After the Hyper Urban, Hyper Adventure and Hyper Tourer, the Nissan Hyper Punk is the fourth in a series of study models that will be presented to the general public during the Japan Mobility Show. With newcomers, Nissan seems to mainly want to attract the attention of young people. The study models must be made available in the video game Fortnite, among other things. With this Hyper Punk, Nissan goes a little further in that regard. The car is focused on “[…] content creators, influencers, artists and anyone who embraces style and innovation.” According to Nissan, the show car offers a ‘seamless connection between the tangible and the virtual world.’
Nissan Hyper Punk Concept.
Nissan equips the interior of the Hyper Punk Concept with cameras so you can record videos of yourself anywhere. AI software should make it possible to overlay the images you have shot with a manga-like style. The result can then be conjured up on the three screens in the interior. According to Nissan, this creates – hold on – “[…] a world in which reality and the metaverse merge.” Nissan calls the car a mobile studio. Sensors in the headrests must be able to sense the mood of the occupants and then adjust the music and lighting in the interior accordingly. “[…] to boost the driver’s energy and creativity.”
