Nissan Mixim

The Nissan Mixim is a sports-type electric concept car developed by Nissan and announced at the 62nd Frankfurt Motor Show in 2007. It is a four-wheel-drive design that uses two units of Nissan's patented two-axis Super Motor, one driving each axle, with compact lithium-ion batteries and regenerative braking that recharges the battery while driving. Inside, the steering wheel sits in the middle of the cabin, so the driver sits at the centre with a seat on each side and a further auxiliary seat behind the front seats, and the doors are gull-wing doors. The name Mixim is a coined word built from the English word mix and stands for the fusion of the real and the virtual. The infobox lists a three-door hatchback body, four seats, a 2,530 mm wheelbase and a mass of 950 kg.
