The Nissan Hyper Punk – a vehicle for creativity, whether it be brainstorming or publishing – is how Nissan describes the fourth member of its series of concept vehicles created for the Japan Mobility Show next week.
Conceived with a functional and stylish bodystyle, the Hyper Punk is an all-electric compact crossover which can be used by content creators, influencers, and artists.
Multifaceted exterior surfaces
With an exterior aesthetic defined by multifaceted and polygonal surfaces, the vehicle stands out from the crowd especially thanks to the tones in the silver paint that shift depending on viewing angle and light source.
The design’s superior aerodynamic performance and bold powerful style, which goes against the minimalist design, represent the user’s desire for self-expression and breaking conventional wisdom and Nissan’s progressive approach to introducing new technologies and designs.
Urban and off-road appeal
The design has compact overhangs and large 23-inch wheels which are suited for off-road driving, but don’t look out of place in the city either. The headlights, tail lamps, and rear signature emphasize the polygonal shapes and are integrated into the body surface, further accentuating this unique vehicle.
Interior with origami-styled elements
Inside, origami-styled elements mirror Japanese taste and create an interior space where digital and art are fused together. For example, the onboard cameras can capture the scenery around the car and use AI to convert to manga-style scenery or graphic patterns according to the owner’s preferences. The imagery can then be projected on a three-screen display arranged around the driver in the cockpit, creating a space where reality and the world of the metaverse are fused together.
The Hyper Punk is intended to serve as a mobile creative studio, hence to availability of internet connectivity which can link occupants’ devices and creative equipment, enabling users to access information or create on the go.
With AI and headrest biosensors, the vehicle’s operating system can detect the driver’s mood and automatically select the right music and lighting, thus boosting the driver’s energy and creativity.
Sharing energy with V2X
Like many of the latest Nissan EVs, the Hyper Punk has a V2X system that can provide electricity supply to external devices from the battery pack. This will be useful for content creators when using their devices outside the vehicle, or at community events.
