The Japanese builder adapted his Japanese Cube to make an electric motor car which he presented in concept in New York.

Denki, in Japanese, it means “electric”. 1.3 in four cylinders of the original Cubic model was replaced by an electric engine fed by flattened batteries lithium-ion installed under the floor and the seats. To welcome them, the cockpit of the Cube counts only two rows of seats, against three for the model with marketed oil, and the footing was stretched out by 23,9 cms. The concept can roll 160 km before having to reload for 8 hours. Its announced top speed is 120 kph.

Economic solution of development because it is a question of transplanting a mode of electric propulsion on an already existing model. To justify its qualifier of concept, the Cube benefits however from some aesthetic retouch to make show-bus. So, the cockpit was completely rebuilt. Outside, Denki Cube offers itself of new shields, of which a bumper before raising electric flashes of lighting and indicators in star. Rear-view mirrors and hub caps for the wheels of 16 thumbs are also unpublished.

This concept is also there to accustom the public American to the look of this city-dweller who, after Japan, will dash in the assault of the American market in 2009. At least, Nissan settled as objective of throw on the market, before 2015, an electric motor car. For 2010, the builder aspires to produce a thermal power-driven car showing an average consumption from 3 liters to 100 km.

Funny machine presented in New York by Scion, the “young” brand of the group Toyota not distributed to us.

According to the press release follower of the borborygme, this concept Hako Coupé “translated a dynamic global vision of the current youth”. The builder presents this car as “a sports box”. To draw this concept, the division design of Tokyo studied the last tendencies of the American youth and that of Japan. As far as these two cultures, according to Scion, influence mutually. Having said that, this automobile draws the attention with its lively color, its rectangular radiator grill and its curves. We can see it as a mixing of hot-rod American and the model xB of the brand (cousin of the Daihatsu Materia).

In fact, this concept is especially worth seeing by his aesthetic boldness. We also notice lights DEL in front as behind, vertical windscreen, truncated roof and wheels of 18 thumbs. The passenger compartment is a mixture of black and orange with metal touches. Scion also indicates that seats are easy to wash by the use of a cover it urethane and rubber. The central console separating both front seats (orange for the driver, the black for the passenger) can receive numerous objects. It is not moreover the storage spaces which miss. Addressing the young people, the designers chose to be inspired by video games for the dashboard, the control lever of the box and the steering wheel of this 4 places. Moreover, the system of multimedia has two screens because we can download some music, videos and images via Bluetooth there.
