Default Nissan Round Box (R.D/B.X) Concept









Nissan Round Box (R.D/B.X)

Posted on Wednesday 10 October 2007

The Round Box represents Nissan’s take on open-air motoring and is designed as a roadster with seating capacity for four and a removable glass roof. Designers have also added “road surface windows” to give occupants a greater sense of speed. These are basically small glass panels placed close to the ground on both sides of the car, providing passengers with a view of the rapidly passing road surface, without the risk of road contact.

Another innovative feature is the interactive “Play Catch” system, which allows the driver and passengers, including those in the back, to share entertainment and driving information.

Nissan says this concept is aimed at the youth market but there’s been no mention of any production possibility.

Interesting yet functional.

Reminds me of the LF-C with the top down...

Pretty cool! Interesting to see more and more Renault design influence in the new small Nissans.

Reminds me of the Renault Megane from behind, in fact the whole car does.

Front shot, actually of the turbocharged Megane Sport, of which they also sell here in Mexico and I see them at my track hit 15s at altitude in the 1/4 mile.

Me too. I was just hinting at how funny it is that most of the Japanese show concepts seem to cater to this concept of a youth lounge on wheels.

Now that's original! It looks like a shoe :P.

Major blind spots though but it looks cool!
