Nissan Friend-ME Concept Car For Chinese Youth
Nissan Friend-Me is a latest sedan-with-a-hatchback developed specifically for Chinese youth. The exterior is meant to be most imposing at night, when Nissan figures these single children will be getting together with their friends. The sheetmetal looks like it was shaped by waves, and the details like lighting and vent openings could have been penned on Krypton.
The real show is inside, where peers are made equal and can interact with one another via the oracle stone. The concept is that instead of a driver and three passengers, everyone gets access to the same information and the ability to alter the ambiance of the car dash readouts are provided for all of the occupants, and anyone can move content from their phones to the in-car screens to be shared throughout.
Designed by Nissan Design China for a specific market-within-a-market estimated to contain 240 million potential buyers, Nissan says the wishes of these customers and the ideas in this car could shape automotive offerings for decades to come.
