Japan Mobility Show 2023: Nissan unveils the Hyper Punk

Nissan's hyper-hype continues: The Hyper Punk is designed to connect the virtual and real worlds – along with the outside world and the inside of the vehicle. Thanks to V2X technology (Vehicle-to-Everything), users can charge their technical devices anytime and anywhere.

Digital Art in the Interior

Inside, origami-style elements are intended to reflect a typically Japanese design and thus create, according to Nissan, an interior that "combines digitalization and art." The built-in cameras capture the vehicle's surroundings and can transform them into manga scenes or graphic patterns using artificial intelligence, depending on the occupants' preferences. The images are projected onto three screens arranged around the driver in the cockpit, creating a space where reality and the metaverse merge.

The Creative Studio in the Middle of the Car

The interior is designed as a mobile creative studio and equipped with Wi-Fi. This allows all occupants to access a variety of content and information on the go or work creatively. With biosensors in the headrests and artificial intelligence, the Nissan Hyper Punk is supposed to recognize the passengers' mood and automatically choose the appropriate music and lighting to boost their energy and creativity. The question is, do we really want that?

With its unique exterior design, the Nissan Hyper Punk stands out from the crowd: multifaceted and polygonal surfaces as well as a silver-colored paint with various shades that change depending on the viewing angle and light source attract attention in city traffic. The powerful appearance contrasts with the minimalist design and represents Nissan's progressive approach to introducing new technologies and designs.

Massive: The Hyper Punk stands on 23-inch wheels

Short overhangs and large 23-inch wheels emphasize the versatility of the concept vehicle, which is supposed to be equally suitable for city traffic and off-road driving. Visually extra wild: headlights, taillights, and rear section adopt the polygonal shapes of the body and are directly integrated into its surface.
