Nissan GT-R Design - 2050

[DaveBerlin]

Nissan creatives mold a 1:1 model based on a senior design student’s vision for a super autonomous future - Dave

“In 1970 a new kind of supercar emerged wearing the unfamiliar badging "GT-R" in Japan. Future car designer Jaebum "JB" Choi was still decades away from being born in Seoul, South Korea. A lot can change in 50 years. Choi, like many of the graduating seniors at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, Calif., looked to the future for his final thesis – not 50 years, but the year 2050. He selected a vehicle with a rebel soul – the Nissan GT-R – for a design study in a future autonomous era when machines can embody a driver’s emotion through a physical connection.“

Sorry - but the first word that came to mind seeing that was "SILLY"

I see it's also:

Very Small:

The completed project runs just under 10 feet long and sits just over two feet high.



... and:

The single occupant, the driver, rests horizontally in a "prone" position with limbs extended in an X-shape. The driver wears a futuristic, form-fitting suit and helmet that resembles a superbike riders’ protective helmets and leathers.



So it's actually more like a motorbike on steroids?

Looks wrong in every way
