The Japanese manufacturer Nissan has just presented a rather nice electric car concept car called Max-Out. Even if a production version is not planned, it nevertheless gives some clues to the electrified future of the brand, particularly in terms of aesthetics.

In terms of electrification, if Nissan was ahead of its time with the presentation of the first Leaf in 2009, it took almost ten years for a new generation of electric to emerge with the Nissan Ariya.
This model is the first in a series of electric cars that will soon make up the Nissan range, even if the manufacturer’s electrification strategy remains quite opaque for the moment, in particular due to internal turbulence with the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance and a redefinition of the outlines of the collaboration.
Nissan will accelerate for the electric
The Japanese firm has just kicked off the “Nissan Futures”, a series of events and conferences devoted to its future, electric of course, and which will be held in Yokohama, its headquarters. It is through these events that we should learn more about the future of the manufacturer, both in terms of products and alliance with Renault.
To mark the beginning of these events, Nissan took the opportunity to present a rather spectacular concept car named Max-Out and which, unfortunately, will not lead to a production model. It’s a shame, especially since Nissan is, in general, pretty keen on the idea of making passion cars, as evidenced by the Nissan GT-R and other 400Zs.
The electrification of its range should nevertheless lead to the arrival of one or more electric sports models that said, but not before a solid base of electric models made up the catalog of the Japanese manufacturer.
A simple style study?
If you have a good memory, this concept car must certainly tell you something. Indeed, it was presented for the first time in November 2021 in a digital form.
It became reality in Yokohama, and this concept inaugurates extremely futuristic lines, with wheels with a particularly extravagant design and beams of yellow and neon blue LEDs that smell good of the end of the 1990s and the spicy preparations of certain Japanese sports cars.
If the exterior is spectacular, the interior is just as spectacular, if not more so. We find a large screen enveloping the entire dashboard with a rectangular-shaped steering wheel inspired by airplane controls.
For once, if the convertible body, no longer very fashionable at the moment, should not give birth to a production model, we can well imagine this interior adorning future 100% electric Nissansespecially the smaller models.
For the rest, we remain on our hunger, since Nissan has not (yet?) specified which powertrain was present under the hood, nor if some of the components presented will be found on future production models.
More than two years after its revelation, the Nissan Ariya embarks on an unprecedented adventure. The firm has indeed transformed its electric car in order to make it reach the two poles during a long trip…
