The concept was presented at the Nissan Futures event by Alfonso Albaisa, Nissan senior vice president for global design, and Juan Manuel Hoyos, Nissan global marketing divisional general manager for brand and engagement.
The Ariya Single Seater Concept explores what a future electrified performance style for Nissan could look like.
Design
cues from the all-new Ariya all-electric SUV can be seen across the
Ariya Single Seater Concept. At the front of the vehicle is the
electrified and illuminated “V” motion, familiar from Nissan’s current
road car design language. At the side view, inspiration has been taken
from the Ariya’s fluid and efficient surfaces, exaggerated to a maximum
in carbon fiber. Overall, the Ariya Single Seater Concept describes a
form that, as with the Ariya, looks like it was shaped by the air
itself.
Nissan’s participation in the ABB FIA Formula E World
Championship also played a key role in inspiring the Ariya Single Seater
Concept. Nissan races in the all-electric world championship to bring
the excitement and fun of zero-emission electric vehicles to a global
audience, and to be at the cutting edge of EV research and design.
