars of the past and from all corners of the globe. They had a natural desire to realise that virtual driving experience in a real car of their own. Not limited to being inspired just by racing cars, IDx NISMO was born from a refined combination of the freedom to borrow liberally from memorable vehicles of yesteryear and the present, in addition to whatever was felt exudes "cool." The IDx NISMO's co-creation dialogue took the distilled heritage of Nissan's basic box-shaped racing vehicles of the past and married it with various intriguing new details. This resulted in a car that appears to be timeless and moored in a place all its own. << Prev Page 2 of 2 |
