The egg-like Nissan Pivo concept from 2005 is an unusual
city car concept with the unique ability to rotate its
cabin 360 degrees.
The Nissan Pivo also reduces blind spots by displaying
the vehicles surrounding onto small monitors mounted on
the A pillars.
A dash-mounted infrared (IR) commander allows the driver
to operate the navigation and stereo systems with simple
finger movements, without letting go of the steering wheel.
Inside, seating for three is provided, with the driver
in a central, slightly forward, seat.
The Nissan Pivo is powered by Nissan's own compact, high-performance
lithium-ion battery and its unique Super Motor, results
in zero emissions.
In 2007 Nissan unveiled a similar concept based on the
Pivo. The new concept had the unimaginative name of Pivo
2.
